[edit] Rename

I intend to rename this article "The Fylde" instead of "Fylde peninsula". As far as I know everyone refers to it as the Fylde; I've never seen the phrase "Fylde peninsula" anywhere other than on Wikipedia. I'm announcing my intention in case anyone violently objects to this. --Dr Greg 11:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Even the disambiguation page Fylde states that the area is normally known as The Fylde. I have never heard anyone refer to the area as Fylde peninsula, only ever as The Fylde or the Fylde Coast. I fully agree with your proposal to rename the article. Perhaps with a small section being added about the Fylde Coast (other than the comment about the Fylde Coast being a Local Justice area) too?♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 13:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, I was born there and my parents still live there - it's always "The Fylde". Keith Worden 12:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

That's good enough for me, so I've moved it. When I have time I'd like to add more to this article, but in the mean time, feel free to expand yourself if you can. --Dr Greg 12:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

I am proposing to create [[Category:The Fylde]] and a subcategory [[Category:Fylde (borough)]]. This latter name would break the convention that borough categories do not include the word "borough" in their name, but I think this is necessary in this case to avoid confusion between the two categories. This is currently being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography#Names of categories for local government districts. Please contribute there if you have an opinion. --Dr Greg 17:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
