Title

I am not sure the title of this article "Clock Tower, Brighton" is exactly by the book. 1Z (talk) 12:18, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The great majority of sources refer to it thus. I know there are other clock towers in Brighton, but it is (in my experience of the sources) unusual for this one to be referred to by its full name, Jubilee Clock Tower; rather, this one typically takes "Clock Tower" and the others take "Preston Park Clock Tower", "Queen's Park Clock Tower" etc. Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 12:30, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it was more the ", Brighton" I was concerned about. Something like "Clock Tower (Brighton)" looks more

standard to me.1Z (talk) 16:57, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see what you mean. I don't think there's an official policy on this, other than the guidance to aim for consistency across articles. When I started to write building/church articles that needed disambiguation by place, I found that the majority seemed to have the "X, Y" construction rather than "X (Y)", so I went with that and continued on that basis. (Certainly in respect of UK-related articles; I think US-related articles seem to favour the "X (Y)" construction, though.) Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 17:07, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
