Standardisation

Proposing to ‘move’ so that the borough name is used in the title. This seems to be the standard.AlasdairDaw (talk) 17:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:PRECISION. The claimed standard does not exist and would not be a good one. In this case, the place is not considered to be in Camden and is nowadays considered to be in the Euston district. The borough is a local government artifact which does not correspond well with such London districts. The borough of Camden is a comparatively recent creation (1965) while this place goes back centuries. Such complexities would tend to cause conflict and confusion and are not needed as there isn't currently a problem requiring fixing. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:02, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not needed. No such standard exists. AlasdairDaw should familiarise themselves with Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Edwardx (talk) 10:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
