With reference to Hope Valley, I'd like to suggest replacing "look towards" with something more neutral. My view, as a resident, is that there is little interest among the locals in either Sheffield or Manchester, other than as sources of services. The geographical barriers may matter less now than formerly, but the cultural and social differences are still profound.

This has now be done, so I'll clear this discussion if there are no objections to the change in the next month or so.--ARAJ 12:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to clear the discussion; it's usual to keep it in place, in case it proves useful to refer to in future. Warofdreams talk 00:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with High Peak Borough Council

Do you agree with a proposal to merge this article with High Peak Borough Council?

I think that they should be merged because most other metropolitan and non-metropolitan districts in the United Kingdom just have one article to cover both the council and the area, see Derbyshire Dales or Metropolitan Borough of Tameside for examples of neighboring districts.

Information from High Peak Borough Council would be required to be merged into this article if a merger was to go ahead as both articles overlap but much information does not feature on both

I think that the High Peak (another name for the Dark Peak of the Peak District) is different enough from the civic administration area to merit two separate pages.

High Peak, Derbyshire → Borough of High Peak – DAB from High Peak (upland) per WP:UKDISTRICTS as this appears to be split from that article. "High Peak District" is also a common way to refer to the district. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:27, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It feels clumsy to call it "Borough of High Peak", and their website states it's High Peak Brough Council, so the current title should be fine. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:58, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is about the district, not its council, we have a separate article at High Peak Borough Council. Crouch, Swale (talk) 14:13, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Overwhelmingly seems to be referred to just as High Peak. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:01, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What about the upland which it appears to be named after? Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:06, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If that wasn't a redirect then I'd probably agree with you. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:45, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, what I think you are saying is that the upland isn't usually called "High Peak" but much more commonly called "Dark Peak". Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:52, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, I think the upland is usually called High Peak. But it isn't on Wikipedia at the moment. Given at the moment High Peak (upland) is a redirect, I think it's fine to keep the current article as is. Also, the upland area isn't only in Derbyshire, so I think the current situation would probably be fine even if the Dark Peak article was moved. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:08, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you think WP could right now have an article on the upland then shouldn't that be enough? If you look at WP:UKDISTRICTS it notes that those that are "split" from the geographical feature/area (and thus are only about the district) such as Kettering/Borough of Kettering, while those that aren't like South Holland, Lincolnshire, North Devon or Ashfield, Nottinghamshire (see my RM there) are comma disambiguated. This appears to be partly because they include info on the geographical area, as it notes on the North Devon article, the geographical area is considerably larger. While the Commons category (and our category here should also) is at Commons:Category:North Devon District however the article is fine at "North Devon". What needs to be asked is what is the scope of the article? Is it just about the district or is it also about the geographical area as well, I'd note that it does currently contain info on the hundred. Anyway WP prefers natural disambiguation and both "High Peak", "High Peak District" (marked as alternative label) and "Borough of High Peak" (per the infobox) appear to be common.

Maps

As someone who explored these areas when I lived in Sheffield 50 to 60 years ago, I find the maps in this article to be pretty useless. I now live in Australia. Can someone find some better maps? --Bduke (talk) 10:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
