Talk:Woolston, Shropshire

Article split

Further to discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject England#Disambiguation, it has been suggested that this article be split into two new articles (one for each hamlet), or have its contents split into articles relating to each hamlet. Please add any comments below. — Richardguk (talk) 20:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As noted at the WikiProject page, I have added some basic infobox information for each hamlet. It might be simpler just to split the page into two articles. Not sure of the best names. For now, I've used section headings #Woolston, south Shropshire and #Woolston, north Shropshire (lower case "north" and "south" because South Shropshire district has been abolished, and the other hamlet was never in North Shropshire district though it is currently in the constituency of North Shropshire). The post towns Church Stretton and Oswestry might be better disambiguators (they are each contained in the current electoral division names), but they could mislead readers into thinking that these rural places are suburbs of those towns. The parish names are perhaps too obscure to be in the article titles.

I propose that the article be split to two stubs: Woolston, south Shropshire (with redirects from Woolston, South Shropshire and Woolston, Church Stretton) and Woolston, north Shropshire (with redirects from Woolston, North Shropshire and Woolston, Oswestry). Woolston, Shropshire would then become a disambiguation page.
