– Why do we need a disambiguator in these article names? HandsomeFella (talk) 19:46, 4 June 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. Omni Flames (talk) 00:18, 12 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. For consistency with other articles about UK Parliament constituencies, all of which have the disambiguator. Also, there is for example no such entity as Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities - the combination only has relevance in relation to Parliamentary representation.George Burgess (talk) 21:47, 4 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK Parliament constituencies) which states "United Kingdom Parliamentary constituencies (current or defunct) should have a uniform suffix of "(UK Parliament constituency)" or "(Scottish Parliament constituency)" as appropriate, whether or not this is required for disambiguation" AusLondonder (talk) 11:47, 5 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
Oppose: as has already been noted by other users all United Kingdom parliamentary constituencies are disambiguated in a uniform manner for the sake of consistency. Ebonelm (talk) 20:55, 13 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
Support – the guideline quoted by opposers above was enacted after an RFC with low participation that was closed by an editor with a WP:COI. In that proposal, concerns about WP:AT compliance, most notably WP:PRECISION, were brought up and ignored by the supporters. A review of that guideline is necessary. For now, I cannot oppose this RM.

Support. That guideline is contra to all standard titling practice on Wikipedia and the Wikipedia:Article titles policy. Jenks24 (talk) 12:06, 20 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
