Talk:Loughton incinerator thefts

Location

I have altered the article to show the robbery took place in Loughton and not "Debden" - all supporting links inc. court material confirms "Loughton" as the location.Spymo (talk) 15:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Not that I particularly disagree with you (I was intending to name this article "Loughton incinerator thefts", after all), but which supporting links and court material are you using? The Independent, the BBC and New Scientist all list the plant as being in Debden. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 18:35, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, this article should be re-published under "Loughton incinerator thefts". No Wikipedian has been able to supply links confirming "Debden" as an official area - all available evidence points to the name "Debden" being a name used by local people for an undefinable area of Loughton. Obviously, that doesn't make the area a legitimate area and therefore doesn't fall inline with Wiki guidelines. With that in mind I have edited the article to show that the name "Debden incinerator thefts" is what these crimes are referred to locally. To answer your question, I was referring to the official court links, which are attached to this article and give a transcript of what was send in court.

I would add that the first two linked article from The Independent newspaper get the location totally wrong, and say: "Debden plant, near Saffron Walden,". The third Independent newspaper article from 1994 makes no mention of "Debden" and clearly states the crimes took place in "Loughton, Essex."Spymo (talk) 10:10, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Oh, so your argument is that Debden doesn't even really exist? Hmm... Well, I would contest that personally, and, per WP:PRECISION, I would prefer to see the article remain in its current title. But this isn't a subject about which I feel amazingly strongly, so I have moved it to the title you suggested. Happy editing, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:04, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
