Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

Policies for pages on the Counties of England:

Traditional vs Administrative (finalised) edit

August 2005 - Please note that this decision is now under discussion again and may go to a fresh vote. You may wish to review the Talk page, contribute to the discussion, and take part in any voting.
