Not sure I should open a formal

*Treker: pinging AfD participants. If no objection I'll move in a couple of days, since the title is slightly misleading as is. YorkshireLad  ✿  ^(talk) 10:05, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply

Hi @YorkshireLad: Not only have I no objection to moving this, I'd say that must be done to resolve the incongruity between the title and the contents, as well as to reflect (what I interpret to be) the AfD consensus. For the same reasons, I also don't think a formal move discussion is needed. Go ahead, and thanks for putting this to bed. :) Cheers, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:20, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thanks both. Agreed that it needs to be done sooner rather than later. Will move now, but no objection to a formal

@YorkshireLad: I fully support the move. Dunarc (talk) 20:26, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I fully support the re-title (and yes, we agreed to as part of the AFD), but had thought "Northern England Devolution" as perhaps a bit simpler?Deathlibrarian (talk) 12:17, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Northern England Devolution and Northern England devolution are different (non-)pages.) "Northern England devolution" is better, but still implies its a phrase in common use to me (and also potentially is ambiguous, to a reader who doesn't know the background: does it mean devolution to to the North of England, or devolution from it to the local councils, say?).

This was just to explain my logic, however; I would not object to a move to Northern England devolution (lowercase D) if it's generally thought better: it is, as you say, simpler and more concise. YorkshireLad  ✿  ^(talk) 19:55, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply
