== Title of the Article == 

 I moved the article from "Armidale Dumaresq Shire" to "Armidale Dumaresq Council" as this is the name of the LGA as proclaimed by the Governor of NSW in 2000 following the merger of Armidale City Council with Dumaresq Shire Council. Calling the LGA a 'shire' makes no more sense than calling it a 'city' or a 'municipality' as neither the Council nor the NSW Government refers to Armidale Dumaresq as a shire anymore. 

 Bidgee has moved it back to "shire". 

 I would compromise and agree to calling the article "Armidale Dumaresq".
