Talk:The Shambles

message: The Shambles (York) → The Shambles – The disambiguation lists only this popular tourist attraction and a relatively obscure Australian community television programme. --Rose Palmer 10:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  I cannot move this page to The Shambles, so I've made this application on Wikipedia:Requested moves.  I did plan to move it without administrator help, and I don't fully understand why it didn't work. --Rose Palmer 17:08, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The merge is very easy to do.  As long as there are no negative here, I think we can withdraw the move request and go ahead with the merge.  Where do you think the article should be?  At Shambles or The Shambles? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 19:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  "The Shambles" is the correct name.  Merging would not be ideal. It should be easy enough for an administrator to remove the redundant redirect from The Shambles and move this article there. Rose Palmer 02:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

*Support  Agree that disambiguation should be done by a hatnote, not a disambig page, as there are only 2 articles.  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:41, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Consider instead moving to Shambles and merging with the brief streetname and etymology article there. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:41, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Since Shambles is used by the Yellow Pages and Streetmap.co.uk, I think Shambles should be a redirect to The Shambles.  There is currently only a dictionary definiton at Shambles, that can easily be merged here because it is highly relevant to The Shambles street.   What do you think? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The correct name for the street is Shambles (not The Shambles, although it is commonly referred to as this). I think a previous edit of the page made this point but it seems to have got lost.--Vince 01:51, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I have added the offical name as Shambles and added a couple of other places that have Shambles or The Shambles as street names. A good place to check these is the UK Post Office website --Vince 13:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
