Talk:Forgotten Corner of Cornwall

message: Is there any evidence that this is an official name? I'm Cornish and I've never heard it. If it's not then it shouldn't be used as the title of an article. It sounds to me like a tourist brochure title. -- Necrothesp 12:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: It has been a well used name by residents of this area since the 1960s. It is used on many postcards of the area, and is undergoing a higher profile locally, as tourist sites like Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Newquay and as well as EC investment takes money away from this part of Cornwall.
With regard to the name, it is no more or less 'official' than Rame peninsula, Penwith peninsula or the 'golden triangle' of Falmouth, Truro and Newquay. The phrase 'golden triangle' in Cornwall is increasingly used in the local press, but does it make it official or not?
With regard to you not having heard of it - that proves the point that the area is 'forgotten'! Most residents of Cornwall, particularly from the north, mid and west of the Cornwall have not discovered it yet. It is more well known amongst residents of Plymouth than it is of residents of Cornwall.

replies: text: I don't mean I haven't heard of the area. I know it well. I grew up in a village between Launceston and Liskeard and went to school in Plymouth. But I'd call the area you seem to be referring to the Rame Peninsula. You say "Forgotten Corner of Cornwall" is no more or less official, but that's untrue: Rame Peninsula is a proper name, Forgotten Cornwall of Cornwall is an unofficial tag. And the Rame Peninsula already has an article, which this one seems to be duplicating. As I said, to me this sounds like a tagline from a tourist brochure, which is what I suspect it actually is. I think the info here should be merged into Rame Peninsula - there's no point in having two articles on what seems to be the same area. After all, we wouldn't call an article about Kent "Garden of England" - we'd give it its proper name and create a redirect (as has actually been done). -- Necrothesp 17:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure what's forgotten about Seaton and Downderry - they're thriving tourist areas. I've been there many times and they're always packed in season! I have to say that I still don't think this is an appropriate title for an article because it's not an official geographical area - just because it makes for a good tagline for a book or article doesn't make it worthy of a Wikipedia article. I wouldn't say "I'm going down to the Forgotten Corner for a few days", and I doubt many other people would either. -- Necrothesp 18:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The web site on the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, http://www.cornwall-aonb.gov.uk, has no reference to Forgotten Corner of Cornwall that I could find. See  for a map of the patches of land that are officially in the AONB.  I suggest that the sentence identifying the Forgotten Corner itself as an AONB be removed.
