Talk:Blantyre, South Lanarkshire

message: I think that this content should be at Blantyre, Scotland.  Blantyre, Malawi is the larger city by a factor of 50 and has roughly the similar number of links to it.  This page should be a disambiguation page, linking to both cities and to possible future pages on the district of Malawi (a first-level administrative division) and to Blantyre in Transylvania County, North Carolina.
* Support This is reasonable. However the move should be to Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, not to Blantyre, Scotland. -- Derek Ross |  Talk 16:19, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
:Agreed.  I'm changing the entry on requested moves to Blantyre, South Lanarkshire. -- Satyadasa 07:00, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Journalist and philanthropist - anyone able to verify that - I've never heard of him, but a Google search reveals an amateur boxer from Blantyre with the same name???
BTW the Old Parish Church may be correct Ianguy 12:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: It sounds like Mandala is used as a substitute name to refer to Blantyre in Malawi today. In daily usage, Mandala is used to refer to a small part of Blantyre. Mandala comes from "The one wearing glasses/spectacles". The term was used to refer to the Moir brothers that had a trading store. One of them wore spectacles. The area around their store is called Mandala today. See: Society of Malawi I don't have a good source / citation but i'll try and find one    Sand13w (talk) 19:44, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

message: I'm adding the 'for other uses' box at the top as Blantyre is also the name of a major city in Malawi, among other things. Coldspur (talk) 09:08, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Add it if you want, but the Malawian city is already specifically linked in the lead, and since it is designated the primary topic for Blantyre, while readers have to specifically type in "Blantyre, South Lanarkshire" or similar (eg "Blantyre, Scotland") to come to this page, there seems little need.
