message: I think the article should stay at Torbay, because it gathers a lot more interest than the one in Canada. Jolly Ω Janner 16:24, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: there's sufficient contrast in size and importance between the two towns that the move should have been put to the wikiproject first. Totnesmartin (talk) 19:56, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed move to Torbay, England 

message: The borough is Torbay (one word), but the marine inlet itself is Tor Bay (two words) - on which we have no article.  Book sources here, here, here, here, here, here, etc.  Assuming we agree this, we should distinguish between the two in the text more clearly than we do now - and someone should write an article on the marine inlet.

replies: text: I tend to agree, but it would be good to hear what others think. Is "marine inlet" the right term, though - isn't it just a bay? —SMALLJIM  13:08, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but I was trying to make it clear what I meant!  "Bay" can be taken to mean the land surrounding the bay, rather than the patch of sea itself.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:19, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Point taken, though you could have said "a sea-filled c-shape formed by the sea's erosion of the land between two headlands made of more resistant rock" ;)  Seriously though, it's shown as two words on OS maps too, so I'm now convinced that this is a valid topic - do you want to start it, or shall I?  —SMALLJIM  00:41, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm more than happy for you to start it - I'm quite occupied with off-wiki stuff at the moment.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:59, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've made a start: Tor Bay. Have tried to restrict it to details about the bay itself to avoid covering stuff properly dealt with elsewhere.  —SMALLJIM  15:43, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

message: The links in the 'Settlements' section need some attention - 'Maidencombe' takes you to the 'Torquay' page, 'Blagdon' to the Blaydon in Somerset, and 'Yalberton' back to this page. Mdrb55 (talk) 21:37, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I've updated the list to only include places with separate articles.  More can be added if the articles are ever written.   Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:40, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
