message: Hi, Dan. Thanks for your suggested edit of the Hammersmith & West London College additions under your heading of “recentism”. I understand and accept your point about the overall balance of the relevant section. What I would request in your proposed edit, however, is that a clear reference is made to the college’s plan to demolish the existing Hammersmith campus as part of their proposals. In your proposed edit this is not made entirely clear ie “redevelop” could be misconstrued as repurposing the existing structure, which is not what the college authorities intend. Given that in the preceding paragraphs of the story we are taking about the architectural merit of the existing structure that is an important point. Kind regards, Antonia  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aljie013 (talk • contribs) 13:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure using the the template below will work for me as I am not sure what to write where.  Can I try making my request as follows and please let me know if it makes sense or not?
Please move the page name Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College so that it is renamed/moved to become West London College.
The URL for this page is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealing,_Hammersmith_and_West_London_College
Please move the page of West London College to become West London College (1977). The current URL for this page is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_London_College
The rationale for the proposed change is:
1. About two years ago Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College changed its name to West London College, so renaming the Wikipedia page to West London College brings it into line with the college's current name.
2. Currently google is mixing up the Wikipedia and map details of the former West London College with the current West London College (www.wlc.ac.uk formerly Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College) when someone enters West London College as a search term into Google. This is confusing to former students of the old West London College who contact us with queries such as copies of exam certificates.
3. Moving/renaming West London College to West London College (1977) will differentiate it from the currently operational West London College and this may sort out the confusion that is happening with Google.
Many thanks

text: *West London College is a current public institution and dates back to the 19th century. The other is a short lived independent one, and the article only has three references. Frankly, there is very little information about the latter institution and it's because it lacks notability by comparison. --Jf81 (talk) 18:16, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
