Talk:Market Deeping

message: Market Deeping is represented here as a village. However, as a resident, I have always considered it a small town - it certainly has a town council. Is there some style guide definition that makes it a village in Wikipedia terms, or is it ok to correct this?

replies: text: If it has a town council then it is correct to call it a town — I'm sure some Wiki policy wonk will quote the appropriate guidance but, failing that, common sense dictates that if a unit of local government is brave enough to describe a place as a town then it probably is not a village.

replies: text: Thanks for reassurance. Since posting I have looked on various local sites, and also local government, and they seem unanimous. I'll make the change. ChrisMalme (talk) 23:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Town or Village?

message: I would respectively like the England flag (St George's Cross) on this page to be changed to the union flag, as the country in which Market Deeping is located is in fact The United Kingdom and, contrary to popular belief, is not England.

thread_title: Change of flag

message: I would like to start a debate regarding the use of a new template on various UK settlement pages, to include British towns as well as a union flag, in the hope that it will increase public awareness of the difference between England and Britain. In order to do this a concensus is necessary and I would therefore appreciate any possible support. --Ash online 17:03, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New Table

message: Market Deeping is situated in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. This, and all settlements should be displayed with the country in which it is situated , not the home state. Calling areas within the province of Scotland, the home state of England or the principality of Wales, and trying to portray it as their countries is incorrect. They are situated in the country of the United Kingdom. razza 18:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: United Kingdom

message: Further to my earlier change, I have also been trying to verify the passage beginning "Market Deeping is home to The Deeping Massive...". As a amateur musician living in the town for the last 5 years, I have never heard of "The Deeping Massive" or "The Electric Welland". A search for these names produces only Bebo and Myspace pages from 2006, which coincidentally is when this passage was added. The pages suggest that at most they were school bands, and that the entries were made as a joke.
Gheorghe Zamfir does exist, but I question whether breaking down on the way to a concert, and giving an impromtu performance is a notable event in the town's history, if indeed it did happen (I can find no evidence of it).
"Burning Reason" is a real band, although their web pages identify them as Peterborough based, rather than from Market Deeping. However, I can find no evidence that they ever topped the charts.
As such, I am dubious about the facts as stated and - even if true - whether they are notable.
Is there strong enough a case to delete the passage involved, or am I out of line? Advice welcome, as I am new to Wiki editing.
