Coverage[edit]

Where do our definitions of the coverage of each sub-district come from? They seem rather limited. WC1E isn't just University College London buildings; WC1H isn't just St. Pancras (but it does cover some of UCL); and the term "Bloomsbury" can be applied to almost the whole of WC1, not just WC1B.

The result was following centralised discussion, WP:UKPOSTAL was adopted, merge into WC postcode area. -- MRSC (talk) 04:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging London WC1 into this article. The postcode area is the smallest in the country in terms of districts, only two. The information can easily be accommodated in this article and a redirect created. It will reduce duplication and allow this article to grow. MRSC (talk) 11:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Merging the content of this article would overwhelm the WC postcode area article. No need for a merger in this case. Jeni ^(talk) 11:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: - Rather than have sparse discussions on these articles spread across Wikipedia, I have suggested centralised discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography#Input requested: SE postcode area Jeni ^(talk) 12:08, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirecting to a centralised discussion, that encourages avoidance of a "one size fits all" policy is counter-intuitive and disrupts the individual merge discussions. MRSC (talk) 12:15, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge centralising individual post code stubs creates a substantional article; and avoids duplication of basic information about post codes. Post codes are merely a comment on the organisation of postal delivery, they contain no substantive information about the administration of districts - nor should they - since it is an unrelated subject.

Defer until a common guideline has been agreed for UK postcode districts articles either all to be merged into sections within the articles about their postcode area, or all to be kept (and named consistently). — Richardguk (talk) 15:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
