  Oppose Goes against the convention in Category:Birmingham, West Midlands. That name was chosen in this CFD. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 07:57, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's entirely my point, Birmingham wasn't in the West Midlands before 1974. Sionk (talk) 08:15, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As you disagree with the consensus that was reached in a CFD discussion (or the application of that consensus to other cases), you may re-nominate the categories for a full discussion, but you can't use the Speedy process. – Fayenatic London 07:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strange that the rename took place on the suggestion of one editor only. But I'll withdraw the request and raise it for full discussion for the pre-20th century categories only. Sionk (talk) 03:59, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
