This article contains content that is duplicated in the Manchester page. I think there is a good case for merging the two and redirecting this one Manchester City Centre to the Manchester page which is more developed. What do people think? Bornslippy 12:57, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I agree. PJBeef 16:01 28 December 2004 (UTC)

I also agree. Some of the content is already duplicated, or can be moved into existing sections on the Manchester page. Perhaps any remaining information could be added as a new 'Manchester City Centre' sub-section on the Manchester page. --David Edgar 08:23, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I disagree. Some of the information here is too much for the main Manchester page. The City Centre is an official district of Manchester - it unusually appears as a named location on OS maps as "City Centre". There should be some information about this area on the main Manchester page, but then the detailed stuff should be kept here in the seperate City Centre article.

I think there's been quite a lot of additions to Manchester since I last commented, and it probably is sensible to keep this page now.

Manchester#Political Divisions provides a list of all the wards in the city - the City Centre ward, I believe, being the official district you refer to. Can we establish that this page should be limited to the geographical area of the ward? --David Edgar 10:25, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that despite the duplicated content, it is necessary to allow Manchester City Centre a distinct page, as it is a seperate political and administrative entity. Likewise, it is also important that the page on 'Manchester' detail all of the relavent information on the conurbation of Manchester. Manchester as a city has grown well beyond it's administrative boundaries, and this is reflected in the attitudes of

1. Foreign and National impressions of 'Manchester' 2. National Press 3. The office of national statistics 4. Manchester institutions and companies The fact that the administrative boundaries of Manchester enclose only a portion of the living city is becoming as irrelevant as the fact that it is the same for the cities of London and indeed Westminster.

Come on guys - get some more photos of Manchester uploaded and added to this page and the Manchester main article. David 15:33, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like advertisements to the City Centre. Skinnyweed 22:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
