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]

I had a good look through and I could see. So! I removed eevrything which sounded like an advert and in some cases, replaced it with a neutral sentence. - Erebus555 20:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, anyone fancy building a series on Manchester city centre? I think it could be really good for people new to the city and those who already live here to discover how great this place is. I work in the city centre so am planning to spend a bit of time taking pics of areas. I don't know how to make one of those "series" boxes, so could someone help? I think that following the rather good city centre divisions on the tourist map the council gives out would help, so here they are;

1. Manchester Arndale and Market Street 2. Deansgate, King Street and St Anns square 3. Peter's fields 4. Chinatown 5. Exhange square and new cathedral street 6. Northern Quarter 7. Piccadilly 8. Castlefield 9. The gay village 10. Spinningfields

I also propose the addition to this of Oxford Road/Manchester University.

These 11 areas would cover the city centre. Salford would have its own page, maybe with a link in the series box.

Can anyone help? I don't know how to change the template. --Totalthinker 22:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, I'm not sure what template you're talking about changing, but you can make a template by setting one up at Template:Whatever, making a table on that page, and then adding {{Whatever}} to this page. If you're confident enough to do this yourself, help is at Help:Template or Help:Table - otherwise you could always use a table that exists, copy its edit mode text and then paste and edit it on the new template's page.

There are already several articles on the places you mention, such as Northern Quarter, Piccadilly Gardens, Market Street (Manchester, England), Manchester Arndale, Canal Street (Manchester), Castlefield, Exchange Square (Manchester); but not on others, notably: Chinatown and St. Ann's Square - though I'm slightly dubious about making pages on areas that are just used in marketing literature (I've barely heard of Spinningfields but am dubious of Peter's fields - though I'm ahppy to be proved wrong). In any case, it would be easy to at least create a list on this page (if you're not comfortable enough to make a table/template) - however, most are there already, so a template sounds like a good addition. Overall, great to see some enthusiasm for this page - and your photos would be most welcome :-) Cheers. Cormaggio ^@ 08:16, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
