The result of the debate was no move. -- Kjkolb 10:03, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whitworth Gardens → Sackville Gardens – It has been known as Sackville Gardens since it was refurbished in 2005.

Discussion[edit]

Add any additional comments

Comment. The city page still uses "Whitworth Gardens". I see no source for the name change, nothing to indicate it's this way on maps, etc. Is it the park or the gardens that were renamed? (There are stadiums and "fields" that have different names but are the same facility, is this what happened?) --Dhartung | Talk 02:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment seems sensible if there has been an official (re-)naming, but I haven't seen any evidence of this yet - any offers? Aquilina 22:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If it was known as Whitworth Gardens for the last 100+ years, might that not be its most common usage both in any literature and in speech? —Centrx→talk • 08:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please rename this, it has been officially called Sackville Gardens for 10 years now, the council acknowledges this at their page http://www.manchester.gov.uk/directory_record/89292/sackville_gardens/category/301/all_parks_playgrounds_and_open_spaces

Oh come on! WHY is this page still under the wrong name? Clearly the people who refuse to change it have never actually been to the gardens? The gate to the gardens actually has "Sackville Gardens" written on it in metal lettering, and there is a huge official sign welcoming people to "Sackville Gardens" also. Refusing to change it to its current name is just being stubborn. Should we change the page for Sri Lanka back to Ceylon while we're at it?

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Images[edit]

This was way more images than an article like this needs. I pared it down to: best of three panoramas (shows park layout, others show a gate and a building); good 3/4 view of statue; close-up of plaque; and beacon. The rest can go in a gallery, where they at least won't interfere with reading the article. The present spacing of the photographs still looks good when I resize my browser as if on a smaller screen. --Dhartung | Talk 03:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there was one caption and an edit summary that referred to Turing's codes, but without any in-article explanation. If that's relevant (the text is on the memorial?) say so and explain. --Dhartung | Talk 03:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Turing's codes? Of course THEy wouldn't be relevant to anything. They were, in fact, the German's codes... and the fact that Turing helped crack them is... well... who cares? Too much information, like too many pictures, is a BAD thing... plus.. making people THINK possibly??? Vote a big NO to anything like that

Article name[edit]

I reverted User:Info-is-bad's attempt at moving the page to Sackville Street Gardens. Mostly because it wasn't properly moved, but also because it appears to be against consensus. Is the consensus still that this is where it belongs? --Alynna 00:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a note, it does appear that the Manchester City Council site calls it Sackville Street Gardens now. Whether or not that's the most important thing is another question. --Alynna 00:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The council signs now read "Sackville Gardens", and as such the name of this article surely needs to adopt that CURRENT name. Whitworth Gardens should now be seen as a former name. Hardylane 23:32, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! This should have been renamed a very long time ago! All sorted now –– ljhenshall ^{(talk page)} 01:03, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
