Merge with Non notable councillors without ward articles[edit]

The article Sue Murphy (politician) should be merged with Manchester City Council as the article asserts no independent notability for her apart from her membership of that body. I would normally suggest Brooklands, Manchester but there is no page for her ward at present. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abid Chohan. JASpencer 09:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also added Susan Cooley who also represents Brooklands. JASpencer 17:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Basil Curley has been added as there seems to be no entry for the Charlestown, Manchester ward. JASpencer 17:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Added Mark Hackett (politician) from Charlestown. JASpencer 17:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Glynn Evans from Brooklands now added to merge. JASpencer 17:51, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Eric Hobin from Charlestown added. JASpencer 17:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is it not better to move the articles about these prople to the missing ward articles and and add information about each ward? This would beter protect the page histories, stop this page becomming a long list on non-notable people and would actually help make the encyclopedia. Infact I have convinced myself and that's what I'm about to do. Andreww 18:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done - two new stubs to be expanded, 6 NN politico's no longer need worry us. (I hope this all worked ok, I'm now seeing server errors. Hoping those DB transactions work like they should). Andreww 19:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tories[edit]

Should there be some mention of the lack of conservatives on the council, ie how long manchester has been tory-less Joevsimp 09:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accusation of POV of Equal opps claim[edit]

Sorry but I have reinstated a section removed by 188.221.105.68. During the late 1980s and early 1990s Manchester CC led the way in developing Equal opps policy (several Wiki pages are under construction on this history right now). Some of this work was NOT a legal requirement at that time, quite the contrary: the council faced possible prosecution for some of the work it was doing in this area - particularly under Section 28. This is not POV but fact! Maybe it needs rewording or improving, I'll take a look at that now, anyone is welcome to change this of course, but it should not be deleted completely as it is a matter of historical record.

I'm going to try to incorporate these into the article but not like that. You can't refer to these rather controversial events as "achievments" because it appears to endorse them. --188.221.105.68 (talk) 23:45, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK fair enough 188.221.105.68, I can tell that you have a view about this material (IMHO, your comments about what I'd written could equally be described as a view), but if you are going to remove something which other editors have written/approved, then please do go ahead and incorporate your version of this work in the main body of the article. It is not generally acceptable to simply remove something (which has been perfectly well accepted until now) with the promise that you are going to re-incorporate it and then NOT do that. I would respectfully suggest you put it back until you have come up with better wording, or I or other editors may wish to suggest alternate wording for the ground-breaking and notable work done around Section 28 by Manchester City Council. I do trust that your re-write is not politically motivated itself and that you are not being homophobic in removing this because the work done at that period was not simply a "controversial event". I know that a self-standing article on this period is under development for Wikipedia and that may be the most appropriate way of tackling it, but for sure it would need to to be wiki-linked to this page, so we may as well find some way of dealing with this in a non-partisan way that meets with Wiki guidelines.

Pardon? Look again. I DID incorporate it, about five mins after I took it out of its original place. --188.221.105.68 (talk) 22:49, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks - sorry, must have been looking at an unrefreshed version! I apologise and appreciate your work.Mapmark (talk) 10:36, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
