OK - i will use the legal name only until the issue becomes more clear - excellent work on these pages by the way Dn9ahx (talk) 11:16, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposal[edit]

I propose merging the existing Sheffield City Region article into this one. I am not sure whether that article passes WP:Notability and most of it's sources seem to be government or marketing websites with only one third party source, a local sheffield newspaper, mentioning the city region and there is quite a bit of ambiguity whether it refers to this combined authority or the city region.

The two regions are different - Derbyshire dales is in Sheffield City Region and therefore included in some ERDF funding; The Sheffield City Region Combined Authority does not include Derbyshire Dales. --Andrewfstratton (talk) 08:18, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you are incorrect, looking at both the Combined Authority article and their website, The Derbyshire Dales are part of both. Eopsid (talk) 18:54, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Derbyshire Dales and the other Derbyshire districts are "non-constituent members" - HIGHFIELDS (TALK • UPLOADS) 08:01, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should probably merge the two, the article makes it very unclear how they differ. Maswimelleu (talk) 11:54, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree they should be merged. The combined authority appears to have effectively superseded the wider city region. The differences between the 2 can be easily explained within a single article. - HIGHFIELDS (TALK • UPLOADS) 08:01, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming[edit]

The Sheffield City Region name remains in place until the May 2022 elections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.123.90 (talk) 08:17, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
