Why isn't this a category? Andy Mabbett 00:18, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Suburbs

Does this list also include suburbs of cities within the West Midlands county? - Erebus555 17:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't see why it should not. A place is a place regardless of whether it's a town, village, hamlet, suburb, exburb, district, neighbourhood, estate, etc. Saga City 01:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

Should this list be moved to "List of places in the West Midlands (county)" in order to disambiguate the title? While the introductory paragraph makes it clear that it refers to the county not the region, the title is open to both interpretations. TheGrappler (talk) 17:09, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree - but drop the 'the' - i.e. List of places in West Midlands (county) S a g a C i t y (talk) 17:16, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, "the West Midlands" sounds more like it's referring to the region. An excellent point. TheGrappler (talk) 18:28, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
