:({{Find sources AFD|title=Great Wyrley Town}})

A poorly sourced orphan article about a ward of a village. Anything useful, and I'm not seeing it, could be merged to Great Wyrley. KJP1 (talk) 22:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delefe: as non-notable ward: or could redirect to Great Wyrley if that had a governance section describing the parish council and naming the wards for which councillors are elected, but it does 't. ••~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by PamD (talk • contribs) 23:15, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
• :I've now mentioned the parish council in Great Wyrley#Governance, with a list of the three ward names, so this and other GW wards could be redirected there.PamD 21:26, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

• Redirect to Great Wyrley, maybe a demographics header is required in that article? The statistical tables in this article relate to the district ward, not the parish ward. South Staffordshire Council produced a 2021 census ward profile [https://www.sstaffs.gov.uk/communities/great-wyrley-town-ward-data] though it doesn't include ethnicity and religion, unlike the article creator, who I assume is reproducing data from citypopulation.de [https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/westmidlands/wards/south_staffordshire/E05006997__great_wyrley_town/]. I think it needs secondary commentary on the ward for it to have notability and searches haven't revealed much. It's relevant to include demographic data in the article on Great Wyrley, but Great Wyrley as a whole is covered by this ward and part of Great Wyrley Landywood.

• Pssst! The Landywood article has existed since 2006. Uncle G (talk) 14:01, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: I don't think it's worth merging and saving anything – it would be good to have demographics on Great Wyrley, but that is a civil parish so census data will be available at the parish level, the data on this page would not be useful. I don't object to redirecting, but nor do I think it's useful – wards are just a convenience for operating elections. Judging from the Great Wyrley article, this one appears to be complicated by the fact that the same name is used for a district council and a parish council ward, which are almost certainly not for the same areas.

• As can be seen from {{plainlink|https://maps.nls.uk/view/101597117|this old map}} the "Town" suffix has its roots in the fact that there used to be a hamlet named (Lower) Landywood and a township named Great Wyrley, so "Great Wyrley Town" is the part of (modern) Great Wyrley that used to be Great Wyrley township and "Great Wyrley Landywood" is the part that used to be Landywood hamlet, implied by one of the sources in the article to be the result of 1970s local government reorganization. Hamlet and township per the Cannock Parish chapter of the White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Staffordshire mentioned in other Staffordshire AFD discussions already. And of course our article on Landywood hasn't hinted at this during its entire history going back to 2006. Who reads history books when there's some Staffordshire County Council WWW site and an advertisement by a construction company to be used‽ So this is the same subject as Great Wyrley, pretty much; and at best a {{tl|R from alternative name}}.
