1251:. Culture, especially sport, is historic county heavy and would otherwise stick out in an article that sticks to ceremonial and should mention Sunderland A.F.C. . Governance can sort out the detached, an attached wapentake, wards, the palatinate, administrative county, non-metropolitan county and other logistical nightmares of putting a millennium of governance into an Knowledge article. I can think of the main headers; ancient (pre-&early- conquest), the height of the palatinate (wards, ancient boroughs), Victorian era, Post 1974 (the divide) and now (ceremonial counties and combined authorities). History can focus on the chronological tales of monks, kingdoms, Scottish raids and the prince bishop’s power (at its peak and at its out right loss). The County Durham article would be then free to be a summarised version of all of this. 31: 395: 95: 1026:
so that's the part. Which Yorkshire is relevant to the discussion as with Middlesbrough and Redcar. Stockton and Hartlepool are Teesside. My point is, collages have no real relevance to a county article. Unlike district articles or single articles like Durham Stockton and Crook which use collages. The county article should really only include the main populous or county town settlement. In county Durham case it's Durham, like Newcastle and Sunderland are Tyne and Wears main centres.

All looks good to me, with the caveat I don't know enough about early history of the county to determine exactly what are its significant historical events. Glad to see you retained mention of the Stockton railway and mining. Agree, evolution of county boundaries can be confusing and is better placed elsewhere. 1419:
that book, since it is merely an introduction to a much larger body of literature, we will need multiple articles to do it (eg the bishop's council appears notable and should have a separate article), we will need some kind of overview article to act as an introduction to those articles, and that overview article should be located at
1824:, which is good, but it has major issues including patchy sourcing, an apparent over-reliance on Lapsley, and excessive detail. I can accept that the current article is distinctive enough to satisfy GNG (unlike the article as it existed when I opened the move request), but these issues really do need to be fixed. 1516:. I reverted the botched split and restored the material that originally came from this article. I copied the text from the page history of this article. I could not copy from the county palatine article because there was no URL, hyperlink or list of authors in the original split (see WP:CWW). I did the same at 2063:
Thank you, it's always tricky writing a county lead but the above format seems to work in most cases. As far as I know Durham's early history is basically Roman occupation, Northumbria, St Cuthbert's wanderings, and then the Normans arriving and building the cathedral. There's a lot more besides, of

merger of 'County Palatine of Durham' into 'County Durham' and fleshing out 'History of Durham' into a full article to cover the entire history of the county. There's no reason why the latter article can't adequately cover the palatinate — we don't (and shouldn't) need to write the equivalent of 380

has its own article. Wikiproject guidelines are local consensus. As the topic of the article is primarily about law, politics and history, I don't think the geography wikiproject is the main wikiproject for this. A county palatine is not the same as an ordinary county. I agree that the article needs

No I was quoting what another editor said on the Yorkshire page and that was they aren't well formatted. The photos for county Durham are being compared to Yorkshire because Stockton crossed two borders and is in the lead photo but has a local government district in North Yorkshire and County Durham
1783:
In any event, the fact that the cathedral and battle are briefly mentioned in the palatine article does not preclude them from being discussed in the article "History of County Durham". I am not sure what you mean by a  "continuous historic narrative", but a chronology of events in the county would

The topics are clearly related, I feel. At it stands the 'County Palatine of Durham' article is essentially the history of County Durham during the history of the palatine, which would be more logially covered by the 'History of County Durham' article. The latter article can incorporate events like
1714:
For the avoidance of doubt only: The topics are not related. In particular, the county palatine is not related to the history of Durham before Cuthbert or (outside the last two courts) after 1836. It is not related to much of what happened in between. If, for example, a fire breaks out in a barn in

Using WP:SNOW to close the discussion wasn't the best idea, particularly as an involved editor with an interest in keeping 'County Palatine of Durham' as a standalone article. SNOW is for processes which have foregone conclusions, and you can see from the range of responses that that isn't the case

I've only just logged back in so was not in a position to respond until now. To quote from your edit summary: "Doesn't add anything to the lead and like the other articles of Yorkshire, it isn't well formatted and doesn't show really anything of notability." I'm not quite sure what Yorkshire has to

WP:GNG says that notability 'is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article.' In this case both the County Palatine and the History of County Durham are

As a side note, I can see that you've done a lot of work on 'County Palatine of Durham' and its related articles. It would help if you could explain your plan for them, because it seems you have a long-term vision and I'd like to understand it. It's certainly not my intention to come in and erase

I was red warned by another editor that wasn't aimed at yourself, Murgatroyd49. I just felt insulted by a claim which wasn't true. I have no disputes with the other editor in question, we just sometimes butt heads over certain photos but normally we are okay. They add collages and I question the

Given WP:GNG doesn't resolve whether a merger is appropriate or not, could you please share your vision for the set of County Palatine artices? At the moment I view the Palatine as simply an aspect of the county's history, but you clearly think it's more than that. Why does it deserve to be a
1329:
Having said that, the differences between your proposal and mine seem minimal; if we remove everything but history from 'County Palatine of Durham' then does it not just become an article on a specific part of Durham's history? At that point we may as well make it a full history article, no?
1355:
Complete merger is not desirable because there is not sufficient equivalence between the county palatine and the present county. The county palatine appears to have ceased to exist because everything that made it a county palatine (ie the palatine system of government) has been systemically
1344:
The county palatine is independently notable because it satisfies GNG in its own right. There is no chance of adequately covering the county palatine in a single article about a geographical area, or even in a single article about the history of that geographical area. Lapsley's

James, I appreciate you being bold and making improvements to the articles we're discussing, but it's polite to let the merger discussion run its course before removing the tags. Four days isn't typically long enough for that to happen, and it gives the impression you're acting

1827:
I'm quite happy to work on improving the article, so you may well see me making edits in the future. As a final note, I'll repeat what I said above about not wanting to erase your hard work. I can see you've put a lot of work into these articles and I do respect that.

Yes, the proposal is to blank and redirect 'County Palatine of Durham', splitting its content between 'County Durham' and 'History of County Durham'. I think we've made it clear where we disagree, and I respect your positition and don't want to inadvertently

You're welcome to argue that the County Palatine is notable enough for its own article. My preference would still be to treat it as part of the history of County Durham as a whole, but we really need third-party editors to help the discussion at this
1778:. (Some historians say that the purpose of the palatine system of government was to defend the border). I have not had a chance to check the existing paragraph on the Battle, but it is only a tiny fraction of the article, that can always be changed. 1284:
The county palatine was a political entity with its own army, legal system, taxes and coinage, which appears to be now abolished. It was not merely a geographical area. The counties palatine have been repeatedly described as "miniature kingdoms":

The cathedral is correctly included because it is relevant to the Bishop's palatine government. For example, and amongst many other things, Lapsley says that the building of the cathedral is evidence that the palatinate was not

Is this section not a bit over-detailed for a county article. Surely most of this should be in the relvant BA article instead, And a section on tourism should surely at least mention the major tourist destination in the county!

So I've just been unfairly accused of something, the editor hasn't responded and I'm expected to be okay with being unfairly accused by them? How does that work? Making false claims and not backing them up, ludicrous this is

The lead has gone through a couple of iterations lately (not least because of me), so I thought it would be useful to open up a discussion. To kick things off, is there consensus for keeping the current structure:
928:
An editor has taken it on himself to remove the multiple image in the infobox without explanation, then removed it again after reinstatement apparently because he doesn't like it. Perhaps this should be discussed?
1031:
absences of important landmarks or changes to lead summaries like with North Shields and Hebburn for example. But apart from that, collages are really best placed on town and city articles then county articles.
1639:
I'd like to ask again what your vision is for the various County Palatine articles, because it would help me understand your point of view. It might even persuade me that the article should be kept, who knows?
901:
Checked the BA article, which contains coverage of alll the stuff that I replaced into this article, and have now removed. I will however note that BA is hardly the major tourist destination in County Durham.

The Battle of Neville's Cross was not added by me, but the Battle is relevant, for example, and amongst other reasons, as evidence of the palatinate's responsibility for defending the border, eg
