I am considering merging this page with the page entitled "Salford" as I think the existence of the two pages is confusing and a combined page under the heading Salford that explains the difference between the metropolitan borough and districts within would be more appropriate. My intention is then to expand the page with further information similiar to that for Manchester (old rivalries between the twin cities never dies!) which has a single page. Any observations?
- That sounds like a smart idea. I am not familiar with the place, and was confused with the Salford article starting "Salford ... is a city in". Yet this article is titled "City of Salford". So, it's all pretty confusing to anybody who's not familiar with the place. --rob 23:49, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

- I disagree. There is a difference - the City of Salford is a metropolitan borough with City status, while Salford is a town within that metropolitan borough. Therefore please do not merge!! David 21:08, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
David, please note that there is no "town" called Salford. I don't know how familiar you are with Salford but it became a city in 1926 and that is when the "town" ceased to exist.
Salford is comprised of 5 districts not 7- Swinton and Pendlebury is one district as is Irlam and Cadishead.
- merge - There is a difference, and it can be thoroughly covered on one page. Hughcharlesparker 23:38:40, 2005-09-01 (UTC)
- keep seperate - The articles deal with two different areas, but with similar names.... a simillar confusion exists with the town of Oldham and the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham... and again with the town of Rochdale and the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale. Whilst these areas may sound simillar, they actually deal with very different (wider/smaller) areas and have seperate legal status. Jhamez84 17:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

- Quite right - the borough of Salford extends way out into the Lancashire countryside! Therefore - keep seperate! David 14:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
No it doesn't!!! Lancashire is Lancashire, Salford is Salford. Salford is not in Lancashire!
- Yes it is. David 21:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
