[edit]  ? separate Radstock & Midsomer Norton

It has been suggested to me that this article should be split into 2 seperate ones for Midsomer Norton & Radstock - as they do have seperate identities (even though growing ever closer together) & it is only because of local authority boundaries that they are joined together. Any Thoughts?— Rod ^talk 09:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm the person who suggested this on Rod's talk page. Most places, even quite tiny places, have their own article, and Midsomer Norton and Radstock are separate though adjoining places, and not tiny. Norton Radstock deserves an entry as a local government entity, but the two towns have their own names and should have their own articles. Clandown has a separate article and that's both smaller and, arguably, less a distinct place. Johnlp 21:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

It is rediculous to combine Norton and Radstock. Writhlington (quite rightly) has its own entry and that is somewhat more 'physically merged' with Radstock than Norton is (for the record I am certainly not advocating merging Writhlington with 'Norton Radstock' :) Bobgateaux (talk) 19:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

OK 3 comments in favour of splitting & non against in 14 months so I have been bold & split the towns of Radstock & Midsomer Norton out into separate articles. They all still need a bit of tidying up but I hope this is what was intended.— Rod ^talk 20:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
