Change name to 2019 Northern England floods?

The area affected was only very small Derbyshire and Yorkshire and UK floods is a very vague term and could cause confusion, Would it not be more reasonable to name the page - 2019 Northern England floods or - 2019 Yorkshire floods — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.192.227 (talk) 19:51, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2019 North of England floods would probably be better as it's not just Yorkshire that's been affected. This is Paul (talk) 22:28, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 30 November 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: page moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:35, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2019 Yorkshire floods → 2019 England floods – The current title is potentially confusing as the topic it discusses affected a much wider area of England than Yorkshire alone. This information is also reflected in the article, where floods in the East Midlands, South East England and South West England are also discussed at length. The page was previously moved from 2019 Yorkshire floods to 2019 England floods on 14 November, with a similar reasoning that other parts of England has been affected. But this was reverted without discussion, and with no reason given for the move, on 24 November (see move log for the page). This is Paul (talk) 18:33, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support

Support the article clearly deals with more than just Yorkshire. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:08, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support this article started as 2019 United Kingdom floods using 2016 United Kingdom floods as a template. The floods affected more than Yorkshire. Bogger (talk) 22:06, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

North Staffordshire flooding

There was flooding in north Staffordshire (and Cheshire) at the end of October, with rail disruptions. Should this be included in the sequence?

Chertsey tornado

This article is about floods. Does information on the Chertsey tornado belong here? 81.131.132.129 (talk) 14:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Meh. It could be removed. It could also stay. The article is really about weather damage, not just floods. Pikavoom (talk) 07:27, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
