Name of this article
would it be better to name this article "Wood End, North Warwickshire"? as Atherstone is more than 5 miles away and the village is technically closer to the centre of Tamworth than Atherstone MARK BEGG (talk) 15:00, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- What about Wood End, Warwickshire (near Coventry) which should also be considered in this renaming as it is not currently named to the usual convention. Keith D (talk) 23:06, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Wood End, Atherstone → Wood End, Kingsbury, Warwickshire – This is currently disambiguated to post town, which should never be done according to WP:NCGN#United Kingdom. There's another Wood End in North Warwickshire, so the district isn't sufficient, but the civil parish (Kingsbury, Warwickshire) is. Peter James (talk) 19:11, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Wood End, Kingsbury, Warwickshire → Wood End, Atherstone – Although Wikipedia does correctly state not to use postal towns Wood End is widely known as Wood End, Atherstone or Wood End (Atherstone) by locals and in the local press so I think it would be best to follow on with that, examples.

- WP:UKPLACE is unusually clear in saying "Disambiguation should never be to post town, former postal county or postcode district." It stands to reason, though, that commonsense exceptions could be made, especially to accommodate the WP:COMMONNAME of a place. Perhaps the language at UK place needs to be softened? --BDD (talk) 17:34, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- BDD, although it says it should never use it, the current title already use one: Kingsbury --Rushton2010 (talk) 02:59, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
