Naming

I presume that this article was named Talacre Lighthouse as the Point of Ayr Lighthouse redirect was already in place...Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:18, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Talacre Lighthouse → Point of Ayr Lighthouse – The correct title is currently a redirect to the headland article Point of Ayr. Point of Ayr Lighthouse is used in the Listed building summary and there are numerous results in Lighthouses of Wales: Their Architecture and Archaeology Jokulhlaup (talk) 15:10, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The proposed new name is used in most of the cited sources. Tevildo (talk) 19:25, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
