Mtaylor848 requested that this category be moved to Category:Briggate for the reason "By far the most significant, all other sub categories so called". However, the reverse move was just performed in December 2018 by Delinker. I believe the current name is better and I contest the statement about the subcategories; nearly all of them use "Briggate, Leeds". BMacZero (talk) 16:56, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

- I have no preference whatsoever as to which Briggate is the "most significant" one. There are various ways of judging that, and which is the correct one? For example, based on the importance for road transportation, one could also argue that Briggate in Shipley as part of the A657 trunk road is more significant. The one in Leeds is more important for the retail trade, on the other hand. IMHO the mere fact that there are other streets with the same name requires the addition of the place name. With my renaming request I was merely following what I perceived to be the custom on Commons, and hoped to free up Category:Briggate for a conversion into a disambiguation category. --Schlosser67 (talk) 18:05, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Comment I have converted Category:Briggate into a DAB page, although the Leeds street is currently the only article on WP, we have 4. I will look at moving the WP article in a few days but that doesn't mean this needs moving since primary topics on Commons have a higher threshold. Note that just because most others are disambiguated doesn't mean this one needs disambiguting though per w:Wikipedia:Consistency in article titles#Don't add unnecessary disambiguators simply for consistency however it looks like this one does require disambiguation. There also seems to be Briggates in Ilkley, Brighouse, Keightley, Belfast and Elland. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:37, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
