Delete as abolished in 1974. We only keep historical categories for media related to the history of such places and in 2019 the term is meaningless as a division of local government. All settlements within it are now within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:42, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Keep Per discussion at User talk:Skinsmoke#Wirral Urban District this is only titled this was because of the Wirral Peninsula and Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. Otherwise it would be titled just "Wirral" similar to the fact that the category for the former unparished w:Municipal Borough of Buxton is Buxton. See Category:Unparished areas in England.

@Rodhullandemu and Crouch, Swale: Any further comments on this, or can we close and keep? Josh (talk) 22:24, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- I don't see a consensus either way yet. Rodhullandemu (talk) 22:32, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- My point still stands that this is essentially for the unparished area of which was formed from the urban district. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:53, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

- @Rodhullandemu: would Category:Wirral (unparished area) work for you? Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:47, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- If there is only the one unparished area and it is contiguous, fine, otherwise I foresee confusion. Rodhullandemu (talk) 14:18, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- It isn't, see w:Civil parishes in Merseyside#List of civil parishes and unparished areas maybe we should move it to Category:Heswall (unparished area) or just merge it with Category:Heswall? like it was before. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:20, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
- I really don't think we need to confuse things. I see no problem for a typical user going to Category:Heswall and finding it's the unparished area as well as the town they know. That might offend a few pedants, but fortunately, they are in a minority. Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:32, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

- I would also note that its normal to have categories for former units such as Category:Cumberland and Category:Worksop Rural District but the latter is only used for images of it, not places it formerly contained. Given that the unparished area is the same as the former UD we should probably keep it for both since any maps of the former UD correspond to the current unparished area. If the boundaries change because of a parish being created then we may need to reconsider. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
