Keep Deleted. Occurrences as seen in “UK towns and cities”[1] are simply attributive uses of the proper noun.  --Lambiam 18:38, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I agree with Lambiam; DanTrent may have been unaware of RFD procedure. DonnanZ (talk) 23:25, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Keep deleted per above. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 13:50, 3 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Remains deleted. Plainly a case of not grasping or maintaining the distinction between adjectives and attributive nouns; cf the recent RFV discussion of "smoke" in "smoke particles". - -sche (discuss) 21:32, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
