Talk:Denny, Falkirk

Article Name

Just wondering if this articled should be re-named to something like 'Denny (Town)' or even just 'Denny'. Denny is not really in Falkirk. Its in Falkirk District Council's area however the county is Stirlingshire. I'll leave it a few days for thoughts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohmygoditssteve (talk • contribs) 20:22, 3 January 2007

Would not "Denny, Stirlingshire" be more appropriate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.40 (talk • contribs) 12 April 2007

No, I don't think so. The article itself explains which county Denny is in. If you look at any article about a town it is just the town name and not the county. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.174.7.252 (talk • contribs) 25 June 2007

Isnt it Herbertshire? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.240.16.50 (talk) 23:39, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Population of Denny

In the first paragraph it is stated that the population of Denny is 7385. This is from the 2001 census. Is there much point to keeping this value given that it is 8 years old and that the chance of it being very inaccurate are high? Ecopetition (talk) 19:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's better than nothing, and there's no reason to believe the population has deviated hugely since then. It's there mostly to give people the idea of the size of the town; so we find the most reliable source we can and we reproduce it. -- Finlay McWalter • Talk 22:37, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It also enables comparison with other settlements. The standard population figure given throughout the United Kingdom is the 2001 census. When the 2011 census figures are published, the figures will then be updated. Skinsmoke (talk) 12:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Population of Denny

I went to the old town house about 1986/7 and asked for the population of Denny.The reply was that they would give me the pop of Denny burgh,which includes Dennyloanhead and Dunipace,but they could only give me the stats for people in council housing at the time,the number they gave me was over 16,000,and that was mid 80's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kzero 1 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Matt Busby

Was from Orbiston, in Bellshill. Not Denny, the local sports centre here is named after him. Removed him from the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.216.212 (talk) 21:04, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
