- Category:Hackney Members of Parliament to Category:London Borough of Hackney Members of Parliament - C2C per Category:London Borough of Hackney & per this CfD nomination which changed the upper categories. Timrollpickering 12:02, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- This one should probably be Category:Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for constituencies in Hackney, C2C following a few others in Category:Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for English constituencies. – Fayenatic London 12:59, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- There aren't currently any other London Borough categories in there so it's not clear which to follow. The category is definitely using the current London Borough boundaries and thus includes MPs who sat for Shoreditch seats prior to 1965. Timrollpickering 13:42, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose. I think this one needs a full discussion. I am not persuaded that it's a good idea to categorise MPs by local govt area ... and if kept, we need to consider various options for how to name it. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:04, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose - yuck, yuck. I'm not familiar with the hierarchy, but if the answer is to categorise MPs by London Borough then you're asking the wrong question, or at the very least WP:OVERCATing. Hackney has only been a London Borough for 40-odd years, whereas it has been (one or more) constituencies since the 19th century. In this case "Hackney" is presumably referring to Hackney (UK Parliament constituency) and its successors rather than the borough.Le Deluge (talk) 09:51, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
