Orton on the Hill → Orton-on-the-Hill – Per Ordnance Survey and most other sources such as Google Maps. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:40, 11 December 2022 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). Polyamorph (talk) 19:32, 11 December 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

Oppose. Ordnance Survey and Google Maps are not reliable sources on spelling of names. Note that the correct spelling without hyphens can be clearly seen in the picture of the village sign on the page. The Orton and Twycross History page, used as a reference and also given as an external link, also spells the name correctly. I think a local history source and a local sign-maker are more likely to know how to spell a name than a remote map-making agency. --188.30.210.215 (talk) 19:39, 11 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose: From the evidence of a quick web search it appears both forms are well used, so don't see any reason to change. Maybe add a note on the hyphenated form? YorkshireExpat (talk) 17:43, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose: per name sign, see article. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:46, 20 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
