Nickname missing - ‘The Capital Of The North’. Used very often by Manchester based businesses alongside ‘Second City’. Thanks. 2A02:C7C:9245:3E00:FD05:7A0E:F159:230A (talk) 08:08, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Have added under "Toponymy", may be better placed elsewhere. Not sure if it belongs in the lead section/ infobox. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Though in all due respect if the ‘Second City’ nickname (something also claimed by Birmingham) then surely ‘Capital Of The North’ deserves to be in the nicknames section? 2A02:C7C:9245:3E00:6549:579B:846B:25D5 (talk) 18:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be tempted to remove "Mancs", or even "Second City". Martinevans123 (talk) 18:22, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

😂 Manchester - The City Of No Nicknames. 2A02:C7C:9245:3E00:6549:579B:846B:25D5 (talk) 18:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Second City" is sourced (but disputed with Birmingham). "Mancs" is unsourced. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:16, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Though of course ‘Manc’ is short for Mancunian. I think ‘Capital Of The North’ is actually more deserving. 90.212.31.75 (talk) 07:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
