This page move from
Chalfont Viaduct to
The Chalfont Viaduct has come out of nowhere. There is no reason for the title to have a definite article -
WP:NCTHE indicates that the definite article should normally only be used when the "The" is actually part of the proper name of a work, publication, organisation etc. This does not apply to the name of a bridge. No other Wikipedia article on comparable subject matter uses the definite article - cf. (the)
Golden Gate Bridge, (the)
Eiffel Tower, (the)
Forth Bridge, and I propose that the page move be reverted.
