I've always thought that it was Cwmbrân with the circumflex above the 'a' in both Welsh and English, and I'm sure I've seen this on their official road signage. Could we vote to change it? Xxglennxx ( talk) 23:58, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
It's also the spelling on road sings around the area. As it can be seen here, the council is only using the Welsh version. I think the article's name should be changed to reflect this. -- Xxglennxx ( talk • cont.) 03:55, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Shall we move the article if there's no objection? -- Xxglennxx ( talk • cont.) 21:32, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
In this article Ty Canol and Henllys are not included anywhere, I'll give some basics Both Ty canol and Henllys are private estates, They are located in the south east of cwmbran, they are on the side of the mountain, Twmbarlwm, there are courts/streets in ty canol i can name a few,(they are all named after flowers Bluebell court, Rose court, Celendine court,Daffodill court, thistle court, Heather court, Hawks ridge, Buttercup court and Primrose court, If you want any more details, please use this e-mail address: sfpullin98@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.94.140 ( talk) 20:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
As not everyone speaks Welsh, can we add a pronunciation? 182.170.201.30 ( talk) 14:37, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus for move. Furthermore, Google searches, in particular news and books, clearly show "Cwmbran" to be the more common spelling in English. Favonian ( talk) 15:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Cwmbran → Cwmbrân – Spelling. Cwmbrân and Cwmbran are both used: however, the first (and official) form is now more to be seen. See also discussion above. -- Picapica ( talk) 07:48, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
This is absurd. Why the request was denied is beyond me. If everyone in the world started calling 'Wikipedia' "Wikipaedia" and it became the more common name, would Wikipedia change its name? No, it would continue to use it's original, official name. The article has to be moved - it's not the official name of the new town. There's consensus between active contributors here. As I, and other members have said, the difference is so small, we might as well stick to the official name. -- Xxglennxx ( talk • cont.) 16:10, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
It's spelled Cwmbran, per virtually all sourcing. Anyone who wants to open a new move request is welcome to do so. Formerip ( talk) 00:02, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
There's a really informative video on this subject here.
As you can see, signage in Cwmbran sometimes uses the Welsh spelling, but mostly uses the English. You can also hear that "Cwmbran" is pronounced with a short "a" in English (i.e. it is said the way it is spelled in English).
This video could also be a good source for the article, BTW. I did not know that Cwmbran had the first McDonalds in South Wales, for example. Formerip ( talk) 13:09, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi
I just wanted to add that TSB is now back in Cwmbran as of September 2013 to help grow the local community. It is located on General Rees Square and has been part of its local community since Cwmbran shopping centre opened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.4.38.191 ( talk) 18:10, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
