To-do list for Government of Louisville, Kentucky:

I reverted the last major rewrite because it included a significant amount of irrelevant material, and lot of what was added looked like it was copied from somewhere. Also major rewrites like this should be discussed in talk first anyway. I would be happy for this article to be improved, but do it piecemeal and thoroughly explain each change -- and make sure it's relevant and in your own words. Stevie is the man!

Government of Louisville, Kentucky → Louisville Metro – Per WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMON name.
There is the minor issue that some users will be searching for the Louisville (lower-case) metro area, but that can be addressed in a hatnote pointing at Neighborhoods of Louisville, Kentucky. All of the incoming links to the existing Louisville Metro redirect are looking for this governmental page, though, and it is the entity's proper name, as given in the first line of the current article. — LlywelynII 02:55, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
When I created this article in the first place, my intent was to create a subarticle about the governmental function of Louisville, Kentucky, and this was backed up in Template:Louisville (Subject areas) and as the main article for Category:Government of Louisville, Kentucky. That's why I changed the lead to bold the term as government of Louisville, Kentucky, as that is what it should have been all along.
"Louisville Metro" (current synonym for Louisville, Kentucky) as the bolded term was incorrect as the article isn't about the city as a whole. I'm not sure why I let it stay that way for so long, but I guess it didn't dawn on me until today. At any rate, if the bolded term caused any confusion, that should now be corrected.
As for linking the main article within the bolded term, this is common. See Government of Indianapolis. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 08:47, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
In Kentucky Counties are constitutionally created, whereas cities are creations of the legislature, when there was a merger of the two forms of government the form that was created by the constitution is the successor of the two. Were this not the case, for example if the city of Louisville had simply annexed all the unincorporated sections of Jefferson county, then the Louisville Metro government would other cities in Jefferson County, some such as Jeffersontown and St Matthews, are rather large cities on their own account, but the are subject to the jurisdiction of Louisville Metro. In addition after the merger, the city ordinances were disposed of, and the county ordinances prevailed in the new government, and when the two police forces merged it was the county police force that was the successor entity. While Louisville Metro has the appearance and function of being a city form of government, it is legally and in reality a reformulated county governmtent. To summarize in a merger of a Ky County and City one of the two forms of government have to be extinguished, to eliminate the county government would have taken a constitutional amendment, which did not happen, eliminating the city government would take a legislative act, which is what happened, if the city had been the legal successor, Metro would have no authority over the remaining cities in Jefferson County. Louisville/Jefferson County Metropolitan Government is in reality Jefferson County, but called the city of Louisville. DexterPG Talk • —Preceding undated comment added 16:44, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
