See
WP:UCN, looks to me like "Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City" is the most common name. Also, it would need to be a dash, not a hyphen, if it were moved (see
MOS:DASH). Definitely needs a full discussion IMO.

DeFacto has deleted mentions (
Guardian,
Sky News) of groups siding with the UNESCO deletion, claiming that they were undue (or, in the Guardian's case, that they were fringe).
It is understandable that Liverpool is frustrated by the loss (and nobody seemed to be rejoiced by the decision - who would be?), but the text without the deletion would make it appear as if condemnation were unanimous. It was not. The sources mention 3 organisations (
Historic England (an executive non-departmental public body of the British Government,
reaction to Everton stadium),
The Victorian Society (
reaction) and
Save Britain's Heritage, see The Guardian).
Could you please outline the problem with the sentence? Thank you.

Szmenderowiecki, I
removed one sentence - this one: "Some heritage and historical groups, on the other hand, have stated their embarassment of the decision, siding with UNESCO[35][40] and blamed the UK government for not making sufficient actions to prevent delisting of Liverpool.[35]".
Ref [35] was the The Guardian source one you mention and [40] was the Sky News one.
WRT the first part, I cannot see where "stated their embarassment of the decision" or "siding with UNESCO" are supported. [35] only seems to substantiate "heritage groups" with one example - Save Britain’s Heritage, so only one heritage group then, and they didn't say they were embarrassed - they said it was a "national embarrassment", and they don't say or imply anything about siding with UNESCO. [40] doesn't mention heritage groups or embarrassment or siding with UNESCO.
WRT the second part, I cannot see where "blamed the UK government for not making sufficient actions to prevent delisting of Liverpool" is supported in [35], [35] mentions one heritage group, Save Britain's Heritage saying that 'Liverpool had been failed by the government’s "devolve and forget" approach to protecting cultural assets' - nothing about not taking sufficient actions themselves.
Heritage groups described the move as a moment of shame for the UK and accused the government of not doing enough to protect its historic sites or intervene on Liverpool’s behalf when Unesco threatened to delist it.
Henrietta Billings, the director of Save Britain’s Heritage, said being stripped of world heritage status was a “national embarrassment” and that Liverpool had been failed by the government’s “devolve and forget” approach to protecting cultural assets.
While they provided one example, I assume that since the coverage is from a RS, and they said "heritage groups" (in plural), I'd assume more than one were consulted.
The first part additionally listed the two other agencies in this context: Plans for Everton's new £500m stadium were approved earlier this year despite objections from the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), acting on behalf of the United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Victorian Society and Historic England.
In fact, the Victorian Society's response is provided here in the talk.
Historic England's response to that particular incident was that the objects were in better shape than they had been at the time of nomination (2004), but they did not directly address the issue of developments which was the reason UNESCO struck out the object from its list. Their position was rather middle-of-the-road: they said that Liverpool does
just fine with conservation (2016) but still opposed the stadium.
BTW, I've stumbled across the critical Merseyside Civil Society's reaction. Could we maybe have a separate sentence for the reaction of conservation groups (Victorian Society and Save Britain's Heritage agreeing with the decision, and the Merseyside Civil Society/Historic England against? That should resolve DUE concerns, as we'll not mix the govt officials with the rest, and that will seem to be more of a discussion between these groups
