The result of the debate was move. JPD (talk) 13:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
Greater Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia → Greater Vancouver Regional District – There is no other Greater Vancouver Regional District in the world. Per WP:NAME, use the best-known, simplest, unambiguous title for the article. Greater Vancouver Regional District already redirects to Greater Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia.

- If this succeeds, I will submit to have all 27 other regional districts moved. --Usgnus 01:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

- Support the other article is a redirect to here. No reason not to (unless of course if you're a religious policy follower). -Royalguard11TalkMy Desk 02:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Support on wheels. Ridiculously long name. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 04:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Support.--Srleffler 04:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Support No name collision. Use simpler name. --Polaron | Talk 04:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Support. For obvious reasons. Skeezix1000 14:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
This is a no brainer. Is this even controversial? Maybe you should just go ahead and move it. --Polaron | Talk 01:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- You're right. This is completely supported by Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places). --Usgnus 02:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, there's an edit history at Greater Vancouver Regional District and we need an admin. --Usgnus 14:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Metro Vancouver
It says I'm not supposed to edit the talk page, but I think it meant underneath the discussion, anyways thanks hermit for fixing my broken links, I meant to do it but I have a personal vendetta against North vancouver City so, nah I'm just yanking, I don't really, anyways what is this talk of changing the name. As far as I ever knew the name was the GVRD not metro vancouver, where did this so called talk come from? TotallyTempo 06:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- There was a news story about it in the Vancouver Province a while back. The mayors and such at the GVRD were talking about it. I don't know the current status though. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 07:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
What purpose would changing the name achieve, is there another greater vancouver regional district somewhere else or something? As far as I know Vancouver washington does not have it's own GVrD. TotallyTempo 05:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- From what I recall, the reasoning for it is the length of the name. "Greater Vancouver Regional District" doesn't roll off the tongue quite easily. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 05:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
