[edit] Name change needed to conform to standards

Note: usually the comma format is for towns, whereas geographic features have the British Columbia in parantheses; so the title for this page should be Big Creek (British Columbia)....actually there's six Big Creeks in BC, so this one should be either Big Creek (Chilcotin). And actually, upong reviewing the provincial gazette, there's a "locality" (community) called Big Creek, probably a cluster of ranches, along this creek, so this article should be for the community, and a new article is needed for the creek per se. Might be my fault as it seems to me I created this article so will be back to fix this once I've done some more stubbing/templating.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Skookum1 (talk • contribs)

I've moved the page to a better title for now. It can be moved once again when other articles with the same title need to be created, and this one can be re-deployed as a dab page. Mindmatrix 20:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Just saw the of the orphaned talkpage from Big Creek, British Columbia, which ultimately shouldn't be a redirect but should be a "community" article - it's a PO and rural community as well, y'see....Skookum1 (talk) 16:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Similar community/geographic feature doublings occur all over BC - Campbell River, British Columbia for the town, Campbell River (British Columbia) for the river, etc with Powell River, Salmon Arm, Seymour , anahim Lake, Francois lake and so on; some like Cache Creek are may be too minor to bother with the geographic feature; in Big Creek's case I suppose the community is very minor; but we have articles on smaller places (e.g. Lower Post, British Columbia) - oh, we don't? Lower Post then, though I saw it....maybe only as a redlink; have to think of another minor-minor example....Skookum1 (talk) 16:35, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
