[edit] Official name
I do believe the article should be "BC Children's Hospital". I've not seen "British Columbia" Children's Hospital in common or official usage. Can you source that? Canuckle 14:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Points to support name change to BC Children's Hospital:
- Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(acronyms)#Acronyms as words in article titles - "Acronyms can be used in page naming if the term you are naming is almost exclusively known only by its acronyms and is widely known and used in that form"
- Wikipedia:Naming conflict#Proper nouns describes 3 criteria commonly used to determine whether to use common or official name:
- Most commonly used name in English - BC Children's Hospital
- Current undisputed official name of entity - no dispute that either name means this hospital and not some other organization
- Current self-identifying name of entity - BC Children's Hospital

- I would agree on this point, as I've also never seen it referred to as anything other than "BC Children's Hospital" (or just plain Children's Hospital). I'll try to get a decent photo next time I'm in the area as well. --Ktims (talk) 21:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
