1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake → 1925 Charlevoix-Kamouraska earthquake — The title of this earthquake should be hyphenated, not en dashed. All reliable sources I have seen hyphen the name, such as at the Natural Resources Canada website here, here and here. Volcanoguy 09:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

It is disruptive to move pages so they breach the MoS guidelines when there are sources out there that it reflects. Tony (talk) 12:31, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Where is your proof? A search of Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake shows like none except for pages related to Wikipedia.[1] You may think it's disruptive, but the current title disrupts me since it is not used in geological sense. And this is not even a reliable source. It looks like they took that title from this article because if you look at the top of that page there is a link about Wikipedia.

Oppose: Charlevoix and Kamouraska appear to be two separate regions, and therefore should be en dashed. –CWenger (talk) 03:04, 15 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Support. I actually found quite a few references to the "Charlevoix–Kamouraska region" or the "Charlevoix–Kamouraska seismic zone", which leads me to think that it is a single region, at least in some contexts, including geology. Dohn joe (talk) 21:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Oppose Sources have both dashes and hyphens, demonstrating that dashes are correct. No reason to move away from the MOS. — kwami (talk) 09:57, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Oppose This matter needs to be handled centrally, at WT:MOS. WP:MOS most clearly supports the en dash. But there is current discussion at WT:MOS that affects thousands of articles with hyphens or dashes. To grind through all this article by far-flung article is ridiculously inefficient.–_⊥^{¡ɐɔıʇǝo}Noetica!^T– 12:53, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Support per WP:COMMONNAME. (It seems to be the name of a seismic region). All RS use a hyphen: Encyclopedia of disasters "Charlevoix-Kamouraska area" [2], Proceedings of the ninth Thematic Conference on Geologic Remote Sensing [3]. Atlantic geology, Volume 27 [4], Current research: Recherches en cours, partie E.Geological Survey of Canada [5], Cambridge University Press[6]. Opposers have not shown any RS that uses a dash. --Enric Naval (talk) 13:45, 26 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
