Requested move 17 August 2015
edit- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: moved. Unopposed. Dab page moved to Montarville (disambiguation), though I'd willing to listen to an argument that it should just be done away with and hatnotes used instead. Jenks24 (talk) 22:54, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Montarville (electoral district) → Montarville – federal riding shall be prioritised. An Macanese 07:23, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment if this isn't the primary topic, then the current title is also wrong, as it fails WP:AT specifically WP:PRECISE because there is also a provincial electoral district, and we do not use ambiguous disambiguation on Wikipedia per global consensus. So either it gets renamed as proposed or it necessarily moves to Montarville (federal electoral district) -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:36, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: agree with 67.70.32.190 here. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 20:04, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: That's not how we dab federal electoral district articles, and this is not the place to discuss that policy. -- Earl Andrew - talk 20:07, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- We have a policy, WP:PRECISE and then we have WP:CONLIMITED which should not override global policy. "electoral district" is not a Canada-only topic, so any localized change in the status of that disambiguator affects more than just Canada. And it affects non-Canadian readership, since this is not the Canadian Wikipedia. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 04:01, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
- This is not the place to discuss that policy. We have a Wikiproject for this sort of thing. I'd advise you get a little more acquainted with how things work here at Wikipedia. You might want to start by not hiding behind an IP address and getting an account. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:25, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
- Who is hiding? And WPCANADA is CONLIMITED, because this isn't the Canadian Wikipedia. The term "electoral district" is not a Canada-only term, using it in as an ambiguous disambiguator "(electoral district)" when there are two electoral districts by this name (federal and provincial), affects all of Wikipedia, not just Canada, since non-Canadians also read articles (WP:RF) It is exactly the same as the CONLIMITED outcome for WPCOMICS specialty disambiguation regarding comics characters that does not match global disambiguation and which was changed due to that. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 04:40, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- You're hiding behind an IP address. When you do that, other users will take you less seriously, no matter how good your intentions are. -- Earl Andrew - talk 11:53, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

- Comment—Sorry to be curt but I don't think I can find any reason that the federal riding of Montarville isn't the primary topic here in this case... (Is some one suggesting we need to disambiguate all federal and provincial riding here!?). I don't think we need disambiguation here. Prior to ridings/pages like Brampton North and Brampton South, I would like to suggest that the page Montarville (electoral district) be moved immediately.—An Macanese 12:42, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Ps. Obviously I'm not a Canadian, right?- I'm not saying it isn't the primary topic either. I'm just noting what needs to happen if we find that it isn't the primary topic. (Which is why my statements are "comments" instead of "oppose"; moving the article as primary topic works, but if it isn't, then the current title does not work.) -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 04:22, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
