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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Oppose per
WP:PRECISE,
WP:CONSISTENT and past discussion and consensus at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Alberta/Archive 5#Proposed move of rural and specialized municipality articles. Ultimately,
WP:COMMONNAME is what prevails, and what is actually common name - County of Minburn No. 27, County of Minburn, Minburn No. 27, Minburn County, etc. - is undistinguishable. That and balancing of the five
WP:CRITERIA characteristics was the basis for the past consensus. If moved, this becomes the only 1 of 70 rural and specialized municipalities in Alberta where the article title does not match official legal name, and 1 of hundreds for equivalent municipalities across the entire country. Thus, a broader discussion is required to make this the only one that is not
WP:CONSISTENT.

Oppose - It will go against the consistent format for the other 69 counties, making it an odd one out. I suggest keeping the name as is to avoid confusion. If there is a desire to rename *every* county, then that is a separate discussion altogether.

Oppose. Although many of Alberta counties have decided to remove the number from their name, this one has not. Searching sources, I see there is a disparity whether to call it with or without the number. I think the sources Wikipedia would use to choose a name that best describes the level of governance, primary use the number, and the sources that would use a nick name or something for branding, primarily exclude the number.
