While "Greater Vancouver" used to be the common term used to describe the regional area of Vancouver and surrounding municipalities, the term "Metro Vancouver" is now much more common. For example, the City of Vancouver uses the term: Example 1 (bottom of page), Example 2 (page 6).
I propose that we rename this page "Metro Vancouver (metropolitan area)" and then create a redirect from "Greater Vancouver" to that new name.
To add a slight bit of confusion to the situation is the fact that Metro Vancouver is the name of the regional district that governs the Metro Vancouver metropolitan area. That is why the new name would have to have "(metropolitan area)" in it.
I'll go ahead with this in a bit unless others feel strongly otherwise.
