The result of the debate was No consensus Duja ► 09:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Montréal-Nord → Montreal North — Article should be moved to most commonly used English name (although it is often abbreviated MtlN to avoid the issue entirely), as per Wikipedia policy and Montreal Wikipedians' consensus on similar articles such as Saint Leonard, Quebec and Montreal West, Quebec.

The result of the proposal was no consensus. -- BDD ( talk) 20:04, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
– This move should not even require discussion. It has been established the Wikipedia article name for second largest city is Canada is " Montreal", not the French spelling of "Montréal". It has also been established that for directional sub-categorizing, we have an article entitled " Montreal West", not the French spelling of "Montréal-Ouest". Why is it then, that for the articles on Montreal's East, North and South sections they are titled under their French spellings? First and foremost, Wikipedia is an ENGLISH encyclopedia. Second, for consistency and clarity sake, to avoid confusion, all directions should be in the same language. Third, and what is most paramount, under Wikipedia's Common Name Guideline, the English names MUST BE USED HERE. As an English speaker who has lived in this province my entire life, I can assure you no English speaking person refers to those parts of the city by their French descriptors, not in the past or present. They are, quite simply: Montreal West, Montreal East [1], Montreal North [2] and Montreal South [3]. Furthermore, consult any LOCAL English media source such as newspapers, magazines, books, radio or television, they all refer to those parts of the island as west, east, north and south (see the example links). There is no excuse for not moving these articles, unless Wikipedia wishes to serve as an extension of Quebec's discriminatory move of the past 40 years, to systematically remove all traces of the English language from the province.
