This needs to be renamed to Tow Hill because of the small-h "hill" in the title. Skookum1 ( talk) 16:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm not including this in Category:Queen Charlotte Mountains as it's not part of the range, but rather unique no? Skookum1 ( talk) 18:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved - no consensus. Opposer's argument not addressed by nom. ( non-admin closure) Mattdaviesfsic ( talk) 09:33, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Tow Hill → Taaw Tldáaw – As of early 2022, Tow Hill has been renamed to Taaw Tldáaw through an agreement between the Council of the Haida Nation and BC Geographical Names, the authority in charge of British Columbia toponyms. The Wikipedia article should reflect this change, following the practice with other restored Haida-language placenames such as Daajing Giids. See:

Ooops, I just moved the page and added info about the name change before seeing this request move here. If anyone has a problem with it, we can discuss it. I didn't mean to go against an earlier decision and am open to reverting. Though if we do we really should say something about how the name has been officially restored to its original Haida name, and perhaps something about how the Haida are slowly but methodically restoring their own names for their own lands. As far as I can tell from an informal look the restored names are generally respected and used by non-Haida people, but this one is from a fairly recent batch, so perhaps not enough time has passed yet to be sure. Given the pattern of usage for restored names in Haida Gwaii (like "Haida Gwaii" itself), to me it seems unlikely that new batches of restored names won't also be generally accepted. But again, if others have a problem, let's talk. Pfly ( talk) 02:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
PS: A quick, still informal googling seems to show Taaw Tldáaw as being quite commonly used in the first bunch of hits, from all kinds of sources, including things like BC Ferries, Fisheries & Oceans Canada, and other government sites, and tourism sites, among other thing. Still, one could do a more carefully study if necessary. Pfly ( talk) 02:24, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
