The result of the move request was: article not moved, all opposes and nominator withdrew ~~ GB fan ~~ 05:59, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fairview, Alberta (town) → Fairview, Alberta — Since the town is the primary topic in Alberta over the hamlet of the same name, and to be consistent with the recent proposed move outcome here. Hwy43 (talk) 02:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose because Fairview, Alberta probably should redirect to the disambiguation page Fairview, or be a disambiguation page itself. Move Fairview, Alberta (disambiguation) there? 69.3.72.9 (talk) 03:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per 69.3.72.9 reasoning, at first I thought that the town was the primary use, but I didn't realize how many uses there are in Alberta alone, the new disambiguation page should be moved to 'Fairview, Alberta'. 117Avenue (talk) 05:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw per 69.3.72.9 reasoning as I first thought the same as 117Avenue. Hwy43 (talk) 06:01, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revisit move?

Much has been learned since September 2010. With this comment elsewhere, I wonder if we should revisit the past move. I would suggest moving:

The Town of Fairview is by all means the primary topic for "Fairview, Alberta" compared to the largely unknown hamlet that is a fraction of the size, the municipal district, the neighbourhood in Calgary or the mountain. Thoughts? Hwy43 (talk) 02:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I support the first two, as the town is the most notable place that would want to occupy the "Fairview, Alberta" title. But I think the hamlet still needs more consideration. Would this convention apply to all communities (villages, towns, and municipal districts) like the Armstrong example at WP:CSG#Places suggests? I think a discussion needs to be opened on the talk page there to consider rewording it, if it applies to all communities, and all provinces. 117Avenue (talk) 00:00, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Move the first two and more consideration on the third if we feel inclined. Hwy43 (talk) 07:07, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
