Talk:List of communities in Quebec

This page is out of date already, because it includes a number of communities that were merged into megacities in Gatineau, Montreal, Quebec City, Longueuil, and Saguenay.

My question is should we delete those entries, or redirect them to the cities they were merged with? - Montréalais

P.S. I did a major revision, adding accents and hyphens (style is hyphens between every word except articles, and the words Saint and Sainte spelled in full.) There are probably still errors, including ones I made - spurious or missing accents, etc. - and they all need to be checked against an original list which frankly I don't have the patience right now. We also need a list of which cities were merged into which megacities. I know I didn't remember them all. - Montréalais

Leave the city names that no longer exist because in biographies the reference is always to the original city name followed by NOW PART OF:

Montrealais Do not redesignate this Quebec again. It is a Provine of Canada and is the same designation I gave ALL Provinces. ....Ron Davis

I know that Quebec is a province of Canada. It says so in Quebec. I moved the page (using the Move function, which you should have used too, as it preserves the history) for three reasons:

1. the title Communities in the province of Quebec, Canada is excessively long;
2. the title List of communities in Quebec matches the format List of cities in Canada;
3. it has the word "List" in the title (an article "Communities..." etc. would ordinarily be expected to be about the communities, e.g. municipal politics and suchlike; compare List of popes etc.)

I think that all the lists of cities should be moved to List of communities in British Columbia et.seq., for the same reasons. - Montréalais

Please do not redesignate the PROVINCE of Quebec on my list of communities. Thank you....Ron Davis

It isn't "your" list of communities. We don't own articles on Wikipedia. And I didn't "redesignate" the province of Quebec. Everyone knows it's a province of Canada. That information is abundantly available. It's not like I renamed it "List of communities in the Free and Glorious People's Republic of Quebec", you know. p.s. I'm a federalist, if it makes you feel any better. - Montréalais

For the respect of people who may not be federalist shouldn't we say List of communities in Quebec. I am a federalist also but it seems like a slap in the face to throw the Canada on just for what seems political reasons. - stoltz.

To me, politics doesn't enter into it; it's for the reasons I stated above. Likewise, I would like to see List of communities in Alberta, List of communities in British Columbia, et.seq. Compare List of Georgia counties. - Montréalais
