Deputation or Council[edit]

I would like to suggest that the term Deputation should be replaced with Provincial Council in this and other pages that refer to Deputations. Not only is a deputation a very different thing in English, but there are ample examples in linguee from Europe and from the Diputaciones themselves (when they have an English page) to use the term "Provincial Council". This new term will communicate the meaning much more succinctly than the otherwise meaningless "deputation". Granted it is an unusual concept for anglo saxons more used to only 3 tiers of government, so could be explained in this page.

Thoughts?

I do not agree to change the title under that rationale. "Deputation" is used in English sources to refer to this type of entity. Proper nouns do not need to explain themselves and the main purpose of titles in Wikipedia is not "describing the entry". In addition the term does not just encompass the deliberative assembly, the "council" —stricto sensu the plenary council of the deputation—, but the wider institution. In that sense, using "provincial council", also technically valid (because it is also used), would give many readers a foul understanding of the entity. Better "meaningless" than "misleading".--Asqueladd (talk) 01:40, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
