Rename page[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move.

Rename: Rimouski, Quebec → Rimouski Per WP:CANSTYLE and WP:PRIMARYUSAGE, this city should have an article at the undisambiguated name (see also WP:CANCITY). An internet search which excludes various combinations of this city's name still produces results exclusively related to it. Mind matrix 15:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. Mind matrix 15:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support per CANSTYLE. -Royalguard11(T) 00:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, as per nom's search findings, naming convention and primary usage. Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rimouski[edit]

What language does the word "Rimouski" come from? Badagnani (talk) 19:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

>> I believe it's an approximation of a Micmac Indian (First Nation) word or phrase. I don't know the meaning though. Atanovic (talk) 10:16, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@Badagnani: Locals say that it is from Micmac language and that it means "dog house". Amqui (talk) 21:04, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
