1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake → 1925 Charlevoix-Kamouraska earthquake — The title of this earthquake should be hyphenated, not en dashed. All reliable sources I have seen hyphen the name, such as at the Natural Resources Canada website here, here and here.  Volcano guy  09:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

wn.com/1925_Charlevoix–Kamouraska_earthquake. It is disruptive to move pages so they breach the MoS guidelines when there are sources out there that it reflects. Tony  (talk)  12:31, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose—First page of my google search, and look what came up: 1925 Charlevoix–kamouraska Earthquake: 1925 Charlevoix–kamouraska Earthquake on WN Network delivers the latest Videos and Editable pages for News & Events, including Entertainment, Music, Sports, ...
 * Where is your proof? A search of Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake shows like none except for pages related to Wikipedia. You may think it's disruptive, but the current title disrupts me since it is not used in geological sense. And this is not even a reliable source. It looks like they took that title from this article because if you look at the top of that page there is a link about Wikipedia.  Volcano guy  13:38, 12 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose: Charlevoix and Kamouraska appear to be two separate regions, and therefore should be en dashed. –CWenger (talk) 03:04, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. I actually found quite a few references to the "Charlevoix–Kamouraska region" or the "Charlevoix–Kamouraska seismic zone", which leads me to think that it is a single region, at least in some contexts, including geology. Dohn joe (talk) 21:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Sources have both dashes and hyphens, demonstrating that dashes are correct. No reason to move away from the MOS. — kwami (talk) 09:57, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose This matter needs to be handled centrally, at WT:MOS. WP:MOS most clearly supports the en dash. But there is current discussion at WT:MOS that affects thousands of articles with hyphens or dashes. To grind through all this article by far-flung article is ridiculously inefficient.– ⊥¡ɐɔıʇǝo N oetica! T– 12:53, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. (It seems to be the name of a seismic region). All RS use a hyphen: Encyclopedia of disasters "Charlevoix-Kamouraska area", Proceedings of the ninth Thematic Conference on Geologic Remote Sensing . Atlantic geology, Volume 27 , Current research: Recherches en cours, partie E.Geological Survey of Canada , Cambridge University Press. Opposers have not shown any RS that uses a dash. --Enric Naval (talk) 13:45, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
