Apex, Nunavut → Apex, Iqaluit — The current title follows the naming convention for independent communities. However, as per Iqaluit unveils proposals for new facilities ("anywhere in town, including Apex, in a very short period of time,") and Four vie for Iqaluit mayor ("On voting day, polling stations will be at the Cadet Hall and the Abe Okpik Hall in Apex.") the place is actually a part of Iqaluit and a better and correct title would be Apex, Iqaluit. --Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 12:39, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Oppose per Bellevue, Washington (not Bellevue, Seattle), Anaheim, California (not Anaheim, Los Angeles), Richmond, British Columbia (not Richmond, Vancouver). Suburbs are, by definition, legally recognized as separate cities by their governments. Those that aren't are called neighborhoods, quarters, districts or boroughs. Suburbs on Wikipedia are never disambiguated with the major city, but with the state or province or country. D O N D E groovily  Talk to me  07:13, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that "suburb" is the wrong definition for Apex and have changed it to reflect that. Bellevue, Anaheim and Richmond all appear to have their own mayor and council. Apex has neither a separate mayor or council, see this. Nor is Apex recognised as a separate community by either the Government of Nunavut or the Government of Canada.

 * What CBW said. Suburbs are, in fact, often disambiguated with the name of their city when they are not a separate municipality.  --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Support, as per neighbourhood naming-convention at WP:CANSTYLE. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Support per CBW's arguments above.--Kotniski (talk) 14:23, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Oppose as the community has a historic significance separate from the larger nearby City which would be lost in this transfer. Apex also has a legally separate District Authority and 5 pages of related legislation when searched in the relevant data base: http://www.justice.gov.nu.ca/apps/search/docSearch.aspx?archived=0&what=Apex+&fields=all&search=%28PATH+like+%27%25%5CConsolidated+Law%5C%25%5C%25%5C%25%27+OR+PATH+like+%27%25%5CGazette%5CPart-II%5C%25%27%29&sort=rank&dir=asc&allLang=1

 * Just to be clear, you do understand that I don't want to merge this into the Iqaluit article but change the name so that it is consistent with other Canadian subdivisions (Oliver, Edmonton, Riverdale, Edmonton) that do not have a unique name. No material would be lost at all. By the way most of the documents in the link are mentions of the Apex DEA, amendments to prior legislation and street address for business in Apex. Also there are at least three documents there that show Apex as not being separate from Iqaluit, Building 3044 (Apex) Iqaluit, The boundaries of the Apex Education District are the same as the boundaries of that portion of the Town of Iqaluit known as Apex. and The boundaries of the Iqaluit Education District are the same as the boundaries of the Town of Iqaluit excluding that portion of the town known as Apex..
