Talk:British Columbia Children's Hospital

Rename?
I do believe the article should be "BC Children's Hospital". I've not seen "British Columbia" Children's Hospital in common or official usage. Can you source that? Canuckle 14:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Points to support name change to BC Children's Hospital: Canuckle 00:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Naming_conventions_%28acronyms%29 - "Acronyms can be used in page naming if the term you are naming is almost exclusively known only by its acronyms and is widely known and used in that form"
 * Naming conflict describes 3 criteria commonly used to determine whether to use common or official name:
 * 1) Most commonly used name in English - BC Children's Hospital
 * 2) Current undisputed official name of entity - no dispute that either name means this hospital and not some other organization
 * 3) Current self-identifying name of entity - BC Children's Hospital
 * I would agree on this point, as I've also never seen it referred to as anything other than "BC Children's Hospital" (or just plain Children's Hospital). I'll try to get a decent photo next time I'm in the area as well. --Ktims (talk) 21:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I just looked through the website, and I cannot find "British Columbia's Children's Hospital" anywhere. The article needs to be renamed, but I'm too lazy right now to correct all the links. Greg Salter (talk) 14:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Its legal name is "British Columbia Children's Hospital". It's referred to that way in provincial statute. "BC" is just a common abbreviation.Agent 86 (talk) 09:16, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps the article should be renamed to that (look at what the actual title is currently). Greg Salter (talk) 09:53, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the need to rename. I'll do it. Canadianknowledgelover (talk) 03:35, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Number of beds
I did some more updating to the history section, noticed the number of beds in the organization box is stated as "142

The reference is a dead link. Someone last looked at it in 2007. But this number doesn't make sense with the other info provided from the Chuck Davis reference (which I also wasn't able to look at) from 1982 when the hospital opened at its current site - "250 acute care beds, an adolescent unit, a modern isolation facility, a rehabilitation unit, a 10-bed psychiatric unit and a 60-bed special care nursery." I couldn't find any current estimate. Maybe they don't care about bed numbers much anymore. I think it's best to take out the number.
