Talk:Gatineau (territory equivalent to a regional county municipality)

Surely there's a shorter name that could be used? Gromlakh (talk) 02:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The official phrase used in government documents is territoire équivalent à une MRC "territory equivalent to an RCM". But I think Wikipedia doesn't allow abbreviations in titles. An alternative would be "geographical regional county municipality", but it's less specific since it also includes true RCMs.Joeldl (talk) 11:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * This page name should be simplified to "Gatineau (territory)". So it is actually a "territory equivalent" but we don't need to explain that in the title page. But what is more, since this territory is the same as the city of Gatineau, this stub article should be merged with Gatineau. -- P199 (talk) 13:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, it would have to be "equivalent territory". The thing is, "territory equivalent to an RCM" is an official phrase (Google "territoires équivalents à une MRC"), not something I made up. I think this page should eventually be devoted to census statistics, and so on, and the format should be standardized, so that it's the same for all RCMs and equivalent territories, whether they coincide with the territory of a city or not. I concede that I don't have that content ready for it, so maybe if you object strongly, we can leave that discussion for when there's more content. Joeldl (talk) 13:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
