Talk:Samuel-De Champlain Bridge

Article name
Per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA and WP:PLACE this article may not have the most suitable name according to Wikipedia policy and convention.

The WP:COMMONNAME of this bridge is the Champlain Bridge. The official name is the Samuel-de-Champlain Bridge. Neither of these is used, apparently for the sake of disambiguation. But per WP:PLACEDAB if a place is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the title that is most appropriate by these naming conventions, then its article should carry that name without disambiguation, e.g. Boston. I'm not sure disambiguation trumps many other requirements.

This is in the context of the recent renaming by user User:TextClick of Champlain Bridge, Ottawa, Champlain Bridge, Montreal (1962–2019), Champlain Bridge, Montreal (2019–present) Lake Champlain Bridge (1929–2009), Lake Champlain Bridge (2011–present). --Cornellier (talk) 11:41, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
