Toggenburg (district) → Toggenburg (Wahlkreis) — Like the other Wahlkreise in this category. Schwyz (talk) 11:41, 27 March 2010 (UTC)


 * agree, but you're acting not as you're talking now: other "districts" you're actually (end March 2010) moving as (p.e.) "Zürich District" (17:59, 27 March 2010) and further more ...
 * imho ALL Swiss "Bezirke" (or "Wahlkreise" etc.) should be renamed/moved in their native term/name, p.e. "Zürich (Bezirk)" respectively as here "Toggenburg (Wahlkreis), and so on. Roland 21:51, 27 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.56.162.147 (talk)
 * exist both: Bezirke (districts) and constituencies (Wahlkreis), see Category:Subdivisions of the canton of St. Gallen. Subdivisions of the canton of St. Gallen says: "The canton abolished the district level in 2003, but it remains divided into eight constituencies (Wahlkreise) without administrative significance". So there was a time when both existed, to name them the same is not good. I am now only talking about Category:Constituencies of the canton of St. Gallen. Schwyz (talk) 11:59, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose I think Toggenburg (constituency) would be more appropriate. Wahlkreis doesn't really mean anything to a English reader and I don't think it would help in removing ambiguity. Whatever the result, it should result in consistency for all the article in the category.--Labattblueboy (talk) 19:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Toggenburg (constituency) seems like an artificial construct.  Is it ever referred to as that, particularly in English language publications in Switzerland?  I would be happier with Toggenburg Wahlkreis than the proposed move, which would be more in line with what we do in other countries.  Skinsmoke (talk) 02:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
