Article move proposed

[edit]

I propose that this article be moved to "Seymour Lake (Vermont)" based on the primary guideline for moving a page that "the title does not follow Wikipedia's naming conventions, such as that it is not the common name of the subject." The current title does not follow the convention that "When a widely accepted English name, in a modern context, exists for a place, we should use it."

Locally, there is a sign for the lake near exit 28 on Route 91N listing it as "Seymour Lake," and there is a sign by the town of Morgan, VT, which includes the whole lake, posted at the first overlook of the lake on Route 111, which also calls it "Seymour Lake." There is a local group whose mission is to protect the lake: they are the Seymour Lake Association. It is listed as "Seymour Lake" at Geology.com, the MapCarta website, on GoogleMaps, and in the list of ponds and lakes at the website of the Vermont State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Within the article and info boxes, "Seymour Lake" is used consistently, not "Lake Seymour", so the article should be moved to match.

I will make the move myself in a couple of weeks if there is no further discussion or objection.
