Split to Regional municipality (Ontario) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This article is biased towards Ontario's form of regional municipality. It should be a general overview of the form instead. But the intro section is mostly about Ontario, and not the other provinces found in this article. This should be fixed with a focused article on Ontario, and a more general article for this form in general, such as found at rural municipality. A summary of the Ontario content would be left behind, with a new intro section. The Quebec section already is just a summary (though probably too short at the moment) and a link to a main article. -- 65.93.183.33 (talk) 12:40, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’d advise against as it would be a mess. Unlike Ontario, most Canadian provinces only have single tier municipalities. Consensus to determine a title for such would also be impossible. Hwy43 (talk) 00:26, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Having lived in Nova Scotia and now Ontario I am aware of regional municipalities in their sheer stupidity. I believe Nova Scotia should be expanded in this article due to Halifax Regional Municipality and it's absolute chaos. If you want to have fun go look up the old revisions of Historical Halifax vs. the current monstrosity that it is on their respective pages. In Ontario, it has these bizarre amalgamations, with two tiers of government that make no sense for example Regional Municipality of Niagara and Regional Municipality of Peel. Keep the towns and cities, their mayors and councils and then have another regional council, and then the provincial government is insanity. In Government in Halifax, Nova Scotia for example at least the regional council is the only "city council" where those specific community councils are just made up of the same councillors. Much less complicated, at least you know who you vote for. Anyway, this is a very Canadian thing to do as there's very little info on amalgamation in other countries - it exists but it's not as popular. CaffeinAddict (talk) 02:46, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I'd agree that a split isn't warranted yet, as the article isn't overly long. If the content about provinces other than Ontario is inadequate, then the first answer to that is to expand the content about other provinces rather than pruning back the content about Ontario per se — and then if the article is long enough we can consider splitting it up into separate articles for each province. But as things stand right now, that's not necessary yet, because the article just isn't that long and needs expansion more than it needs reduction. Expand the content about other provinces first, and then we can consider whether the article is long enough to justify splitting. Bearcat (talk) 15:17, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- A good idea would be to keep this article, but create another article: "Canadian Provincial divisions". All provinces have divisions of some sort. Alberta has census divisions, and BC has regional districts, for example. Transportfan70 (talk) 14:54, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We already have List of census divisions of Canada by population. At the next level down we also have Lists of municipalities in Canada. Hwy43 (talk) 00:16, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
