Traffic in Metro Manila → Traffic congestion in Metro Manila – The current article name as of my writing here, "Traffic in Metro Manila", is highly misleading. Based on most dictionaries, "traffic" is defined as "vehicles moving on a road or public highway" (per iPad's built-in electronic dictionary). Additional evidence is in the ff. articles: traffic and traffic congestion. This article should be renamed "Traffic congestion in Metro Manila" which reflects more accurately to the content and essence of this article. "Traffic in Metro Manila" reflects the common but erroneous usage of the term "traffic" to our society (I myself included, as I use "traffic" instead of "traffic congestion" for the convenience of my conversation to my friends). But here in Wikipedia, we should make the article name reflect to its content, without using colloquialism. This discussion might need some more additional comments. Thanks!

- Oppose. AS nom has themselves said, this is the common name. We do not try to correct English usage. Andrewa (talk) 09:39, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
