Mégantic (electoral district) → Mégantic (federal electoral district) – WP:PDAB; we have Mégantic (provincial electoral district), the disambiguatory term should not be ambiguous ; and while this district is defunct, the provincial one is extant. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 04:12, 8 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguating terms should indeed not be ambiguous. Defeats the purpose, lol. Support Red Slash 08:23, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. I'm generally against adding "federal" as a bad for any riding. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:50, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
- Why is that? It isn't a provincial riding, nor is it a municipal electoral district, and there is a provincial riding with the same name, that unlike this defunct one, is actually in the legislature. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 04:17, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Support. And should this title become a disambiguation page or should we move the provincial district here and just add a hatnote? 216.8.148.18 (talk) 14:24, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
- IMO, "Mégantic (electoral district)" should redirect to "Mégantic" -- 76.65.128.222 (talk)
