County of Minburn No. 27 → County of Minburn – Proposed name is precise enough to identify the subject, so no need for the additional No. 27. County of Minburn redirects here so it's not needed to disambiguate. Wug·a·po·des 05:51, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support - Per WP:CRITERIA it's more concise, what th e reader is likely to expect and look for. FOARP (talk) 11:29, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per WP:PRECISE, WP:CONSISTENT and past discussion and consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Alberta/Archive 5#Proposed move of rural and specialized municipality articles. Ultimately, WP:COMMONNAME is what prevails, and what is actually common name - County of Minburn No. 27, County of Minburn, Minburn No. 27, Minburn County, etc. - is undistinguishable. That and balancing of the five WP:CRITERIA characteristics was the basis for the past consensus. If moved, this becomes the only 1 of 70 rural and specialized municipalities in Alberta where the article title does not match official legal name, and 1 of hundreds for equivalent municipalities across the entire country. Thus, a broader discussion is required to make this the only one that is not WP:CONSISTENT. Hwy43 (talk) 17:55, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - It will go against the consistent format for the other 69 counties, making it an odd one out. I suggest keeping the name as is to avoid confusion. If there is a desire to rename *every* county, then that is a separate discussion altogether. Mattximus (talk) 19:03, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Although many of Alberta counties have decided to remove the number from their name, this one has not. Searching sources, I see there is a disparity whether to call it with or without the number. I think the sources Wikipedia would use to choose a name that best describes the level of governance, primary use the number, and the sources that would use a nick name or something for branding, primarily exclude the number. 117Avenue (talk) 11:55, 31 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
