Obvious support. Why lengthen the name when there's no other Davie Village article? -→Buchanan-Hermit ™/?! 04:14, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Counter-proposal to move to Davie Village (Vancouver). I think including the city name really helps with clarity, it would be consistent with the other city neighbourhoods, and the parentheses are easily removed with a pipe: Davie Village (You don't even have to retype the short form - just include the pipe symbol "|" like so: [[Davie Village (Vancouver)|]]). Perhaps more importantly, even if there is no other "Davie Village" article, naming it as such gives too much presence to a neighbourhood. Just as many cities are tagged with their province/state, neighbourhoods should be tagged with their city, unless it's something really, really well known.

- The only articles (with one exception) in Category:Vancouver neighbourhoods that are disambiguated with (Vancouver) are those that are ambiguous names. --Usgnus 06:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History

From what I understand this neighbourhood has been a gay neighbourhood since the early 70's. It would be interesting to have that included in the article. --83.248.239.86 (talk) 12:56, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
