Oppose Though both are only stubs as yet, ultimately they are different topics; Thompson Sound, the settlement, is of "settler history" era and will have a particular social/locational history; Thompson Sound, the sound, is much larger and has an ethnograaphic history and ecological/geological/oceanographic context. It's the same logic as to why Campbell River, British Columbia (the city) is a different article from Campbell River (Vancouver Island) (the river), though that case is much more clear-cut and far less obscure. Ditto Rivers Inlet and Rivers Inlet, British Columbia (not yet made) (and Rivers Inlet people) and many other similar examples.Skookum1 (talk) 19:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
