Untitled[edit]

I removed the area from the infobox, it was 87,817.92 sq km (a little over the size of South Carolina). I don't know if the number was supposed to be square metres, or if it was just a typo, but I have been to Wabowden, and I don't remember it being that large. I will see if I can get the right number.--Kelapstick 16:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both the area and the population being given were for the entire unorganized portion of Division No. 22, Manitoba, not for Wabowden alone. Bearcat (talk) 17:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move.

Suggest to move article to Wabowden, only thing close to a similar name is Wabowden Water Aerodrome. The town's namesake is W. A. Bowden, so that shouldn't be a problem.--kelapstick (talk) 19:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wabowden, or secondary uses related to Wabowden, were the only results of the google search I did. So, as per WP:CANSTYLE and WP:PRIMARYUSAGE, I support the move. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 23:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should be moved to Wabowden, Manitoba[edit]

Most other smaller places are named in this fashion. Backspace (talk) 03:55, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See the discussion above. According to Canadian naming conventions population is not relevant if the name of the city/town is the primary use of the name. See also Flin Flon, Leaf Rapids etc.--kelapstick (talk) 17:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
