- These announcements need to be read carefully. The national park reserve (it is NOT a national park) has not yet been created. No bill has been tabled in parliament, so there is no existing park reserve. See the news release, here, noting the last point under Quick Facts: "Harper Government Announces Creation of a National Park Reserve in the Mealy Mountains of Labrador", Parks Canada news release, July 31, 2015.
- Also, the name of the proposed NPR is not Mealy Mountains. It is Akami–uapishku - KakKasuak - Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve. Yoho2001 (talk) 06:16, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 1 June 2024[edit]
It has been proposed in this section that Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve be renamed and moved to Akami−Uapishkᵘ−KakKasuak−Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve. A bot will list this discussion on requested moves' current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil. Please use {{subst:requested move}} . Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly. |
Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve → Akami−Uapishkᵘ−KakKasuak−Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve – Move to official government-designated English-language name. Similar case to Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. Could not move it myself due to the uncommon ᵘ character.

- I understand WP:OFFICIALNAME and I don't think that applies here. Leaving off the front part is not like saying "Pennsylvania" instead of "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania", it's more like calling the province "Newfoundland" instead of "Newfoundland and Labrador". It's missing a core part of the name, and in doing so erases important context. The name is intentionally inclusive of the cultures historically and currently occupying the area. The full name is what people would expect to see on maps, guidebooks, signage, etc. QuincyMorgan (talk) 23:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not voting either way, but I wanted to note that sources such as this say that the park is
known in short as Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve
, which makes it a valid argument for WP:CONCISE. It's not quite the same as "Newfoundland and Labrador", since "Newfoundland" and "Labrador" are separate physical entities that are both in the province. --Ahecht (TALK
