On 10 April 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Northern Region, Manitoba to Northern Manitoba. The result of the discussion was moved.

Northern Region or Northern Manitoba[edit]

What is more common? The article title and infobox uses the former while the lead uses the latter. If the latter is more common, we should move this to Northern Manitoba, which would resolve the disambiguator at the end of the current article title.

Requesting a move now. Northern Alberta, Northern Ontario, and Northern Quebec are all happily living at their current locations, and like them, "Northern Manitoba" is an ambiguous cultural region with multiple definitions. "Northern Region, Manitoba" implies the existence of much more specificity than actually exists - current Manitoba region articles are citing obsolete tourist maps, or nothing at all.

Northern Region, Manitoba → Northern Manitoba – Consistency with Northern Alberta, Northern Ontario, and Northern Quebec. All sources cited in the article use "Northern Manitoba", not "Northern Region". The original source of the "Northern Region" name appears to be a set of unofficial tourism regions that are now obsolete. The region has multiple definitions and should not be treated as a specific object. Awmcphee (talk) 06:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Awmcphee, thanks for adding three different definitions based on sources. To assist in evaluating this proposal, would you please create a map for each of the three different definitions? As I understand it, the current map in the infobox does not align with any of the three definitions. Also, I have yet to see a response to my comment at a similar northern-based discussion here.

Just uploaded File:Northern Manitoba boundary map.svg. Apologies, missed your other comment. I've just found a couple GC sources that define "Northern Canada" beyond the 3 territories and will see if they add up to anything substantial soon. Awmcphee (talk) 07:49, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Map looks great. Thanks for the really quick turnaround. Three suggestions for you to consider and process at your leisure (remember #worklifewikibalance).
1) Change the "Northern Affairs boundary" label to "The Northern Affairs Act boundary".
2) Change the other boundary label to "Tourism regional boundary (53rd parallel north)".
3) Add a third boundary that is the southern boundary of the sum of CDs 21, 22, and 23 and label it as "Economic regional boundary".

Re: the template, if the two or three remaining unsourced definitions at Northern Canada#Definitions can be properly sourced (altered if necessary) and then the template becomes in alignment with the newly sourced definitions I can see a future for the south of 60 aspects of the template, subject to some inevitable nuancing out of this process.
