The result of the proposal was move.

Rename: Val-d'Or, QuebecVal-d'Or Per WP:CANSTYLE and WP:PRIMARYUSAGE, this is the primary usage of this name. The only known usage of this name that does not pertain to this city is a small town in Malaysia, which doesn't have the hyphen in it and only gets 35 Google hits. There also appear to be a couple of hotels, one in Belgium and one in South Africa, with the words Val d'Or in their names, but neither one appears all that likely to pass WP:N and even if they did they wouldn't qualify for the title Val(-)d'Or alone. The hyphenated form is already a redirect to this article, and the unhyphenated form probably should be as well — the only page in article space that was linking to that one was Dany Bédar, who's from our Val-d'Or. Either a hatnote or a disambiguation page in the format "Val-d'Or (disambiguation)" should suffice for the Malaysian hamlet. Bearcat (talk) 22:36, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
