Title should be Vancouver B.C.
According to wikipedia "Vancouver, Washington" was incorporated in 1867. Gastown was the name of this town before it was renamed some 20 years later in 1886 to Vancouver, British Columbia according to wikipedia "Vancouver".
Let us be consistent. There are at least two Vancouvers and the reader should easily identify which one is being addressed. Regor23 (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- The name only really would cause confusion for people in the Portland area, in Seattle I've only ever heard The Washington one be specified. I think most people in the world would assume a major world city and not a large Portland suburb when they see Vancouver. Always beleive in hope (talk) 22:25, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- No. You can’t have the name. Why don’t you change your town’s name to North Portland to avoid the confusion 70.79.137.94 (talk) 17:47, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
