Talk:Metro Omaha

Rename?
I surely can't be the only one that thinks "Metro" is a really vague name for this region (even if the name is sometimes used locally). What would be better: Metro (Nebraska), Metro Omaha, Greater Omaha? Something else? Eco84 (talk) 01:18, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know the area, but Greater Omaha gets a fair amount of Google hits. Any of those seem better than Metro, though, which I would assume would be some sort of general article about subway transport. --Peter Talk 01:36, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking there is a difference in meaning between "greater" and "metro". Not sure about Omaha, but in Toronto the definition is that "metro" is (or was) everything within the regional municipality, the equivalent of one county (Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto 1953-1997 contained Toronto, York, North York, East York, Etobicoke, Scarborough). The definition of "greater" includes things clearly outside the county line, so 'greater' Toronto includes Peel Region (Mississauga-Brampton), York Region (Markham), Durham Region (Pickering to Oshawa) and maybe Halton (Oakville). Something eight counties in size would therefore be "greater". K7L (talk) 01:59, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Considering we have London Underground, Paris Metro would not be a surprising article, in which case we would need a disambiguation page. In fact, given the ambiguity, I would recommend that we do it now, with Paris Metro a redirect to Paris.  For this article, I would suggest Metro Omaha, but I don't know the area.

 * I'll also throw in my agreement that this article is badly named. I'll also volunteer to help write a general "Metro" article about travelling on metro-style public transport, as that's my other area of interest. It may even be helpful not only for logistics, but for interested travellers. I know some people travel to test out and experience the public transport systems from around the world!

The current name must go. When I see "metro", I think of things I know, like the Shanghai Metro. Montreal Metro or Metro Toronto. Search shows we have Metro Atlanta, Metro Manila and others. Moving this (without a redirect) to Metro Omaha would fit that pattern. Pashley (talk) 16:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I just moved this to Metro Omaha. I'll put up Metro for deletion for the time being since it shouldn't redirect here, unless someone really wants to start that ravel topic right now. It could always re recreated later. (nevermind, it was speedy-deleted by someone else) Eco84 (talk) 13:14, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
