message: It is proposed that this article name simply be Grand Manan Island, as there are no other articles for a Grand Manan Island. Grand Manan Airport is the closest, and secondary to the island itself. NRCAN database only show Grand Manan names for this island . USGS indicates Grand Manan Channel, which is shared with this island. Likewise, US NGA foreign GeoNames search does not give any instances of Grand Manan outside this area . Therefore, Grand Manan Island should be primary and unambiguous without the (New Brunswick). Dl2000 (talk) 19:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed move

message: Just wondering why this explorer is referred to here using an English-language version of his name?  The English writer Hakluyt used "Stephen Bellinger" instead of "Étienne Bellenger," but is the English-language adaptation so much more widely known nowadays in New Brunswick than the French original that it should be used in this article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.33.96 (talk) 16:17, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
