Considering this withdrawal in retrospect and now being equipped with that view stats tool from grok.se, this needs to be either revisited or just summarily moved:
*"Cassiar" was viewed 57 times last month (March)
*"Cassiar, British Columbia" was viewed 469 times
*"Cassiar Mountains", which is not a primarytopic candidate due to its compound/two-word name, was viewed 375 times
*"Cassiar District", which is not a reference to the electoral district listed but to the Land District and coterminous Mining District, was viewed 45 times
*{http://stats.grok.se/en/201403/Cassiar%20Tunnel "Cassiar Tunnel"] was viewed 311 times; Cassiar Street, which is the source of this name, is adjacent to other N-S streets named for regions, i.e. Kootenay and Slocan and Boundary (which not incidentally is the Vancouver-Burnaby Boundary but harmoniously re the other regions named also references the Boundary Country); though west of it a pattern of naming N-S streets after towns continues all the way to Victoria Drive 15-20 blocks).
*the electoral district, which is defunct and now depopulated since the town closed, was viewed 103 times.
*Cassiar River is missing from the dabpage; I will try and get a stub started, as it is a major river in regional terms; Cassiar Gold Rush at some point also, though that is a complicated subject and much reading and citing will be necessary and I just don't have the time at present or in the last couple of years, despite being the author of many other BC gold rush articles.
*The Stewart-Cassiar Highway was named conjointly with Stewart as a reference to the town, not the region, in the days when the town was still alive.
*WP:CSG#Places is very clear about unique town names; there is no other usage of "Cassiar" that is a primarytopic per TITLE and PRIMARYTOPIC, i.e. that does not contain other words.  This was a large and important town for 30 years until relatively recent times; downplaying its historical importance and its known prominence as one of the only major towns in region the size of Wyoming or larger (Atlin, Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake are the others, such as they are) is why it is widely-known, and why "Cassiar" as a single unembellished term is a reference to the town, even though it has now been disassembled (see see its BC Names/GeoBC entry, and in no way or form a reference to anything else; the old usage "the Cassiar" in reference to the District/region, dating from the time of the 1870s gold rush, is obsolete and never used.  The Kaska, who are believed to be the namesake, have never been referred to as "the Cassiar".Skookum1 (talk) 13:23, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
