Talk:St. Anthony, Minnesota

message: Since we've deprecated the use of City, County, State in article names, what shall we rename this one? 
*Saint Anthony Village, Minnesota
*Saint Anthony, Minnesota
Accordingly, the official name is City of St. Anthony, without the Saint spelled out, but all its logos spell out Saint. St. Paul is Saint Paul but why is Saint Peter - St. Peter? Also the high school is St. Anthony Village, so do we include Village or not? Officially it's not SAV, but in terms of common usage, it is a very distinguishing and descriptive name. Go at it! .:davumaya:. 20:37, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Residents refer to the city as Saint Anthony Village generally speaking, so that should be the name per WP:COMMONNAME, I believe. matt91486 (talk) 21:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree.  We should use the official name, note the 'common' name in the article, and use a redirect from the common name if deemed appropriate.  This is analogous to "Twin Cities":  Everyone calls the metro area that, but Twin Cities redirects to Minneapolis-Saint Paul which is the 'official' metro name.  --Rehcsif (talk) 17:17, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

text: The problem is, there's also a St. Anthony in Stearns county, as well as St. Anthony being the name for what is now part of NE Minneapolis.  Thererfore, St. Anthony, Minnesota is currently a disambiguation page...  --Rehcsif (talk) 18:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, well one of those facts can be combined into the current City of St. Anthony page. What is today's St. Anthony was yesterday's Northeast Minneapolis ala History of Minneapolis. The only contention then is the city in Stearns County. I find it flabbergasting that a town the size of 90 people and decreasing can be designated a city by the state. Blah. But considering common usage, how many people will want to know about the Stearn's County city? We could just leave that page at St. Anthony, Stearns County, Minnesota and ensure a disambig link is added. Reasoning of common usage being Minneapolis for example auto-redirects to Minneapolis, MN even though there are about 3 other "cities" named Minneapolis in the nation. .:davumaya:. 19:28, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A couple points:  1) You have it backwards:  What was yesterday's St. Anthony is (part of) today's NE Minneapolis e.g. the area east of the Stone Arch bridge including St. Anthony Main).  2) 'City' is a legal designation that has to do with if/how the city was incorporated, not size...  Anyway, I'd be fine with your compromise.  I'd suggest  "St. Anthony, Minnesota" points to the suburb, moving the current page to "St. Anthony, Minnesota (disambiguation)" and including a dablink from the new page.

message: There was an edit conflict a while back suggesting that the dispute was not relevant.  The sheer volume of media coverage on this says that it is, regardless of a guilty verdict or not.  Some form - of course well sourced and objective as possible - should indeed be included in the history section of the article. matt91486 (talk) 04:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
