Rename, "The Triangle" is a denonym, and as I have no problem with calling the metro that in the article, the category should be renamed to its formal name. User:Arual 12:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose for now. The Triangle is a nickname, not a demonym, and the category name should align with its main article. If there's consensus to change the article name, then we should rename the category. - EurekaLott 14:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK. User:Arual 12:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The Triangle is a common name, known all over the state and arguably all over the country. It is not the Raleigh-Durham metro area, except in official terms... in this case, this official term is almost never used, therefore, both cats should remain as is. Wikipedia encourages common language as long as its not too informal, which this is not; "The Triangle" is an extremely common term for Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill (and arguably Cary instead of Chapel Hill), just like the Piedmont Triad. --TinMan 04:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
