The 2017 Vancouver municipal by-election was an election for all school board members and one city council seat. If there wasn't a vacant city council seat when the provincial government fired the whole school board, the article likely would have just been titled the 2017 Vancouver School Board by-election. This upcoming by-election is only for city council seats, therefore the original article title of 2025 Vancouver City Council by-election is the more appropriate title no? The 2023 Toronto mayoral by-election and 2024 Gatineau mayoral by-election use the "mayoral" distinction because the mayoral seat was the only seat for election. I would argue that this standard should be kept for all municipal by-elections in Canada. RedBlueGreen9322:23, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agree and Comment. The 2017 election was distinct in electing more school board members than city councillors, while this one will only be about city council. I have undone the move per WP:BOLDMOVE, issue can be brought up at WP:RM for subsequent moves per bold move policy. - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 05:18, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
