Metropolitan Corporation (Pakistan) → Metropolitan Corporation – I think this is the primary topic for the term Metropolitan Corporation. This and its subsidiary pages receive far more views together than the competing use Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg. Furthermore, that page and the Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi pages don't seem to be referred by this exact string. J947 † ^edits 06:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)— Relisting.

Comment. Whether moved or not, it should be lower case. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:48, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Too generic a name. Many (most?) municipalities in the world are corporations, and many of them cover metropolitan areas. There's nothing distinctive about this title. View numbers are meaningless in this context - they simply reveal more people live in Pakistan than in Winnipeg. Walrasiad (talk) 00:45, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- As an aside, where do you think the redirect Metropolitan Corporation should point? J947 † ^edits 03:17, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg. The redirect target should be a dab page. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:50, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The target was created 7 Feb as a good faith primary topic grab to redirect to the Pakistan article, but not supported by GBooks. It is now a dab page, but can be moved to (disambiguation) following this RM if needed. Back to this RM the current article appears to be confused in its plurality. We are actually talking about four "Metropolitan Corporations" plural Metropolitan corporations (Pakistan). The article needs tuning to reflect that.
