Rename page

The result of the proposal was move. Mind matrix 13:48, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Rename: Shawinigan, Quebec → Shawinigan[reply]

Per WP:CANSTYLE and WP:PRIMARYUSAGE, this city should have an article at the undisambiguated name (see also WP:CANCITY). An internet search which excludes various combinations of this city's name still produces results exclusively related to it. There is a disambiguation page for the term "Shawinigan", two entries of which point to this article, and the third which links to Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, which is spelled differently, and further is not distinctly named Shawinigan.
