Not a lot mention of the history and of the dodems (clans) of Walpole First Nation. Make some room for improvement there? --Anaccuratesource (talk) 04:13, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Walpole Island First Nation → Walpole Island – Per WP:COMMONNAME. The shorter name is how the subject is referred to in everyday conversation, how it's identified on maps (for example), widely favored by incoming links, and used in most places within the article itself.

Oppose: This article is mainly about the First Nation and its reserve, not the island itself. FUNgus guy (talk) 02:25, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COMMONNAME still applies. The shorter name is far more commonly used for the community, and the inbound links and the text of the article itself demonstrate that. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 13:54, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The First Nation is greater than the island/reserve. It includes history, culture, an off-reserve population, as well as traditional territory beyond that which was reserved. FUNgus guy (talk) 22:58, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
