A population figure for the Capital Region would be useful,as the Capital Region is seperate from Greater Victoria.Greater Victoria does'nt include Saltspring island and other areas under the realm of the Capital Region.Thanks.
I suggest that the article Greater Victoria, British Columbia be merged with, and redirected to this one. Quite frankly, the conflations of these two pages and the Victoria, British Columbia page are a mess. Any objections if I go ahead and fix things? Fishhead64 07:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Greater Victoria)
1. Establish as definitively as possible what is considered
Greater Victoria.
2. Then decide whether its article is necessary or whether its theme duplicates much of what is in its component parts/CRD articles. I haven't done a thorough enough analysis yet. If anyone has any cites or thoughts, feel free to share them.
3. If it's established that the
Greater Victoria article is close enough to the
Capital Regional District article by geographic theme-- beyond noting the
Gulf Island differences &etc-- then I wouldn't hesitate to suggest a merge. This would create an article in the vein of
Greater Vancouver Regional District which, one might note, mentions the term 'Greater Vancouver' prominently. A merge does not mean that the material within the
Greater Victoria is gone, but that non-duplicate material would be incorporated, into the CRD article. An automatic REDIRECT would be created, thus allowing the term 'Greater Victoria' to forward to 'Captial Regional District'. Also, for added emphasis, an explanatory note within the final article would state the differences.
4. If it's established that the
Greater Victoria article isn't primarily duplication that could be included in the CRD in the same manner as
Greater Vancouver is forwarded/included in
Greater Vancouver Regional District, then it should be kept on its own merits.
5. This whole thing will probably take many days and weeks. That's just the nature of the beast.
This may already be linked, but the CRD natural areas atlas and its sisters on the same page look interesting; the maps are copyrighted but there could be lots of information to help articles with.... Skookum1 ( talk) 14:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Capital F, British Columbia, Capital G, British Columbia and Juan de Fuca Electoral Area have no reason to exist as separate articles and should be merged here. Skookum1 ( talk) 21:46, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
