The home rule charter for the city reads "The name of this home rule municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the 'Municipality,' shall be 'Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania.'" This is clearly different then the Mount Lebanon used throughout the article. If there are no objections, I'll make corrections throughout the entire article to fix it...

My understanding is that it is a "First Class Township" operating under a "Home Rule Charter". Clarkbhm 15:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was move. —Nightstallion (?) 09:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mount vs. Mt.

[edit]

The home rule charter for the city reads "The name of this home rule municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the 'Municipality,' shall be 'Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania.'" This is clearly different then the Mount Lebanon used throughout the article. If there are no objections, I'll make corrections throughout the entire article to fix it...

People still call the geographic location "Mount," but the government should definitely only be referred to with the abbreviation. I wonder why they did that. I'll have to check & see if North Versailles, Pennsylvania is really "N Versialles" like it says on all the maps. :) --M@rēino 06:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There really is no controversy here. If the official name of the town in Mt. Lebanon and the town is never referred to as Mount Lebanon, the article should be moved. joturner 19:46, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's a misrepresentation, JoTurner. The town is OFTEN referred to as Mount Lebanon (references in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). The town government is the only organization that consistently uses only the abbreviation for "Mount". --M@rēino 20:06, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The government of Mt. Lebanon Township, the Mt. Lebanon School District, the Mt. Lebanon library, Mt. Lebanon Fire Department, and Allegheny County all refer to Mt. Lebanon and not Mount Lebanon. Even the aformentioned Pittsburgh Post-Gazette link has 41 links to "Mount Lebanon" versus 12,400 links to "Mt. Lebanon". My guess is that those 41 slipped through the the Post-Gazette's editorial process, but I would think that 41 references its vastly overshadowed by the 12,400 references in the same paper.

Requested move

[edit]

Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania → Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania – Mount Lebanon desribes the geographical location. Mt. Lebanon is the official name of the city. The article is about the town so this should be renamed to Mt. Lebanon. A short discussion in Mount Lebanon supported this idea, but another user set up a redirect for Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania (to Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania) before the article could be moved.
