Important Article

OK so MN Project ranked it mid but I think the Met Council is pretty darn important. The work they do is underneath what most people know or see and cities on the fringe are at the mercy of the Met Council's decision to service them or not. Tho I can see where today MC doesn't have nearly as much power as in the past since its politically appointed. Anyway, I'll be doing more to improve this article but I thought I'd note attention to it..:DavuMaya:. 17:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

– I don't see evidence that the Minnesotan council is the primary topic for the title over all the others. Only the first two results of my google searches relate to it (and one of those is this article) with the other hits on the first page being related to different councils (e.g. Kirklees Metropolitan Council features prominently). All the entries on the disambiguation page (and all the other councils that could also be listed there if it was a complete list of all Metropolitan councils, e.g. West Yorkshire Metropolitan Council, Delhi Metropolitan Council, Seoul Metropolitan Council) use an uppercase "C" so the disambiguation should be at the base title with that capitalisation.

Support even from England the Minnesota council comes up first though the rest of the results are for the English councils. However the Minnesota one has 512 views but Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County has 368[[1]] which seems close enough especially given all the others without separate articles and the generic meanings per WP:DIFFCAPS.

Support. There is no reason why this generic term should go solely to the entity in Minnesota. Kablammo (talk) 12:41, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. No primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:43, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support for the reasons above. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 20:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
