I can speak to Maple, living a few km north of it. The OSM wiki
states:—CLIP—Use place=suburb to identify a major area in a place=town or
place=city with a distinct and recognised local name and identity. Suburbs may
have uncertain boundaries, may overlap with other suburbs, and are often best
mapped using a node.For areas within a suburb, the tag place=neighbourhood will
usually be used. If necessary, place=quarter may be used for an area of a large
settlement which is smaller than a suburb and larger than a neighbourhood.—END
CLIP—and on that basis I'd say yes, Maple is definitely a suburb of Vaughan, as
are 1/2 of Thornhill, Concord, Woodbridge, and Kleinburg. Purpleville and
Nashville should likely be classified as neighbourhoods, and Hope and
Burrlington (note double "r") as pioneer communities.
16796 Town of Markham, has been a city for a few years.

Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] Formatting of Municipality Names in Ontario
The following 2 are not changed, as per my previous comment that I will not
update the name if it does not exist in NRCan without further review here.
1) 3 City of Vaughan (Maple)
Probably "Maple" should in the addr:suburb field instead?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple,_Ontario
2) 6165 City of Prince Edward County
There is a "Prince Edward" as a City in Ontario not "Prince Edward County" as
a city. Need to drop the word "County"

To start the cleanup process, the following Ontario cities are being changed

next batch to process...
The idea to remove the city name in its entirety will require careful
consideration to ensure the necessary boundary relations are in place and of
course more discussion to see if people are comfortable to proceed on that kind
of activity.
