The tagging in Ottawa is a good guide, with e.g. Richmond a village, but e.g. Centretown and Stittsville place=suburbs, based on distinctness.

I don't believe I said it did, I do believe I said that a city is always incorporated, a town or village, "maybe."

And, as I also said, "local tagging as a consensus or guide" is something to consider.  This isn't alway black-and-white, nor easy.  As we "do our best," things eventually emerge as correct, though it usually takes some time and effort to get there.  (Consensus does).
