10m Populated Places: Request to change "Lansdowne House" to "Neskantaga" #333

"Lansdowne House" in rural Ontario is a historical name for Neskantaga First Nation. If possible, the name for this feature in 10m populated places should be changed to "Neskantaga"

Google Maps shows both places https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lansdowne+House,+ON,+Canada/@52.2483645,-88.0993757,11z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x4d648d5650eeb627:0xde6ce10634d3f6d9!2sNeskantaga+Indian+Reserve,+Kenora,+Unorganized,+ON,+Canada!3b1!8m2!3d52.2014143!4d-88.0321218!3m4!1s0x4d64ee515937655f:0x16f91e9874df973e!8m2!3d52.2193869!4d-87.8913116
Apple Maps shows Neskantaga (see screenshot)

Recommendations:

Remove record for Landsdowne House (No associated wikidata ID, closest is Q61038201, a meteorological station)
Add record for Neskantaga? There is no wikidata ID for the town, just the sovereignty (see below)
Cross-reference with territories/sovereignties polygons

Results: 1 Neskantaga First Nation (Q14875338) - Oji-Cree First Nation band government in Ontario, Canada 2 Neskantaga Indian Reserve (Q22595647)

Agree on keeping NE record 1159148901 but renaming it to Neskantaga, preserving old name in namepar, and looks like there is no appropriate Wikidata ID so NULL.

@mizmay can you add this one to your PR, please?

mizmay commented 3 years ago

I think Q14875338 is the right Wikidata ID for this. There are no localizations associated with it though so won't make a difference this round.
