[edit] Toronto-Hamilton

This 'conurbation' is, to my knowledge neither an administrative unit of any kind nor a commonly-used name for the region. The two cities are separated by a good distance. There are several other urban areas between them (Oakville, Burlington etc.) and they are quite different in character. DJ Clayworth 18:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Redundant with Golden Horseshoe and Greater Toronto Area. About as useful as a New York City-Trenton article. StarryEyes 15:43, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Never heard usage of this word, and I live in Toronto. As with StarryEyes, Toronto and Hamilton are quite far apart, with two cities in between Kareeser|^Talk! 16:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• There's no officially or unofficially recognized metropolitan area corresponding to this term. The two terms in real use are Greater Toronto Area (which doesn't include Hamilton) and Golden Horseshoe (which does include the Hammer, but doesn't end there.) Hell, Toronto and Hamilton aren't even really considered a single media market, even though virtually all of the radio and television stations in both cities serve the whole region. So the term basically signifies nothing whatsoever...or at least nothing that isn't already covered more adequately by the GTA and Golden Horseshoe articles. Delete.

• Delete. For many of the reasons above. --Dogbreathcanada 07:25, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above, though I'd also support a redirect to Golden Horseshoe. 23skidoo 15:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
