Talk:Luminous Veil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Might it not be best to merge this with the Bloor Street Viaduct article? - SimonP 01:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- Disagree. Bloor Street Viaduct article is sort of long and the Luminous Veil has a distinctly different function, warrenting an article, either as a notable work of art, public art, functional art, etc. A quality picture for this article would be nice.

- Agree. The Veil is part of the same structure, so there's no reason for it to have it's own article. The veil does have a specific fucntion, but it's still a working part of the whole. The piers of the bridge don't have their own article, so why should the rail? Also, i find the claim that it is a "work of art" slightly debateable. Thebunsk 04:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Disagree I think having a separate article lets more data about the Veil be added (without being overkill on the bridge article) and allows for good categorization. If there is anything more subjective than a definition of art, I'm hard pressed to find it. If somebody says it's art, gives it an award as art, and the artist says it's art, then it's probably art. But then, anything is debatable. Cleduc 06:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, maybe my opinion of it's artistic merit is irrelevant. Still, it's unlikely that the veil's importance as a stand-alone artwork transcends that of the bridge of which it is a structural component. Thebunsk 20:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Any sources for this article? Data on the number of suiicides from the Viaduct and nearby bridges, before and after construction, would make the article more complete. Cafe Nervosa | talk 23:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] cost
I'm finding sites with numbers all over the place from 5.5 million to 6 million (I assume they're canadian dollars). Haven't seen a source for 6.5 million so I changed it to $6million. --W3stfa11 16:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
