[edit] 9 O'clock gun

Article does not establish notability. RickK 08:17, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, historic, presumably loud enough for people to want to know what it is. Kappa 09:07, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Like Kappa said, its historic and super notable if its a civic institution. -CunningLinguist 09:08, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Vancouver, and fix capitalization. Radiant_* 12:24, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per Radiant. Scimitar 14:23, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge, per Radiant. Vancouver surely isn't the only city that uses loud noises as a time signal. Time signal currently redirects to radio clock. Might be an idea to try and find more examples of similar practices. Smerdis of Tlön 15:30, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes. Edinburgh comes to mind. Anyway well done on the edits. Radiant_* 13:15, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • I have taken the text from this article, added details about similar signals, and restored a bit of information about shortwave time services &c to time signal, which is no longer a redirect. Suggest redirecting to that article. Smerdis of Tlön 16:34, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Time signal, now that Smerdis has put a good article there. The general concept is notable; I'm not yet convinced that the name "nine o'clock gun" (under any spelling and capitalization) is the most appropriate for Vancouver's example. As in the previous VfD item, Ted Kennedy is loud, but that's not why he has a WP article either. Barno 20:28, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Vancouver, British Columbia. Vegaswikian 02:17, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Vancouver, British Columbia. JamesBurns 09:02, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge As as someone who lives in Vancouver, I know this is at least sugnificant enough to others who live in Vancouver. I sure learned something new from the current page. I believe that this could be considered a stub. If one was to mearge it, it should be merged with Stanley Park, not Vancouver. -Zhatt 10 June 2005
• Merge with Vancouver, British Columbia.--Herrhav0k 14:04, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. A merge to Vancouver would be silly. That is a huge article and has little room for such trivia. - SimonP 02:35, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
