The result of the debate was keep or merge with Winnipeg. I'm not merging it myself, but if someone else wants to they can use this discussion to support that decision (5 people are for a merger, 3 for a separate article). Angr/talk 20:56, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Downtown Winnipeg

delete, This information is already included in Winnipeg, Manitoba article. Magdela 16:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• keep, I think we need to expand this page. There needs to be a page that focuses on the history, current state and future of downtown Winnipeg in more depth. lee_haber8 1:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to the Winnipeg article. -- Andy Saunders 19:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Even with the additions, my vote stays with merge and redirect. -- Andy Saunders 16:25, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Winnipeg article. There may be a need for a downtown Winnipeg article, but until someone is prepared to write a decent one, this topic is aptly handled by the main Winnipeg article. Skeezix1000 19:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC) - Well unless somebody has a few hours in their busy schedule to make a brilliant article in one go I seriously don't think that's going to happen. The article exists so that people can add to it whenever. We would be killing it before it has a chance to grow, and there certainly is room for it. Lee Haber
• Redirect to Winnipeg per above -- getcrunkjuice^contribs 19:50, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - What is the problem with short articles? We have plenty of them, they are there so people can expand on them. Making this a redirect or deleting it will not encourage expansion. Qutezuce 22:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Winnipeg. This article serves no useful purpose as a breakout. Denni ☯ 02:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per Denni. Martinp 03:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment The article has now been expanded, and now contains information that is not in the Winnipeg article. Qutezuce 21:42, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment This article has more substance now. I think you can get rid of the deletion tag Lee Haber
  • Lee, I'm not so sure that we have Keep consensus, even with the additions. -- Andy Saunders 16:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm from Winnipeg, and I think I know what I'm talking about. Besides the people who want to delete probably haven't seen the updates. Lee Haber 16:40, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I know you're from Winnipeg. There's a difference between "keep" and "merge/redirect", though. Andy Saunders 21:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment If the fate of this article is to be merged into Winnipeg, then in the name of being consistent one would seem to have to apply that same fate to each of the following articles: Wolseley, Manitoba, West Kildonan, Old Kildonan, River Heights, Manitoba, Saint Boniface, Manitoba, St. James-Assiniboia, St. Vital, Manitoba, Fort Rouge, Manitoba, Fort Garry, Manitoba, East Kildonan, Manitoba, Tuxedo, Manitoba, Transcona, Manitoba, North Kildonan, Crescentwood, Manitoba. They are all different areas of Winnipeg, no more or less notable then Downtown Winnipeg. I think we need to be consistent. Either all those articles are merged into Winnipeg, or they get seperate articles. Qutezuce 23:55, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Wikipedia has separate articles about many cities' individual neighbourhoods; I don't see a convincing reason why Winnipeg should be an exception. Plus, although more expansion is certainly possible, the article itself is perfectly valid (if a bit stubbish) in its own right. Keep. Bearcat 00:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
