[edit] Places in Montreal
- Merge: This article is pointless. All it contains is the first paragraph on various neighbourhoods/attractions in Montreal, each of which already have their own pages. It should also be noted that no other cities have "Places in ***" articles. At the very least, pertinent information should be added to the places mentioned in the article or the entire article merged into List of neighbourhoods in Montreal.

KeepMerge with List of neighbourhoods in Montreal. <Quite a useful breakdown of info. Also, see articles like List of places in London. PeterSymonds | talk 10:11, 16 April 2008 (UTC)>- Comment Peter has said Keep and MTL has nominated to Delete, but aren't you both agreeing to in fact, merge? List of places in London is just that, a list, akin to List of neighbourhoods in Montreal. MTL, if you would be willing to edit your nomination to simply state Merge to List of neighbourhoods in Montreal, it might speed things along. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- OK, I change my vote to merge. MTLskyline (talk) 17:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll vote merge, assuming that (
all the information)selected useful information will be replaced under the neighbourhood's heading. PeterSymonds | talk 18:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

- Comment, I have no inherent problem with this article, we have a similar but less fleshed out List of Manhattan neighborhoods. Of course, this should have references... gren グレン 11:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Merge with List of neighbourhoods in Montreal per MTLskyline. This is a mix of mismatched things (landmarks and neighborhoods). Circeus (talk) 12:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. GreenJoe 17:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep or Rename: The information presented on this page needs to be preserved, if not in this format, on some other page. This article was originally a section on the Montreal page but was getting a little long. It was moved here so as to not delete information originally found there. I think this article is a good idea because the format makes use of the Wiki format, images, and text to document the streetscape of the city. Even if it repeats information found on other pages (which I doubt is true in ALL cases), summarizing information from different pages allows the reader an overview not found elsewhere. --soulscanner (talk) 17:56, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- This is a very weird and illogical mix of neighbourhoods, parks and buildings (Olympic Stadium?) The content is all perfectly valid, but this particular presentation of it isn't really done correctly — accordingly, it should probably be split into multiple articles rather than being kept in this particular form. Merge neighbourhoods into List of neighbourhoods in Montreal; find an alternate merge target for the things that aren't neighbourhoods. Bearcat (talk) 18:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. Peter, please note that "all the information" may well not be retained in the List article, based on Bearcat's comments and the format of the other neighbourhood List articles cited above. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Why not put the non-neighbourhood stuff in a new article? Something like Attractions in Montreal or Landmarks in Montreal (There is already an Attractions in Toronto article). MTLskyline (talk) 20:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. Peter, please note that "all the information" may well not be retained in the List article, based on Bearcat's comments and the format of the other neighbourhood List articles cited above. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Split in Landmarks of Montreal (rename) and List of neighbourhoods in Montreal (merge). As it is, it mixes different subjects ("places" is too general too keep the page focused). --Qyd (talk) 20:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Split per Qyd - good idea. +Hexagon1 (t) 03:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Split per Qyd. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 04:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Split per Bearcat and Qyd. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Comment, Cased closed then? MTLskyline (talk) 02:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Split per Bearcat and Qyd. Whole heartedly agree that the information is valuable. I actually went looking for this exact list and feel others will as well. SteveCoppock (talk) 22:03, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
