[edit] Toronto Aerodrome

Delete. An abandoned airport that no longer exists and is now a subway station. It operated for only eight years in the 1930s. Very short article: only two sentences. No notability claimed. This article would be better off as a short paragraph in a single article about all abandoned airports in Canada if such an article is deemed worthwhile. ♠DanMS 04:13, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep all airports and/or subway stations, abandoned or not. Kappa 04:28, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Airports, abandoned or not, are notable. Carioca 04:35, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep to expand. -- WB 06:47, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. That its run was short is, in its way, also a notable point in this case. Adbarnhart 07:43, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, airports are not inherently notable, particulary small, short lived airports. -- Kjkolb 07:51, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into List of abandoned airports in Canada, along with all the other airports listed in that list which do not have enough info for an article. -- NSLE _{(Communicate!)} ^<Contribs> 08:30, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment It seems that it can be added to the list as well without this article being deleted, it'd just be a smaller version on the list to avoid redundancy. Karmafist 16:55, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Merge per NSLE. - Sensor 11:39, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - few more words have been added by me to save the article. --Bhadani 12:15, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep because this airport was notable in that it served as an entry point into Canada and not because all airports are notable. Each airport that is abandoned may have to be considered for deletion. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 13:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This look like it can be expanded, and it sounds notable enough to be encyclopedic. Please expand it a bit though. Karmafist 16:52, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Bhadani's rewrite and further expand. This airport appears to have been notable as it was once the major airport for Toronto, the biggest city in Canada. Capitalistroadster 18:56, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Capitalistroadster. - Mgm|^(talk) 19:37, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep real place, real article. Ejrrjs | What? 22:06, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Preaky 01:30, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Capitalistroadster --JAranda | watz sup 01:51, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep historical airports and aerodromes.--Nicodemus75 06:32, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Expand but keep; I have to agree with the majority here in that former airports are pretty damned notable, especially former main airports in major metropolitan centres. Bearcat 09:56, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Historic airport, notable even when closed. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:47, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
