Significant Importance?[edit]

I believe my question for this page is why this is significant to Albany, more importantly, Wikipedia for that matter.

Metroland is an important part of a signicant portion of the population of Albany, NY. This article was created partly in the interests of completion (Metroland appears in the list of alternative newspapers).

The only major nerwspaper in Albany is the Times-Union, which now holds a monopoly; if you want a local daily paper you have to deal with the TU's editorial viewpoint (or lack of it). For better or worse METROLAND offers an alternative, plus a far better coverage of the local arts scene. Saxophobia 02:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Content of article[edit]

Is this really the primary usage of "Metroland"? A glance at a Google search suggests several different usages are common. Practically everything else on Metroland (disambiguation) derives from Metro-land (nowadays very rarely hyphenated) - should not Metroland either be a redirect there or a disambiguation page?

Other articles on the disambig page have qualifiers (film, book, album) this article was simply written w/o a qualifier. It can easily be rectified by adding a qualifier to this article (newspaper). Be bold. Zotdragon 13:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
