Untitled[edit]

The original developer of Rexdale, Rex and his wife Della's two sons Rex and Dale, would have been children in the 1950's when this area was started to be developed. W W 05:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed page move[edit]

As per WP:CANSTYLE#Neighbourhoods, this article should be moved to The Elms, Toronto. In accordance with the guideline, however, the move is first being raised on the talk page. Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the city of Toronto's website gives the official name of this neighbourhood as Elms-Old Rexdale, I believe it should be retitled as such. GTD Aquitaine (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing really "official" about that source. The City of Toronto has never official designated neighbourhoods or neighbourhood boundaries. The neighbourhood information on the City's website was done at a staff level, and doesn't have any official status - and a handful of the boundaries and neighbourhood names are a little dubious. Having said that, it is the City of Toronto website, and although the designation might not be official, it is a reliable source unless someone has reason to doubt the accuracy of the neighbourhood name in this particular instance (and I can't imagine there would be any such reason). It would be great if you found another source to show that Elms-Old Rexdale is the name in the "real world" as well, and not just a monicker used by a handful of bureaucrats. But even absent an additional source, I would support your proposed move. Jusr make sure that you conform to the style set out at WP:CANSTYLE -- the title should be at Elms-Old Rexdale, Toronto (no brackets). Or, given the uniqueness of the name, the title doesn't need disambiguation, and as per WP:CANSTYLE and WP:DAB, and can just be at Elms-Old Rexdale. Good luck. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:34, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
