I question this definition of Uptown Toronto. Historically Uptown was the area around the university, including Yorkville. This definition is still used by the city on its Discovery Walks page, and was the origin of the name of the Uptown Theatre. In my personal experience when people today say they live in the Uptown area, they mean the St. Clair area between Young and Bathurst. The [Uptwon Younge Business Improvement Area http://www.toronto.ca/bia/pdf/uptownyonge.pdf] has yet another definition, placing the region between Eglinton and Lawrence. - SimonP 13:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I question if we even need this article! Someone tried to move it from North York to old City of Toronto on the neighbourhoods page (it's already in the latter place on the template) but the article is ambiguous as to which area it's talking about. I would question whether any area was ever widely called Uptown. "Uptown Theatre" is a rather generic name. I'll bet every major city has one, even if, as in the case in Toronto, there was never an official definition of Uptown.

Would anyone object if I requested this article's deletion? --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 18:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I support the deletion of this article. Uptown Toronto certainly does not mean north of Lawrence - that's basically North York. There is an "Uptown" BIA around Yonge and Eglinton and I've often heard it used for the Yonge and St. Clair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Docere1 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
