OHRI/The Ottawa Hospital
I merged them together, because weather legally seperate or not, most folks think OHRI is just the reserach arm, and really, the article as it stood wasn't long enough for its own. That doesn't mean in time it won't be, but for now it merits inclusion in the Ottawa Hospital article, since they are the principal beneficary of the work of OHRI and principal funder. --Ardenn 16:52, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


 * That's not the point. The point is to make it as easy as possible to find the information. Names of articles are a good example. Wikipedia convention doesn't name articles based on the legal name of the coporation or person (Example: Candice Michelle) but instead uses the most commonly used name for that person or organization.

 * It also more easily fits into the reserach section of The Ottawa Hospital article. --Ardenn 19:01, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I still disagree with it being it's own article, but I tell you what. I'll put up an split notice in the section, and we'll get community feedback to see what everyone wants. If the consenus is to split it up, I'll be the first to move it over. Ardenn 19:08, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I put it up on Requests for Comment yesterday hoping to get some more feedback, but a lack of feedback doesn't mean it should go your way either. Wikipedia isn't an exercise in democracy. WP:OWN Ardenn 15:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
