Line 7 White (Montreal Metro)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A line unlikely to be of any significance. Georgia guy (talk) 22:52, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. A cursory ProQuest search shows that the line garnered a bit of media attention at the time, and its failure appears to be brought up when any new lines are proposed.  I'm not sure what your criteria is for "significance," but it does appear to be notable, then and now in its historical context.  Keep, as such.    user:j    (aka justen)   14:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)ak
 * Comment. Can you please explain its notability in detail?? Georgia guy (talk) 15:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It was a major civic works project that was widely covered in the local media at the time.   user:j    (aka justen)   21:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * KEEP. This article on a proposed Métro line is no less valid than the article on Line 3, which was re-used as part of the AMT network, but is not called "Line 3". This line (7) actually appeared on transit maps for many years, so it is important, simply as part of the history of the Montréal Métro, along with governmental reasons for cancelling the project. As well, this route may be re-used, possibly as a Tramway (surface). Also, in keeping with STMs policy of line-numbering, should a different route on another part of the island be proposed, it would be numbered as Line 8. There would be a knowledge gap as to why the Métro lines are numbered 1, 2, 4, 5, 8. Polybandrous (talk • contribs) 18:34, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Is anyone predicting this line 8?? Georgia guy (talk) 18:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem relevant here.   user:j    (aka justen)   21:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, major civil engineering projects may be notable, even if they are not built; for instance the yet unbuilt Ringeriksbanen has achieved GA status. Former AfDs may have shown that stations on the proposed line would not be inherently notable, but the line as such would be by far, considering the amount of media and political attention it must have received, especially taking the findings of User:J into account.
