Lionsgate Building (Toronto)

I am unable to confirm that this building exists, so I suspect a hoax. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:43, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete - I couldn't find anything about the building. The address provided is a double-storey house. Lionsgate Films do indeed have an office in Toronto but the sources available suggest they occupy a floor or two of Two Bloor West.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 02:58, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - I punched up the address listed in the article "97 Burnaby Blvd Midtown Toronto, Ontario" into Google Maps Street View. Although the address is probably real, there is definitely no skyscraper there. I was unable to find verification of the building's existence through cursory Google searches of "Lionsgate Building Toronto", "Cinépix Film Building" and the address in the article. I will suspect WP:HOAX as well. Mz7 (talk) 03:01, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as hoax. As stated above, listed address is a house in Allenby, Toronto. Can't find any results at Emporis. Movie industry production related buildings and structures in Toronto are not located within the uptown, midtown and bits of the downtown parts of Toronto but in Leslieville. As stated by Stalwart111, the official offices are near Rosedale Valley. ///Euro Car  GT  03:11, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article actually says that the building was located at 980 Yonge St and then moved to 97 Burnaby Blvd. 980 Yonge St. is part of a condo building that may indeed have been built in 2000, and at the time when the building is said to have been there, the St. Lucia / British Virgin Islands Travel Office was at that address - but I can find no trace of a Cinépix Film Building, the building cannot have physically moved, the new address is clearly wrong, and the details are all strange - repainting of the building, signs on the doors ... something is indeed wrong here. At best, if not a hoax, the article rests on serious misspellings and misunderstandings and would need totally rewriting. Yngvadottir (talk) 03:53, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete I was the first to notice something suspicious. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 04:07, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
