Talk:Toronto City Hall

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

According to Occum's Razer, of the possible explainations for what something is, the simplest one should be assumed true. If we saw the white house through the portal, would we speculate if another building that looked like the White House might be more of interest to the Iconians than the original? 64.229.11.69 04:55, 12 Mar 2005 (GMT)

Oh, I agree that it's most likely to be what it looks like. I only included the alternative possibility because some people in the deletion debate suggested that it was a leap of logic to assume that the building seen through the Iconian gateway was the Toronto City Hall. I say that either it was the Toronto City Hall, in which case the article should stand, or it was a building which just happened to look like the Toronto City Hall, in which case an article is also merited.

The former is much more likely, but I think the latter possibility should be included for completeness' sake. --Josiah Rowe 06:20, 12 Mar 2005 (GMT)

is the VfD done? as a Toronto resident, I have to say that I just dont see it. Do you know how many images are re-used in trek? we dont throw a spazz attack every time one of those happens. All of a sudden its something canadian, and the steryotypical "we are not better then anyone... cept americans" attidude of alot of canadians comes popping out into the forefront. if the VfD is still open, I vote to delete. 69.199.55.143 09:26, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Toronto City Hall kept by VfD consensus

Toronto City Hall -- article is a massive logic leap - no evidence to suggest that the location in question was Toronto, even if the building was used as the source of the image. Deserving of a footnote in TNG: "Contagion", but this article is too far into supposition. -- Michael Warren | Talk 16:30, 3 Mar 2005 (GMT)

• Delete, agree with adding "Contagion" footnote. || THOR 17:30, 3 Mar 2005 (GMT)
• If the Iconian gateway lead to the Whitehouse would we be having this debate? 64.229.173.33 18:15, 3 Mar 2005 (GMT)
  • I've got to agree with 64.229.173.33 here. Although the article might need a caveat or two allowing for the possibility that the Iconian gateway was merely leading to a building that looked like the Toronto City Hall, even that scenario merits an article, IMO. Keep. --Josiah Rowe 18:26, 3 Mar 2005 (GMT)
  • This really puts me in my place as a Canadian, wondering how americanized the media has made me. We really wouldn't be addressing this if it was the White House. I change my vote. Tyrant 18:34, 3 Mar 2005 (GMT)Tyrant
  • Delete. There is no dialogue to establish this as being the Toronto City Hall, that's just the set! And yes, I would use the same argument with the Whitehouse. --Defiant | Talk 14:43, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)
  • I continue to stand by my vote for deletion; there is no canonical evidence that that building seen through the Iconian gateway was anything paticular. Had it been the White House, I would make the same argument to annotate the "Contagion" article with a note about a building in the gateway looking a lot like the White House. -- THOR 17:39, 8 Mar 2005 (GMT)
    • I've rewritten the article in accordance with my vote above. It seems to me that the location in the gateway either was the Toronto City Hall or something that looked exactly like it, and either case is enough reason for an article. --Josiah Rowe 00:46, 12 Mar 2005 (GMT)
