research for notability[edit]

--David Tornheim (talk) 01:28, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some sources state this is 48 storeys, others say 50. It seems to me it may be the 2 storeys of the original facade that was required to be retained under heritage law plus 48 storeys that are the new building, for a total of 50. Which is the correct number? Not really relevant to notability, but relevant to accuracy of the article, and searching for a verifiable answer to this question may uncover further evidence of notability. (Of course, someone could simply count the number of floors, but that would be WP:OR.) Jack N. Stock (talk) 12:43, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to verify the building is 50 floors above ground, and taller than originally stated. Both Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and SkyscraperPage agree, and believe they are WP:RS. Jack N. Stock (talk) 04:53, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Use of primary sources[edit]

@Jacknstock: A number of the references you are adding are WP:PRIMARY sources, such as the document of the Toronto Design Guidelines from the Planning Dept [1], The Heritage impact statement, similar doc and developer's website. Probably all of that will have to go as it is just WP:OR. I also posted this at the WP:AfD. --David Tornheim (talk) 04:14, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I replied at the AfD, the architect that wrote the Heritage Impact Statement (E.R.A. Architects Inc.) was a third party, not the architect for the building. This is WP:INDEPENDENT rather than a WP:PRIMARY, as independent, third party opinion was required to satisfy the heritage conservation laws. Also, primary sources are allowed in WP, provided the editor is not providing interpretation: "A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." I have not added any interpretation or synthesis (i.e., WP:OR) in the article, only rephrasing to avoid copyright violation. Jack N. Stock (talk) 04:37, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

It has been proposed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burano (building) that McLaughlin Motor Car Showroom be merged into Burano (building), assuming the latter article is kept. As this page is subject to deletion pending the outcome of the AFD, please discuss the merger proposal at Talk:McLaughlin Motor Car Showroom. Jack N. Stock (talk) 02:19, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
