Talk:List of Toronto subway stations

message: Construction has begun on the Maintenance and Storage Facility for the Finch West LRT line which is the first real work if you don't count digging up streets to move utilities, which has been going on for months. Does this count enough for "under construction"?  Infrastructure Ontario appears to count the utility relocation work as under construction, and considers this line as such counting the construction start date as the financial close date. . If this is not enough evidence, what stage of construction would count as "under construction"? Mattximus (talk) 18:13, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I would err on the side of caution and wait until they start digging up the street/building stations. Also we need to think carefully about whether the stops are notable enough to warrant their own articles. I think there's a wide contingent of transit editors who would take exception to the fact there are articles for every on-street stop for Line 5 Eglinton and I can't say I would blame them. —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:55, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

text: There's no harm  they pass WP:GNG muster, specifically the first point ("Significant coverage") and the last ("Presumed"). We don't just make articles because we can (we are not WP:INDISCRIMINATE). I suspect most LRT stops do not rise to our notability standards in and of themselves. —Joeyconnick (talk) 02:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Permission to add Finch stations/stops to list? 

message: The Ontario line page lists the line under construction. There are multiple secondary sources for the groundbreaking in the West part of the line. There are also many sources for some other work being done in the middle of the line. How much evidence is needed before it's considered under construction on this page? But not on the main page? Either way it should be consistent. I won't change the totals or anything else yet in case others disagree. Mattximus (talk) 15:14, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed this edit was reverted, but now User:Blaixx introduced an inconsistency. This page says it is not under construction but the main Ontario line says it is under construction. One of those two has to change for it to be consistent. Mattximus (talk) 14:39, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The inconsistency was introduced by whoever edited the Ontario Line article. As per Metrolinx, major construction is not expected to begin until 2023. BLAIXX 17:24, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Can I ask why "minor" construction is not considered under construction but "major" construction is? I just walked by one of the future sites of a station on this line and it was very much under construction. There is a hole where a building used to be. Why doesn't that count? Here is the same website you used saying that construction officially started March 27, 2022 . Mattximus (talk) 00:07, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, financial close on the station contracts has not yet occurred - I think it's reasonable for the Ontario line article to state that the line is "under construction" given the preliminary work underway in some areas, however this article doesn't need to list stations until the stations themselves are actually being constructed. For example, no construction work is occurring at Osgoode or Science Centre right now - so it would be incorrect to state that they're under construction. Let's wait for contracts to be awarded before adding the station list to this article. Turini2 (talk) 09:18, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

text: Essentially, major transit projects are less likely to be postponed or cancelled once major construction begins. The event on March 27 was basically an election campaigning tact and it's what prompted this discussion: Talk:Toronto subway#Is the Ontario Line "under construction"?.

replies: text: Fully agree with  here... "minor construction" is not sufficient to call a transit project "under construction". When actual shovels hit the ground at station sites, then we can list it as underway. —Joeyconnick (talk) 00:14, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

text: Also, the list of stops should get the little 3 badge like the SRT stops, since it will assume the name once finished. AJtehbest (talk) 16:00, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
