Talk:List of unincorporated communities in Newfoundland and Labrador

message: I noticed that Islington was not listed but Island Cove (Trinity Bay) was instead. Since the community changed its name from Island Cove to Islington in 1911, I made an edit. 
I also changed Heart's Delight to Heart's Delight/Islington. The two communities have been considered "joined" for some time now and the name, when referred to in an "official" context, is presented as Heart's Delight/Islington. Having lived in the community for nearly 19 years, I did feel the need to make such an edit.
If this list was intended to present the original names of Newfoundland and Labrador communities, please let me know. Otherwise, the two community names previously described have now been brought up to date.
:The intention, at least mine was, to give a complete list of each and every community that did existed and was resettled and those that still survive today. Fore those with a name change or no longer exists should get redirected to the appropriate article describing the community of today. The article would then cover the topic of discovery, settlement, name origins, name changes, resettlement, etc. This way, again as I see it, would be a great first point to start research for those seeking names of communities that once existed. Take for example Admiral's Cove, Fermuse Harbour (Newfoundland), it redirects to Port Kirwan. HJKeats 19:01, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for clarifying your intention for this article. As there was no information on either Heart's Delight or Islington (Island Cove), I decided to go ahead with the edit anyway. I have been considering starting articles on both communities and, should I do this before someone else, the idea of "redirecting" will certainly come in handy.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Newfoundland and Labrador & the one you found my photo on: List of communities in Newfoundland and Labrador are being worked on piece by piece, some are supplying articles , some are supplying and working on links, I am working on photos, and others are doing what they can with support etc. I have completed the A, T, U and most of the B Lists with , for right now, small amounts of information OR A PHOTO, to get things going. I know you are trying to help but there is a bigger picture, Thanks for your input, I will post this conversation on the Talk pages and see what others think. WayneRay 16:29, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: If you were to mozy on over to User:Super cyclist/Newfoundland and Labrador, I have put together a current listing (as of the 2001 Census) of the cities, towns, villages, census-designated places and unincorporated places, as per Statistics Canada.  I know the subdivisions are little-used, but give a sense of division.  I don't feel comfortable replacing this article with the above-mentioned table, as there are many articles listed here that are not in my listing (and vice versa).  Use as much as you can!

message: The Settlements, Newfoundland and Labrador seems to list all the communities in Newfoundland and Labrador that start with "the".  To separate those communities and list them on a separate article does not make sense.  They should be listed along with all the other communities in the province.

replies: text: I agree, I had not seen this page before and the concensus was to divide the page up into Cities and leave the smaller incorporated towns (bold blue links in article) and have the small settlements and unincorporated towns and abandoned villages separate.

message: I posted to the N&L WikiProject Talkpage, but figured it might get more attention if I brought this here; there are ten "The Gut"s in Newfoundland & Labrador, none are listed as communities; the ref here was easy to find, of course, not that PROD-droppers ever look.  I left the original text which said a settlement of this name is near Deadman's Bay, which is somewhere up by Twillingate, but CGNDB only lists guts and coves and such.  A gut is a narrow channel in Newfanese, right?  Or a narrow cove?  And just a heads up; doubtless there are lots of items in this list that are unreferenced and may yet get prodded, I'm wondering how many may already have been, so anyone who has the time and inclination and more local knowledge than I have is welcome to undertake the time to at least add a CGNDB tag, I don't know if NL has a similar system to BC Names (formerly BCGNIS; if so, such a reference would bolster others from trying to prod with 'no proof this exists'.  Notable ones should have their own article, and the page given should be a disambiguation page; and the one this was originally about, we'll need a cite for the settlement, not just the gut or cove it's at.Skookum1 (talk) 12:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

The Same also applies to New Perlican.

Your are right about this list containing some errors, because I have litteraly made dozens upon dozens of corrections in it and it is still not completely right, even though it is certainly in much better shape than it originally was. I however left Heart's Delight in the list, because that place is not incorporated in and of itself (it is part of the town of Heart's Delight-Islington, which consists of two communities).
