Kanata

I'm not sure where this content belongs, actually. Should it somehow be merged into Ottawa? Or made a district? No options seem very good, but my hunch is that it shouldn't have its own article. --(WT-en) Peter ^Talk 15:21, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

• Unsure. You pretty much sum up my feelings on this one.
• Keep, at least until Ottawa gets districtified, if ever. It is a moderately large (tens of thousands) town some miles outside the city itself. (WT-en) Pashley 16:46, 5 October 2007 (EDT)
• Redirect to Ottawa for the time being. Wikipedia's text on Kanata is interesting: "Kanata is a large suburban area in the western part of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada." There is enough ambiguity as to the status of a place like this (and it's hardly unique among Canadian sort-of-towns) that keeping the pointer around, as a navigational aid, seems appropriate. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 16:05, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
• It is more complex than that. The National Capital Commission created a Green Belt around Ottawa, a strip several miles wide of farms and parkland with almost no development allowed. Kanata was the first large community developed outside that Green Belt, very much a separate town at first (1970s?). The original project got some design awards. Since then, it has grown a lot and there was a merging of several municipalities so Kanata is now politically and administratively part of Ottawa, but it is still some miles from other areas and fairly distinct. This is definitely not a delete. I'd prefer it stay separate, but merge and redirect is OK too. (WT-en) Pashley 09:35, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Convinces me. I'm changing my opinion to keep, although of course some content is needed. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 09:53, 24 October 2007 (EDT)

Image

Do we really need two images of the same golf club? I live in Kanata, so I could get an image of the centrum or anything else. --(WT-en) Kanata Kid 17:48, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Please do ;) --(WT-en) Peter ^Talk 23:19, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

It could be a little while before im able to get it but I will eventually. :)--(WT-en) Kanata Kid 09:29, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Orphan

This article is not linked from higher levels of the hierarchy. While it's administratively part of Ottawa, the VfD discussion seemed to come to a conclusion that it was conceptually a separate travel destination. Either way, it needs to be linked either from Ottawa (probably with a rename to Ottawa/Kanata) or from Eastern Ontario. LtPowers (talk) 18:41, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
