There were two competing articles, The Distillery District and Distillery District, containing largely the same information. Given that it's my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) that Wiki naming conventions discourage the use of "the" in titles, I took anything unique in The Distillery District, incorporated it into Distillery District. Can anyone assist me in deleting The Distillery District and doing a proper redirect to the Distillery District? Skeezix1000 13:50, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Buildings/Structures vs. Neighbourhood

There seems to be a debate as to whether this article belongs in the Buildings and Structures in Toronto category, given ther reverts back and forth. As SimonP has pointed out, the Distillery District is not a building, it's a neighbourhood or a district. The addition of modern buildings to the district (two so far, more to come soon) supports SimonP's point, as it reinforces the fact that the DD is a collection of various buildings from different periods. Having said that, the DD contains some of Canada's most unique industrial architecture, and it seems silly to exclude it from a category that contains Toronto's most notable buildings (on that point, the Toronto Dominion Centre is included in the Buildings and Structures in Toronto category, for example, but it's strictly not a building either, and is the size of a small town).
