Article fails WP:NBUILD. Despite the significant research, the article is mainly based on primary sources. The secondary source newspaper article is somewhat trivial in nature and the buildings inclusion on the city protection register doesn't seem enough to satisfy notability requirements alone. Quick search online doesn't bring up any further info and I feel it's say to say the subject is not significant. 59abcd (talk) 23:46, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it's designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, making it notable. Proving it is a pain. Ottawa doesn't seem to have an easily accessible Heritage Register as some/most municipalities do. Look up the address using geoOttawa [1]. From the Layer List, select Planning - Heritage - Individually Designated Properties (Part IV). Individual designations are indicated with a purple triangle. 1993 Robertson Road is listed with the purple triangle. I have experience using/looking up buildings in municipal heritage registers for articles here in wiki, so this is right up my alley. I'll email the city for a copy of the by-law, then we can confirm with exact details. This should contain the reasons for designation (historic information) and the date of designation.

It would be listed somewhere, in the Ontario Heritage Act register, the CRHP (Canadian Register of Historic Places) or at least in the City of Ottawa's register, but listing it in these places seems to be voluntary or very far down on the list of priorities for local municipalities. the City of Toronto has a wonderful website you can use, Ottawa is at the other end of this scale, where you have to pull teeth to find what you are looking for.

Keep. Appears to qualify as a heritage-listed building per WP:GEOFEAT. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:44, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment City of Ottawa has sent me confirmation. It was designated under Part IV in 2015, with the designation limited to the outside, stone and timber portions of the building, not including the recent additions or the interior of the structure. I'll update the article in a bit. Oaktree b (talk) 23:32, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
