The 519 Church St. Community Centre - Toronto, Canada

nn organization, advertisement. Based on the wording, I strongly suspect the full text is copyvio'd from somewhere, but have not been able to find the location as of yet; there are some sections that are clearly lifted from the organization's website. み使い Mitsukai 04:09, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The mission statement is copied from http://www.the519.org/about/mission.shtml. Worthy as it is, the organisation still looks non-notable. (aeropagitica) 11:24, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rewrite and merge if there's another article on Toronto's gay community where this may fit. The institution itself certainly is notable within the local community, but content needs to be something more than just a copy of some other website. --carlb 12:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, this has been a redlink for months on both Church and Wellesley and Kyle Rae, and a differently-worded redlink on List of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community centers. Its practical importance is purely local, but IIRC it's the largest and oldest community centre in Canada targeted specifically to an LGBT community. I'd either keep or merge into Church and Wellesley, but realistically I can't say I really have a strong personal opinion either way. Bearcat 18:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I asked for expansion on the (easily notable) 519 in an edit to Church and Wellesley all the way back in November 2004. Keep non-copyvio'ed information, either in an article (in the first instance) or a merge/redirect to said gay village. Samaritan 01:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Created in 1975, it is one of the oldest surviving LGBT community centers. LGBT centers are rare, and thus far more notable than schools, for example. There are at least nine LGBT community centers with articles in Wikipedia. Wuzzy 13:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it's of local importance -- Samir ∙ ^T_C 01:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but rewrite. It is notable here in Toronto. Skeezix1000 19:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
