Centennial of the City of Toronto[edit]

Article has been tagged as unlinked since July 2006 - not even linked to or from Toronto. The content is not as described in the title (something about the centennial celebrations in 1934 might have made an interesting article). This is simply a list of committees and their members, the vast majority of which are red links. The whole appears to be a directory copied from some book or other.

This is copied from a fairly rare commemorative book, and thus information not generally available to the public. It covers the involvement of a surprising amount of notable Torontonians, at least 30% of which indeed meet WP:BIO's requirements--it was an all-star crew. I've now linked Eric Arthur, Ralph Day, Melvin Ormond Hammond, Arthur Lismer, and Ernest MacMillan to the article, and I'll try to find more. It's not linked from Toronto, because United States Bicentennial and Canadian Centennial aren't linked from their respective articles.

The reason there's no content (yet) of about the celebrations is that no one has had time to go through 365 days x 2 newspapers of microfilm. -- Zanimum 15:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this is a prime example of a time when the original creator of the article should be contacted. --- RockMFR 14:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this can and will be expanded, once I have the time, which should be soon. -- Zanimum 15:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on RockMFR's Comment: Maybe, but having been untouched since creation 20 May 2006, it looked abandoned. Anyway, given Zanimum's assurance that it will now be developed, I'm happy to withdraw the nomination. Suggest getting some links in as well, especially a "See also..." from Toronto.
