Talk:Luminous Veil

Bloor Street

Might it not be best to merge this with the Bloor Street Viaduct article? - SimonP 01:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Disagree. Bloor Street Viaduct article is sort of long and the Luminous Veil has a distinctly different function, warrenting an article, either as a notable work of art, public art, functional art, etc. A quality picture for this article would be nice.

• Agree. The Veil is part of the same structure, so there's no reason for it to have it's own article. The veil does have a specific fucntion, but it's still a working part of the whole. The piers of the bridge don't have their own article, so why should the rail? Also, i find the claim that it is a "work of art" slightly debateable. Thebunsk 04:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

• Disagree I think having a separate article lets more data about the Veil be added (without being overkill on the bridge article) and allows for good categorization. If there is anything more subjective than a definition of art, I'm hard pressed to find it. If somebody says it's art, gives it an award as art, and the artist says it's art, then it's probably art. But then, anything is debatable. Cleduc 06:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, maybe my opinion of it's artistic merit is irrelevant. Still, it's unlikely that the veil's importance as a stand-alone artwork transcends that of the bridge of which it is a structural component. Thebunsk 20:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

• Agree There is not enough content for a separate article on a feature of something that already has an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.58.155 (talk) 20:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

• Disagree Can act as a stand alone and certaintly is notable in itself. Ottawa4ever (talk) 18:26, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I removed the merge tags regarding this discussion. It has been unresolved for almost five years now. If someone wants to start a new discussion about it, please feel free but please insert new tags and link them to a new talk section, ideally on this page since this is the article being merged.

Any sources for this article? Data on the number of suiicides from the Viaduct and nearby bridges, before and after construction, would make the article more complete. Cafe Nervosa | talk 23:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

cost

I'm finding sites with numbers all over the place from 5.5 million to 6 million (I assume they're canadian dollars). Haven't seen a source for 6.5 million so I changed it to $6million. --W3stfa11 16:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

misc

"Some critics have argued that rather than preventing suicides, the Luminous Veil merely caused them to shift to other bridges in the area instead.[citation needed]" Should that be removed? Without a citation it seems kind of weaselly. P.J. Casey 16:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Citation 4 is a dead link?

I'm unable to reach citation 4. Is there another source for the claim it's cited as supporting? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cipherswarm (talk • contribs) 23:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
