Merge proposal

Complex Desjardins is an atrium with four towers, and I do not see how it aids navigation to splinter the information on each tower into separate articles. They can be nicely contained as sections in the main article, which is little more than a stub. We can still have redirects for each tower in the Montreal skyscraper navbox under the appropriate height, which I believe was the article creator's goal.

Support Or rather since not much has been added, just redirect those articles here without merging. 64.229.101.119 (talk) 04:02, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per Shawn. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:53, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Similar examples are Commerce Court and Brookfield Place, two Toronto office complexes where the individual articles on each tower were merged into respective main articles. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:54, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Emerson7 (talk · contribs) keeps removing the infobox. Any opinion on whether it should stay? 64.229.101.119 (talk) 01:00, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've rolled that back. emerson needs to be willing to at least discuss options. The World Trade Center infobox manages to include height info on each of the two former towers. There must be a way to do so here, for the three towers. If the infobox is removed again without discussions, I'm going to have to start issuing warnings, I'm afraid. best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:47, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's a building, is sufficiently tall to be a skyscraper and the article is more than a stub, so I see no reason not to have it. I also couldn't see any edit summary indicating why it should be removed. --Elekhh (talk) 02:01, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It makes no sense to remove the infobox. Emerson7 should provide his reasons and seek consensus here before removing it again. Astronaut (talk) 12:20, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
