Winona Park merger

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was merge into Marpole. -- Futurano 20:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC) That article, earlier marked as possibly unnotable, is proposed to be merged here. The standalone article is indeed hardly notable. But this neighborhood article could benefit from the info from there. --Futurano 20:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with that. The park doesn't seem to have any substantial reason to stand out from the neighbourhood, and it also has some non-encyclopedic tone that could be removed in the merger. Tony Fox (arf!) 22:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope someone else would fix the tone after my merger. Thank you for your participation --Futurano 20:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I messed something with the coordinates of the park. I moved the bracketed template in the new section of this page, but no message appeared. --Futurano 20:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

The source fails to explain that the original part of Eburne was on Sea Island (south side of the North Arm). (https://open.library.ubc.ca/viewer/bcbooks/1.0308107#p211z-3r0f:%22Eburne%22) From 1889, the Eburne Bridge crossed the Arm. Prior to the late 1890s, North Arm, renamed Eburne, covered a much larger area. (https://open.library.ubc.ca/viewer/bcbooks/1.0354332#p112z-4r0f:%22Eburne%22) When CP built the line under the Vancouver & Lulu Island Railway charter, the CP station (north side of the North Arm), which opened in 1902, was called Eburne. (https://open.library.ubc.ca/viewer/deltnews/1.0079123#p0z-3r0f:%22eburne%22) From 1905, BCER leased the line and thereby took over passenger operations from CP, which continued freight use. As late as 1912, the north side was equally known as Eburne. (https://open.library.ubc.ca/viewer/xwestcall/1.0188375#p1z-4r0f:%22Eburne%22) It is unclear whether "Eburne Station" applied to anything more than the streets immediately surrounding the station.

In April 1913, Shaughnessy station to the northwest of Eburne station (https://searcharchives.vancouver.ca/uploads/r/null/4/e/3/4e30a8d655dc12dc0fa477f88b619b47c935eacc7b07040135ba28a20da1de06/f16ee6da-6542-41ba-820e-706f79fdcd3e-MAP655.jpg) was renamed Marpole station. (https://www-newspapers-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/image/64549673/?match=1&terms=%22Eburne%22%5C) By October 1914, the two stations appear to have merged. (https://www-newspapers-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/image/498156245/?match=1&terms=%22Eburne%22%5C) The two post office names were Eburne for Sea Island and Eburne Station for the north side of the river. In April 1916, the residents petitioned for the latter to be renamed Marpole, which also aligned with the station name. (https://www-newspapers-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/image/64080220/?match=1&terms=%22Eburne%22%5C) In May, the request was granted. (https://www-newspapers-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/image/498211417/?match=1&terms==%22Eburne%22%5C) It was common practice for a station name to be adopted as the community name. A change in a post office name usually followed or preceded a community name change. DMBanks1 (talk) 15:46, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If anybody is inspired to research and rewrite this deficient article, the weak History and Heritage source should not be used. Much of the contents of the latter have been omitted from the history narrative within the official community plan. (https://council.vancouver.ca/20200915/documents/a1_2-marpole-community-plan.pdf) Interestingly, it does not mention the name origin, possibly because Richard Marpole had no link to the area beyond his executive role with the railway.
