Hierarchy definition

No classification of this project has been defined.

Structure

Motivation

1. Ottawa is the national capital of Canada, a nation historically rated #1 by the UN Human Development Index.
2. Ottawa-Gatineau is the fourth largest Census Metropolitan Area in Canada.
3. The National Capital Region is home to a vibrant and colourful history and population that should be brought to life in this living encyclopedia.
4. Ottawa is home to a wide range of notable institutions and structures, including the Rideau Canal, recently designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
5. Ottawa has been named as one of "The Smart21 Communities" by the "The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF)" for both 2006 and 2007. ([1])

Naming conventions

• Places: as [[Bank Street (Ottawa)]] with a redirect from [[Bank Street]], or a disambiguation page if there is more than one place or thing with this name.
• All OC Transpo stations: as [[Fallowfield Station (OC Transpo)]].
• Cities: as their former official full names but recognized as part of Ottawa (their current status), i.e. [[Osgoode Township, Ontario]], [[Gloucester, Ontario]].
  • Neighbourhoods: Urban neighbourhoods are not disambiguated (example: [[New Edinburgh]]) unless another place exists in the world with the same name (example: [[Riverview (Ottawa]]). In this case, the pre-2001 municipality is used as a disambiguation. For rural villages like [[Greely, Ontario]], use ", Ontario" afterwards.
• Embassies: as [[Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Ottawa]] or [[Embassy of Iraq in Ottawa]] with a redirect from [[Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Canada]] or [[Embassy of Iraq in Canada]]. For an example see Category:Embassies and High Commissions in Ottawa.
  • High Commissions: as [[High Commission of the United Kingdom in Ottawa]] with a redirect from [[High Commission of the United Kingdom in Canada]]. For an example see Category:Embassies and High Commissions in Ottawa.
• Schools: as [[Brookfield High School (Ottawa)]] with a redirect from [[Brookfield High School]], or a disambiguation page if there is more than one school with this name. This does not apply to Colleges or Universities.

Notability

WikiProject Ottawa consensus is that the following criteria are sufficient, but not necessary conditions for notable articles:

• Politics: Ottawa and Gatineau's Mayor and Councillors; Mayors of surrounding municipalities; other local politicians as secondary sources (e.g. media coverage) warrants
• Roads: Roadways formally classified by the City of Ottawa as city freeway, arterial or major collector (Ottawa 2020 Transportation Master Plan, see roads in Maps 6 through 9)
• Embassies and High Commissions: All primary national diplomatic missions to Canada.
• (other subjects to be determined)
