Talk:Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec

GM

The sentence beginning "Until last year, when General Motors shut its doors" needs to be rewritten to use a specific date or year, since it will become outdated within a year (if it has not already). However, my web searches haven't turned up any references to the closing mentioning the actual date, so I can't fix this. Steve Summit 13:31, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

• Lots of pages mention the announcement in 2001 that the plant would close in 2002, but mentions of the actual closure are indeed hard to find. (The weird thing is that this even applies to GM's own annual reports for 2002 and 2003. They both mention the announcement because there were accounting issues applicable to it, but not the actual closure, unless acroread's search of the PDFs missed something.) Anyway, here's a confirmation: it was indeed 2002 (and thus "last year" was already wrong when written). I've fixed the article. 207.176.159.90 23:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Only Assembly Plant in Canada Outside of Ontario

I can't speak to possible locations in Western Canada, but I know that Volvo has long since operated a successful assembly plant in Nova Scotia. Thus, the statement that it was the only Canadian automobile assembly plant outside of Ontario is wrong.

It's probably meant to speak about Auto-Pact companies (GM, Ford, Chrysler) 70.51.10.188 (talk) 03:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, as far as I know, the GM plant was part of Boisbriand, the neighboring town. So someone should probably remove that statement. 24.203.73.70 (talk) 02:38, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Sainte-Thérèse → Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec – Better name, clarifying this is a place not the saint, and where it is in the world. I do not believe this place is recognized world-wide as the primary usage of the term. BTW i came here from discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_April_17 about related category, which is and has long been, properly, Category:Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec. Move to match the category. Doncram (talk) 18:54, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

• Support, and move DAB to base name.--Ortizesp (talk) 23:29, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, Sainte Thérèse (disambiguation), which covers places and saints named "Sainte Thérèse" and "Sainte-Thérèse" should be moved to "Sainte Thérèse" or "Sainte-Thérèse", with the other variation redirecting there. It is a combo dab for all nearly-the same terms. --Doncram (talk) 00:32, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose Firstly, at Sainte Thérèse (disambiguation) no other article uses the same exact name (they have some additional parts in the name, such as -de-Blainville, de-la-Gatineau, station, assembly, etc). Secondly, this is English Wikipedia where Sainte-Thérèse properly is Saint Teresa. The name is ambiguous in the French language, but not in English. We can always put a relevant hatnote, if anything.

The name is ambiguous. Where there exists tiny variations that many/most readers will not know enough about to attend to and understand, it serves readers best to have what might be called a "combo dab" by the few who know all about everything anyhow. And you don't know what all usage is; you simply don't know whether in Blainville, or in certain literature, or wherever, that "Sainte-Thérèse" doesn't mean someplace else. I highly doubt that if a hyphen is used, that every single person in the world knows that cannot ever mean a saint person, especially as you agree it is that way in French. So I highly disagree with your wish to make a false distinction here. I guess we have to agree to disagree about that. --Doncram (talk) 11:45, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

• Support. No clear primary topic. All the churches will be commonly referred to as Sainte-Thérèse for a start. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:35, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
• Support I agree with Brandmeister insofar as this is English Wikipedia where Sainte-Thérèse properly is Saint Teresa. However, enough formal names are used by English speakers about French speaking areas, that further clarity is warranted. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
