Alexis, Alberta - redirect it here?

[edit]

I just looked up the coords from CGNDB and added them; at the same location a "locality" is listed, as is often the case with IR listings in both CGNDB and in BC Names; the source for this for the CGNDB listing is the Alberta Geographical Names Program of the Alberta Culture ministry, which doesn't have item-pages. Should Alexis, Alberta just be redirected here? Or a separate article listing all things in the locality (I'll do a radius search at CGNDB and be back to see what maybe might warrant a separate page).Skookum1 (talk) 02:16, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The CGNDB listing says "location: 11-55-4-W5". Wondering about using those designations in some day, either as categories or templates for each, or actual articles, not familiar with the system or its usage.Skookum1 (talk) 02:36, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nearly all Alberta localities recognized by StatCan in the 2006 census have been redirected to their census subdivision article. See Lac Ste. Anne County's localities and its redirects. Although StatCan did not recognize Alexis as a locality within this IR in the 2006 census, I would redirect as there are other sources for locality listings such as the CGNDB.

The location listed is its Alberta Township System legal description, a variant of the Dominion Land Survey. The true point of the locality is somewhere with one square mile known as Section 11, Township 55, Range 4, west of the 5th Meridian. Looking at Lac Ste. Anne County's land ownership map, it appears to be at the crossroads near the lake crossing where there is a higher density of development. Hwy43 (talk) 06:34, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so they're like BC's Land Districts, sounds like. I looked it up on toporama/Atlas of Canada, there's a whole bunch of localities within it. Someone else has started Land District categories for BC, I only did the List of Land Districts of British Columbia....citations such as BC Names (formerly BCGNIS) use the Land District designations only btw.Skookum1 (talk) 09:22, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
the other Alexis Indian Reserves in Alberta, they're not the same locality I think; could you please look at them (listed on the band page) and suggest where they should redirect to, if they should?Skookum1 (talk) 09:26, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No redirecting of the 3 other IR articles are required IMO. Hwy43 (talk) 04:50, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On some BC band pages, I'd gotten to adding latlongs from the cites, and adding Geogroup template so all the often-widely-spaced IRs could be shown on one map; the same will work on categories on individual articles...time-consuming to do. Haven't finished some pages, like always I got distracted elsewhere.Skookum1 (talk) 09:03, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
