Little Niagara exhibit
- ... that the tourist attraction Little Canada (Little Niagara pictured) has a Littlization Station used to create scale 3D replicas of visitors to be placed in the exhibit?

- ALT1: ... that Little Canada (Little Niagara pictured) has a model of the Rogers Centre stadium with a functional scoreboard showing highlights from the previous day?

Moved to mainspace by Mindmatrix (talk). Self-nominated at 19:25, 30 October 2021 (UTC).
- Comment: so, I was in the process of de-orphaning the article and came across Little Canada (tourist attraction). That article was started 2 weeks after this one (Little Canada (attraction)), but created in the article namespace directly, whereas this one was moved there recently. Irrespective of that, this qualifies as either moved to mainspace or 5x expansion depending on how this duplicate article conflict is resolved. Which leaves the question: should these be merged, or a redirect created (and if so, in which direction)? Also, which title should it use? Once this is resolved, I'll de-orphan the article as necessary. Mindmatrix 15:26, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
The above issue has been resolved (see also Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board#The Little Canadas). This should (probably) be reviewed on the basis of a 5x expansion compared to the original article (see this version of the duplicate article). Mindmatrix 19:53, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
New and long enough (regardless of whether it's considered new or an expansion), within policy, Earwig finds no copyvios, QPQ done. Hooks check out, prefer original or ALT1. Image is fine because Canada has freedom of panorama for public 3D art. Good to go!
