The metro stations Fabre, Iberville and St. Michel are not in the St. Michel District of Montreal. They are in François-Perreault. While it's true the St. Michel Metro used to be part of the St. Michel district, François-Perreault was created and it now holds the 3 metros. For reference: http://www.navurb.com/nu_inter/index.html
Well it all depends of what definition you give to the term "district". If it's for the electoral district, then you're right, the stations are no longer in the Saint-Michel electoral district.
However, if we are referring to the neighbourhood or former city of Saint-Michel (which I believe this is what this article is about), then those metros stations are still part of it since I have yet to hear a neighbourhood in Montreal by the name of François-Perreault. While I'm not 100% sure that Fabre and D'Iberville metros stations are in the territory of the former city of Saint-Michel, I know St-Michel station is. For this time, I have reverted your edit but if you find informations about Fabre and D'Iberville not being part of the former city of Saint-Michel, feel free to remove them from the article. There is a possibility that those 2 stations are in the Villeray neighbourhood, not Saint-Michel.
If you go to the website and overlay the metro layer and the district layer you will see the 3 metro stations are in François-Perreault and not Saint-Michel
"The 1990s saw Saint-Michel's reputation tarnished by its severe street gang problems and the negative propaganda surrounding the whole situation. In consequence, Saint-Michel was long viewed as one of Montreal's most dangerous inner city neighborhoods. Although these problems persist to this day, the phenomenon seems better controlled."
This needs clarification from sensationalism and some references please. Mars2mogwai (talk) 23:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
As per WP:CANSTYLE#Neighbourhoods, this article should be moved to Saint-Michel, Montreal. In accordance with the guideline, however, the move is first being raised on the talk page. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I think the page Saint-Michel-de-Laval should be merged into this article since Saint-Michel de Laval corresponds exactly to what is today the St-Michel neighborhood. All the infos and categories on Saint-Michel-de-Laval can simply be added on this page. The Saint-Michel-de-Laval page does not offer anything that cannot be included in this article.
Keep in mind that, except for the Old Montreal section, all neighbourhoods in Montreal were once idependent cities at one timeline or another. Having seperate articles for the former city of St-Michel-de-Laval and the Saint-Michel neighborhood is like having seperate articles for the Verdun borough and the former city of Verdun. It's pretty much pointless.
