Why this record matters
“Fredericton-York” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Fredericton-York, provincial and electoral provides the most credible route into that argument.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16981389. Authority coordinates are 46.109, -66.740. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
