	== Utah architects ==

	I've created a good many articles on Utah architects in the past, and recently have been cooperating with ], and we both have been creating more. Could we sort of keep track here for a while, and maybe discuss standards if that might be helpful? Or maybe just share about all that is going on, and hope some others might be able to help with some questions? I copy in a question or two raised by Zigzig20s elsewhere, and ask some more. --] (]) 20:08, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

	There is ], now with 31 members, probably already covering the more major historic architects in the state. I bet some of them were started by me but left fairly incomplete. It includes:
	*]
	*], article has a link to ] (currently a redlink), HWB's son
	*], created by Doncram in 2011, is very short, just covers two works

	Recent new articles started by Z or me include:
	*] -- what is his relationship to ]?
	:They were brothers. A quick search at familysearch.org clears that up. ] (]) 21:14, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
	*]
	*]
	*] -- NRIS2013a search shows just ] (1909-10), in Ogden, but he also probably co-designed NRHP-listed ] in Brigham City (1914).
	*]
	*]
	*]
	*]
	*]

	===notability and merging===
	What do we think is enough to make an architect Misplaced Pages-notable? In the past i created articles for every architect i could find who had designed 5 or more NRHP-listed works, which are pretty major works usually. Now I create articles with fewer works. I almost always would not create an article for someone with just one NRHP listing. What about two, as for ]? Sometimes if an architect only created a few major works, it might be better to cover them in an article about an architectural firm that trained them, maybe. I don't recall myself ever merging already-separated articles back, though. --] (]) 20:28, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
	:I oppose merging them. They were created as stubs and can/will be expanded. First we need to figure out if they designed more NRHP-listed buildings; and then they probably designed many more buildings not on the NRHP.] (]) 22:45, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
	:For example we need to find the buildings designed by ] in Idaho.] (]) 00:05, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

	===Scowcrofts===
	Side question: by any chance was ] founded by ]'s ancestors? There is also ], designed by ].
	:Yes. Heber Scowcroft was Brent Scowcroft's grandfather. ] (]) 21:14, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
	::Wow, that's really interesting. Perhaps it could be added to his 'early life' section.] (]) 22:47, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

	===sources===
	*Obituaries are always good, are found with more skill by Z than me.
	*] article has Allen D. Roberts source which might cover a bunch more?<ref name=Sunstone>

	== Formatting Utah State Preservation Office historic site doc references ==

	Hey, {{ping\|Zigzig20s}} and {{ping\|Ntsimp}} and anyone else interested in this exciting topic!?! :) It probably doesn't matter much but there's been some variation in how we format references to Utah State forms, and maybe there is a best way or maybe not. Maybe we could share thoughts?
	Take for example for ] as an example (where i happened to change the formatting by , but i am not sure about it).

	Three minor questions:
	*1) publisher? For documents we are linking to URLs at NPS, I have been putting ] as publisher because the NPS has "published" these documents in terms of putting them out on the web. As opposed to some cases where we really are getting it from a Utah State webpage. Or say ] because that is the entity which was collecting the documents and possibly "publishing" them somehow, at least presumably filing them and making them available upon request probably? Sometimes a Utah state or even a local version is available/published in form not yet including signatures, dates, stamps that eventually appear in version published by NPS, potentially with content changes too.
	*2) state the word "Form" in the title or not... i sorta prefer not to say that, because i think it is a blank form until it is filled out and then it is something else, a nomination or an assessment/identification of historic merit.
	*3) state how much text in the title out of three available lines? Putting all three in would give long title, maybe punctuated by slash ("/") marks: "Utah State Historical Society / Historic Preservation Research Information / Structure/Site Information: Cramer House". I have been omitting the middle line, "Historic Preservation Research Office", and just saying ""Utah State Historical Society Structure/Site Information: Cramer House", with no slash for the line change. Maybe it would be better to convert "Structure/Site" to "Structure-Site", too.

	I do think it doesn't really matter which ways are chosen, or even if we are inconsistent, but could anyone else opine about 1, 2, 3?

	Or, hmm, should this question be taken to some noticeboard, maybe ]? Or perhaps better, ask in terms of what would be preferred in articles being nominated for "Good" or "Featured" status? Maybe/probably the exact formatting does matter for articles to get promoted, so ask editors/regulars at ] and/or ]? --] (]) 17:54, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

	:Nope, actually! It seems to be the name for what became ], in Salt Lake City. The article reports it was an academy which never grew into the university it was intended to be. I do think BYU is the top LDS-associated university, but I recall learning somewhere that ] founded three colleges/universities (including the one that became BYU).

	Just a heads up that it appears that the Sim Gill page is getting edited by the Sim Gill Campaign. Or at the least by people who want to make him look good, rather than remain neutral. Over the past month, I have restored the article to its original state multiple times. Someone keeps removing controversy section, adding a list of his awards, and spinning all events of his life to sound like a campaign brochure. I think it would be worthwhile to keep an eye on the page, and further discus which sections are appropriate and which are not.
