Good article reassessment for Ben's Chili Bowl

Captain Nathan Hale (statue)
The article has been about the statue in Washington, D.C., even before my overhaul of the page. Would it make more sense to change the title to Captain Nathan Hale statue (Washington, D.C.) or something along those lines? There are several copies, and some can be seen in the article's gallery. APK hi :-) (talk) 11:27, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- @APK Perhaps Statue of Nathan Hale (Washington, D.C.). Any interest in creating Statue of Nathan Hale (Chicago), etc, for the other copies? ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:03, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Another Believer Yeah I like your suggestion better. I'm currently working on American Revolution Statuary (8 down, 6 more to go). I'll try to gather sources for the Chicago version when I'm done with my current project. APK hi :-) (talk) 04:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Website of the current occupant that just so happens to be occupying a NRHP property
The question is, should the website of the current tenant/business of NRHP buildings be included as EL or in infobox as the website? Graywalls (talk) 01:46, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- To me, it's a matter of notability. I don't think whatever fly-by-night business that happens to be occupying a property warrants inclusion in an article at all; however, if the business is a notable one, or if it's been an occupant long enough to have accumulated local/regional press, then it likely would be mentioned in the article's prose. At that point, depending on the degree of notability, it would then warrant an external link and possibly the link in the infobox. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 23:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with DrOrinScrivello on when to include the link and, looking at articles I created, I've put them both places. But maybe the infobox makes more sense if it is the original organization (like the church website) and the EL section makes sense if it's not the original purpose but a long-term occupant (like here). This is just a thought; I don't think either location is "wrong". RevelationDirect (talk) 01:46, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
neighborhood/historic district
If a neighborhood's boundaries are also the same boundaries for its historic district, should the name of the article be just the neighborhood's name or the name of the historic district? APK hi :-) (talk) 10:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- As a rule of thumb, if a historic district is mostly or entirely synonymous with a feature, they can be represented in the same article (with naming priority given to the locale's name, not the NRHP listing name). For example, some locales (like Deadwood, South Dakota) have HDs encompassing the entire site. It depends, I think, on coverage. If coverage of the historic district itself is far too extensive to fit comfortably, it can be split in that case. In almost every case, though, it's enough to merge them and create a redirect for the NRHP listing name. Template:Infobox NRHP can be embedded in the place infobox and relevant sections created as needed. – TCMemoire 17:27, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the advice. APK hi :-) (talk) 00:20, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Individually listed non-contributing properties to historic districts?
Generally, when a building is non-contributing to a historic district, we wouldn't care about it for this wikiproject. But I just created the article for the Danish Brotherhood in America Headquarters, which was individually listed in 2016 when it turned 50 years old. The nomination form mentioned that it was within the Gold Coast Historic District (Omaha, Nebraska) but was listed as a non-contributing property because, at the time, it was only 31 years old. I expected to see that text followed with something like "and we're requesting it be added at this time" but it didn't.
The historic district nomination form does list 3717 Harney as non-contributing but doesn't say why. I looked for updates on the Gold Coast Historic District that reclassified the property, but didn't see any. (This wouldn't be a an increase per se, since the building sits squarely within the original boundary.)
Clearly, this is an obscure question, but is this really an individually listed non-contributing property to a historic district? - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:30, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
