Changing title of this article to 45 Park Place

Hello there all, if any of you could change the tile of this article to 45 Park Place, there is work for a 50-story skyscraper with the given name, again, if any of you can change the title and subject of this article to the current 45 Park Place, edits for this article have been made to state the current condition of the site, thanks.

This is primarily about the canceled mosque, so it's unlikely that such a move will be done without a consensus of editors. epicgenius (talk) 14:09, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
@Hydromania: Why did you remove the updates from this article? I added them to resolve this talk page message. I don't think this page should be move, but nevertheless, these new additions were about the current condition of the site. Also, Park51 as originally planned is no longer being considered, as the plan is going forward for a 3-story cultural center in the new 45 Park Place building. epicgenius (talk) 13:14, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Regarding the lede?

Hey all, wanted to modify the head of the article to more accurately reflect why the proposed building was so controversial. It seems like the article is stepping around the subject. The head reads like this:

Park51 (originally named Cordoba House) is a development that was originally envisioned as a 13-story Islamic community center and mosque in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The developers hoped to promote an interfaith dialogue within the greater community. Due to its proposed location two blocks from the World Trade Center site, it was widely and controversially referred to as the "Ground Zero mosque".

From an international perspective, it doesn't really seem clear to me why it's controversial. I would submit the following for review:

Park51 (originally named Cordoba House) is a development that was originally envisioned as a 13-story Islamic community center and mosque in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The developers hoped to promote an interfaith dialogue within the greater community. Due to its proposed location two blocks from the World Trade Center site of the September 11 attacks, which were perpetrated by the Islamic terrorism group Al-Qaeda, the proposed building was widely and controversially referred to as the "Ground Zero mosque".

I get that the subject of this article is controversial as hell, so I'm asking other editors for thoughts. Appreciate it! <4 Kobentori (talk) 05:32, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Work not yet started on Islamic Center as of end of 2020

Park51

Should be labeled “Ground Zero Mosque” - I have nothing against Muslims but you’re supposed to label placed by their most commonly used name 47.185.231.7 (talk) 21:40, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
