Category:Historical buildings in the United States I can't work out what, if anything, would be the criteria for inclusion in this category. If it means something, there should be a clarifying note. There's not much in it; my suspicion is that that it should go away, and that anything here that is not already otherwise adequately categorized should go in Category:Buildings in the United States, or better yet a more geographically specific category. - Jmabel | talk 05:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC) The word "historical" carries the connotation of not being around anymore; otherwise, they'd just be "buildings" in the United States. Not all of the buildings in that category appear to fit that criterion, however. They may be "historic", which I would say probably does deserve a category, but I wouldn't call them all "historical". Powers 16:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, as far as I understand, the intent was probably "historic" rather than "historical", but even so: isn't that completely subjective? We have categories for well-defined things like Registered Historic Places. - Jmabel | talk 01:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC) I looked but couldn't find any such categories. I thought this was an attempt to rectify that, but I could be wrong. Could you point me to the registered historic places categories? Powers 19:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC) Category:National Register of Historic Places has all registered historic places in the US. --rimshottalk 16:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Building Cats with "historic" or "historical" are always problematic, because the criteria are blurry and people tend to throw everything in thats somehow old. For buildings that don't exist anymore we have Category:Former_buildings and similar, for buildings of historic value as mentioned cats like Category:National Register of Historic Places. This cat should IMHO be emptied and deleted asap. TomAlt (talk) 19:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)  Delete Ill-defined; redundant as above. Walter Siegmund (talk) 02:27, 15 November 2008 (UTC)  Delete in case I wasn't clear above. - Jmabel ! talk 00:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC) Empty and delete category; per concensus --Foroa (talk) 23 18, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
