Category talk:Gateway Arch National Park
While the Arch may be accurately called the 'Gateway Arch', the Park is not the Gateway Arch National Park. It is designated by Congressional Legislation at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial National Historic Site. Do we want to let 'common' naming become the standard where there is a 'official' name that can be identified. Like the natural worlds Linnaean taxonomy, common names from around the world have a single 'world' standard. While places may not, there are 'official' or at least preferential names based on public documents from various government or standards agencies. For the United States, there is the United States Board on Geographic Names, for Historic Sites, there are State Historic Registers and nationally, the National Register of Historic Places.
Thus, the NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY -- NOMINATION FORM (June 4, 1976) clearly call the park and the historic places as the Jefferson Nat'l Expansion Mem. The property consists of 3 historic components:
- Old St. Louis County Courthouse
- Gateway Arch
- Old Cathedral
Thus, the commons categories of Category:Gateway Arch, Category:Old St. Louis County Courthouse and Category:Basilica of St. Louis, King of France are appropriate or at least reasonable as sub-categories and the Category:Museum of Westward Expansion fits as it's a significant location/topic within the Gateway Arch complex. The over all listing should (in my opinion) be Jefferson National Expansion Memorial National Historic Site.
Redirects can be created to move public searches for Gateway Arch to Jefferson National Expansions Memorial National Historic Site. #REDIRECT [[name of the target page]] --Chris Light (talk) 16:22, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- Okay, caught up to the law. This place is now a National Park. What a waste. Politically, I disagree, but it's a Congressional thing. Let it stand.Chris Light (talk) 21:09, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
