Category talk:Destroyed cities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a somewhat odd selection of cities, isn't it? Most ancient cities have been destroyed at one time or another, and lumping them up together with thriving cities that have ancient roots and cities that have recently been devestated by disaster seems a bit loose to me.--Doron 12:54, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cfd?

I think someone should nominate this for Category for deletion... David 12:15, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

I think we should think it through on what we want to do. Right now, I put it as a subset of Category:Lost cities and towns, but only the cities that were not rebuilt or substantially declined could really be a subset. Do we need a "destroyed cities" cat if we have the lost cities cat? I don't know. --Noitall 18:40, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

I'd split the section up into two categories: Category:Lost cities and towns and Category:Destroyed and rebuilt cities and towns. CrazyC83 21:05, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category either badly named or badly applied

Someone seems to have been using this category as if were something like "Cities that experienced catastrophies" or "Cites that suffered devastation". Many cities in the category were not destroyed. As nothing has yet been done to remedy the problems noted for some 3 months, I am going to start removing non destroyed cities from this category. -- Infrogmation 19:33, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Port Royal and New Orleans are destroyed cities. So are San Francisco and Chicago, but these towns got rebuilt.
