[edit] Famous Squares in New Orleans

Famous Squares in New Orleans (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Even those who subscribe to the notion of laissez les bon temps roulez will have problems with this this highly subjective list. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Unneeded and dubious (several on the list I've never heard of, and I live in New Orleans have collected old maps of the city). -- Infrogmation (talk) 01:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Per nom. asenine say what? 06:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. How could they be "famous" if 80% of them are red-linked? If they really are, then they deserve a page of their own or a redirect to New Orleans. If more information on each individual square later merited a true page of their own, then a category would suffice. I think we're a long way from having this list page be appropriate or useful.  Frank  |  talk  12:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Famous squares in New Orleans? I understand that Pat Boone went there during Mardi Gras... Mandsford (talk) 13:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Louisiana-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 16:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. At the moment the two blue links could be included in Famous streets of New Orleans, an obvious category header per WP:CLS (which should just be List of streets in New Orleans). --Dhartung | Talk 23:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Actually, the two blue links (Jackson Square, New Orleans and Congo Square) could also go into a List of Registered Historic Places in New Orleans, Louisiana article. I don't know if the other squares are contributing properties to historic districts or not. I read one link about how Lafayette Square was an important location in the history of jazz music in New Orleans. For now, though, I'll just go with a delete on this list since it has rather substandard presentation and doesn't give much context on these squares. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 04:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is a very short, undeveloped list of mostly red links. If there is potential here, someone will develop a better article in the future. --AnnaFrance (talk) 17:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete This is just a list with no information. — Wenli (reply here) 02:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
