Talk:List of prisons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I split this out from Prisons since that article is now getting long enough to be able to stand without the padding of a list. I trust that's acceptable to everyone? --Tagishsimon 21:51, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Ontario Prisons
I brought over the list of functioning correctional facilities from the Correctional Facilities of Ontario, Canada, but stopped short of merging the list completely. The separate entry for Ontario facilities also lists decommissioned and historical facilities in Ontario with links to specific pages for some. The separate list also provides a description explaining for provincial facilities differ from federal.--Jeff Johnston 20:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

How are these prisons being selected for notability? Kappa 22:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I split them out from a list of prisons in prison, mainly because they were taking up too much space. So in actual reality, I've no idea. There wasn't really a standard, did you want to try to hash one out? To start with, we definitely need to limit it to bluelinked prisons. Anything that's a redlink can't be notable. Maybe that's enough, I don't know. If not...maybe some kind of standard for media coverage or historical notability? ♠PMC♠ 08:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Edit: And I apparently didn't notice that there was already a list of prisons. That was clever work, on my part. Wow.
- Well unless there's a strong desire to create a separate of the most notable prisons, on the lines of list of important operas, the easiest option is to let this get merged to the main list. Finding objective criteria is hard work. Kappa 09:14, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Prisons
If anyone is interested, I have proposed a new Wikiproject concerning prisons here.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 22:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
