Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/English historic houses, gardens by county

English historic houses by county and gardens by county categories listed for deletion on March 19, 2005. No clear consensus so marked Unresolved.

I created three subcategories of category:historic houses in England for English counties: category:Historic houses in Bedfordshire, category:Historic houses in Buckinghamshire, and category:Historic houses in Norfolk. I now thing this was a mistake and that visitor attraction categories such as category:visitor attractions in Leicestershire are more appropriate at county level as only a minority of the historic house categories would reach double figures any time soon. This proposal does not apply to category:historic houses in London however. That one has over 30 articles aleady and should double that and more eventually, and it is a subcategory of two categories which already have over two hundred entries each, and will acquire plenty more. There are some notable historic houses which are not visitor attractions, but they can be placed in "buildings" categories. Wincoote 14:27, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• The same applies to the two gardens by county categories I created: category:gardens in Buckinghamshire and category:gardens in Norfolk. There are lists by county for both historic houses and gardens. Wincoote 22:46, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Historic houses by county is fine; no reason not to keep them. They should, of course, be sub-cats of their county's visitor attractions category, but we should keep them. Same goes for gardens. James F. (talk) 00:22, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
