How is lido pronounced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.148.14 (talk) 16:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

It may be pronounced lie-doe or lee-doe, either is acceptable in the U.K. Of course the latter is how the Italians pronounce it! Lidos (talk) 14:33, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Added new section Pronunciation, as it's always being asked.

Anyone familiar with phonetic WP markup is welcome to add these too.

I assume one can't cut and paste the HTML which is ldō and ldō

Move

I'm moving the page from Lido (swimming pool) to Lido as this is the most common usage for Lido as can be shown by a simple WP:GOOGLETEST where all initial matches are for Lido in the swimming pool sense or places named because of the swimming pool rather than the Lido in Venice. A redirect will avoid any confusion.--Lidos (talk) 12:41, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

As outlined on your talk page, popularity is not the only criteria - but I think I cleaned up most of the consequences of this move. Please do use requested moves in future. Kbthompson (talk) 14:47, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

External links

I propose to remove the External Links to specific pools as they are adequately referenced on their own WP article.--Lidos (talk) 07:19, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Saltdean Lido - NOT the first Grade II* listed lido in the UK

A number of websites, including the BBC News pages given as sources here quote the mistaken assertion that Saltdean Lido in Brighton was the first UK lido to receive Grade II* listed status. Clifton Lido in Bristol was Grade II* listed in 1998:

http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1323692 I've reverted to the previous edit. 90.204.150.195 (talk) 01:15, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

I stand corrected. First time in my experience that a BBC citation has proven wrong! kencf0618 (talk) 02:32, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

How often do you check? :o)

The BBC website is generally pretty good, but journalists working to deadlines will sometimes quote a press release without properly checking the source. The origin of this error seems to lie with the Saltdean Lido Campaign:

I've sent them a note.

UK-specific term?

I've never seen this term applied to outdoor swimming pools in the USA. Kortoso (talk) 19:45, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

land-based ones, no, but i think a fair number of americans are familiar with "lido deck" on cruise ships now.

any hotels using it similarly? 73.238.106.68 (talk) 10:21, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Lido → Lido (swimming pool) – Moved (although without any apparent objection) back in 2009. It's not clear that this article satisfies the criteria of a primary topic; see Lido (disambiguation) In particular, Lido (musician) gets more pageviews, and Lido Finance could very well soon have an article [1]. See WP:NOPRIMARY. 162 etc. (talk) 17:18, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. There are 26 bulleted entries listed upon the Lido (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the four-sentence Lido stub delineates a subject of such renown that it dwarfs the combined notability of all the remaining entries. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:33, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
• Speedy support per nom, pretty clear cut.--Ortizesp (talk) 21:47, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
• Weak support the musician has more views (3,721) than the pool (3,167)[[2]] but the pool probbaly has more long-term significance but a DAB is probably fine given there are several other uses like places. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:01, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
