Talk:Lime Rock, Connecticut

Separate NRHP HD article or not

A bunch of editors have been debating (elsewhere) when and where it is helpful to have separate articles on NRHP HDs, like about "Lime Rock Historic District", vs. when it is best to include the NRHP info in an article about a village/hamlet/neighborhood like this "Lime Rock (Salisbury)" article (which i think should be moved to "Lime Rock, Connecticut" or "Lime Rock, Salisbury, Connecticut", but that is a different issue).

Some of the editors (me included) agree that for Lime Rock and Lime Rock HD we currently want a merged article. But if there is someone who wants to make a decent separate article, that would be okay too. We just ask, please don't split out a separate NRHP HD article unless a) you have created or are actively developing a DYK-equivalent length starter article using substantial information, and b) you judge in good faith that it is beneficial to have the NRHP HD be a separate article.

Note, for all CT NRHPs, a good source is available, the NRHP nomination document, provided free of charge upon email request to nr_reference (at) nps.gov. And, in December 2010, the National Register has just made available online copies of almost all of the NRHP documents for CT: see search screen here.

Currently, "Lime Rock Historic District" is set to redirect to "Lime Rock (Salisbury)". (Equivalent notice being placed at Talk:Lime Rock Historic District.) --doncram (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Lime Rock (Salisbury) → Lime Rock, Connecticut — Rename for consistency with US geographic naming conventions. This place is well known as the location of a racetrack generally referred to as "Lime Rock, Connecticut", whereas "Lime Rock (Salisbury)" probably would not recognized by anyone who lives more than 5 miles away from the place. This request is related to the batch of active move requests at Talk:Blue Hills (Bloomfield), but it is different because Lime Rock is not a census-designated place. The current name seems to have been given to the article as a result of a misguided theory that it is somehow contrary to Wikipedia guidelines for the titles of articles for sub-town U.S. places to include the name of the state. --Orlady (talk) 05:46, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

• Support - But as Lime Rock, Salisbury, Connecticut as we did with Long Hill, Trumbull, Connecticut. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 12:52, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

But the only reason for including "Trumbull" in the Long Hill example is disambiguation, due to the existence of two different places in Connecticut called "Long Hill". I am not aware of any other "Lime Rocks" in Connecticut -- do you know of one? --Orlady (talk) 15:24, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

No, but OTOH including the town name does clarify where in the state it is at first glance and does not confuse it with being a town. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 16:07, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Your comment relates, then, to the entire topic of naming sub-town areas in the state of Connecticut. --Orlady (talk) 16:54, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I guess it does! Best, Markvs88 (talk) 18:01, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

• Comment - Obviously, as nominator I support this. A piece of evidence in support of the proposed new name is the existence of 9 article links to "Lime Rock, Connecticut" -- Special:WhatLinksHere/Lime Rock, Connecticut. --Orlady (talk) 16:54, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
• Support move as proposed. To Markvs88, I think "Lime Rock, Connecticut" is recognizable from that name as a community or other place in Connecticut; a reader can look at its article to detect which town it is in, which county it is in, and other details. I don't think either "Lime Rock (Salisbury)" or "Lime Rock, Salisbury, Connecticut" would be used in common speech or in newspaper bylines or in other common usage; "Lime Rock, Connecticut" suffices and is consistent with other place naming. --Doncram (talk) 17:00, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
• Support: if it's the only Lime Rock in Connecticut, we don't need the Salisbury, unless it's a neighborhood in Salisbury Purplebackpack89 17:13, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
• Support I had assumed the current title referred to as suburb of the Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. Skinsmoke (talk) 01:22, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Hamlet, not village

Isn't Lime Rock a hamlet, not a village? 63.247.160.139 (talk) 21:51, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

"Hamlet" is not a term commonly used in Connecticut. Generally, any named locality usually surrounded by rural area is called a village. --Polaron | Talk 00:45, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
