Talk:St Augustine's Church, Salisbury

Latest comment: 6 years ago by Paine Ellsworth in topic Requested move 15 January 2018

Heritage status of old St Augustine's Church

edit

Although proposed in 1991, the old St Augustine's Church and presbytery are not listed in the South Australian Heritage Places Database. In contrast, St John's Anglican Church is listed, although its construction was only a year earlier than construction began on St Augustine's, and St John's seems to be a less impressive building (based on description). St Augustine's is listed by the Australian Government Department of Environment and Energy as an "indicative place," which means that it had been entered into the Register of the National Estate, but a formal nomination had not been made and they did not have sufficient details for an assessment.

Salisbury Catholic Parish SA → ? – The abbreviation SA will not be obvious to non-Australians, and an alternative is to move to a namespace that focuses the article on the notable heritage building. There are a number of possible names based on WP:CRITERIA:

  • RecognizabilitySalisbury Catholic Parish, or Old St Augustine's Catholic Church as the name people familiar with the building use to differentiate it from the newer building nearby.
  • NaturalnessSalisbury Catholic Parish, South Australia as suggested by Peterkingiron, or Old St Augustine's Catholic Church (Salisbury, South Australia) modeled after the other churches listed at St. Augustine Catholic Church.
  • PrecisionSalisbury Roman Catholic Parish, South Australia, or St Augustine's Catholic Church and Cemetery (Salisbury, South Australia) modeled after articles listed at St. Augustine Catholic Church and Cemetery and the listing in the heritage registry.
  • ConcisenessSalisbury Catholic Parish is enough because there is no existing article at that namespace, or St. Augustine's Catholic Church, Salisbury.
  • ConsistencySalisbury Roman Catholic Parish modeled after other article names such as Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Adelaide, or St Augustine's Catholic Church (Salisbury, South Australia) modeled after the other churches listed at St. Augustine Catholic Church.

I prefer Old St Augustine's Catholic Church because I consider the building the notable topic in the article, this seems to be a name used by people familiar with the building, it is not too long, and I prefer to avoid disambiguators when possible. It could be listed at St. Augustine Catholic Church and Cemetery and St. Augustine Catholic Church to help people find the article about the historic building, and there could be a redirect from the existing namespace for people interested in the parish. – Jack N.
