Talk:AIA Guide to New York City

Untitled
Text edited to be undenably original....(in own words!)

removed link to different Elliot Willensky
I removed a wiki link to a coauthor that led to Elliot Willensky, who wrote Michael Jackson's first hit and was most definitely not the coauthor and architect, who died in 1990 at the age of 56. These names should be disambiguated, but I am not familiar enough with the proper way to do this.

 * We have no article on Elliot Willensky the architect, nor apparently any articles that even mention him except as author of this book, so it is appropriate to leave him unlinked. Thanks.  Jim.henderson (talk) 12:01, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * At Elliot Willensky (1943–2010), I added a hatnote distinguishing the composer from the architectural historian Elliot Willensky (1934–1990) who co-authored the AIA Guide to New York City, referenced in hundreds of Wikipedia articles via Template:Cite AIA4 and Template:Cite aia5. I also removed the incorrect link Elliot Willensky from the templates. If anyone is inclined to create an article for what's currently the red-link Elliot Willensky (architectural historian), there's a decent obituary at https://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/27/obituaries/elliot-willensky-writer-of-guide-to-new-york-buildings-dies-at-56.html, summarizing his career as an architect, author, vice-chair of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, and official Borough Historian of Brooklyn. —173.68.139.31 (talk) 03:33, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
