Talk:Canaan Village Historic District

Separate NRHP HD article or not
A bunch of editors have been debating when and where it is helpful to have separate articles on NRHP HDs, like about "Canaan Village Historic District", vs. when it is best to include the NRHP info in an article about a village/hamlet/neighborhood like "Canaan (CDP), Connecticut" article (which, by the way, should probably be moved to "Canaan, Connecticut", but that is another issue).

Some of the editors (me included) agree that for Canaan Village HD and Canaan, CT we currently want a merged article. But if there is someone who wants to make a decent separate article on the NRHP HD, 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, "Canaan Village Historic District" is set to redirect to "Canaan (CDP), Connecticut". (Equivalent notice being placed at Talk:Canaan (CDP), Connecticut.) --doncram (talk) 20:43, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
