Talk:Crenshaw Christian Center

help me
Presently First Church of Christ, Scientist (New York, New York) redirectd to this page. Crenshaw was for some years located in this: building, a notable building (historic designations, notable architect, etc.), constructed for a congregation that has since merged with Second Church of Christ, Scientist (Manhattan). Crenshaw moved out years ago and this old church building has been purchased by the Children's Museum of Manhattan. I believe that the term First Church of Christ, Scientist (New York, New York) should be redirected to Second Church of Christ, Scientist (Manhattan) and that such a move would be constructive and non-controversial. Problem is, I don't know how to accomplish such a move. Thanks.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:15, 3 January 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't think changing the redirect target on its own is a good idea. This article has detailed information on the building itself, much more than the Second Church of Christ, Scientist (Manhattan) article. Since this page also contains information on the building that's entirely unrelated to the congregation that originally built it, the article on the Second Church seems a bad place for that information. On the other hand, whether there's enough information for a separate article on the First Church is debatable; in the long term that probably is the best course of action. For now I've added a hatnote noting that the "First Church" redirect points here and providing the appropriate link for people interested in the Christian Science congregation.

 * {{ping|Huon}, this notable, landmarked, 1889 building was used for a few years by the Crenshaw Center, which sold it. The exterior is landmarked by the City and cannot be changed.  It was built as the First Church of Christ, Scientist (Manhattan) - which redirects here.  I would be happy to create an article on the notable  First Church of Christ, Scientist (Manhattan) building.  Linked to the congregation (which merged as detailed above); to Crenshaw; and to the Children's Museum of Manhattan, which is moving in with pending an renovation of the interior.  and linked from Central Park West and the architects Carrère and Hastings. This notable 1889 church building simply does not belong on the page of a California Church that operated a branch in the building for 9 years (2004-2013).E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:28, 5 January 2018 (UTC)


 * . I created a page for this Church, First Church of Christ, Scientist in Manhattan, including its history as both a congregation and as a building.  I will return to expand,  However, because of the attention being focused on the plan to renovate the building into a museum, I ask you to reconsider and hope that you will agree that First Church of Christ, Scientist (New York, New York) and First Church of Christ, Scientist (Manhattan) should  be redirected to First Church of Christ, Scientist in Manhattan here and First Church of Christ, Scientist in Manhattan should be renamed  First Church of Christ, Scientist (Manhattan).

 * Following the usual naming scheme for First Churches of Christ, Scientist I have moved the new article to First Church of Christ, Scientist (New York, New York). I'll clean up the redirects and disambiguation hatnotes. Huon (talk) 15:40, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
