Talk:Geospatial analysis

Lack of citations—POV tag
no citations other than a link to a online PDF.

Removed the 2-year old POV tag since there was no discussion referring to POV. No comments at all except the unsigned statement seen above.chad78 (talk) 04:41, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

This article is about an adjective—it should be about a noun
The content of this article should be moved elsewhere to support notable aspects of geospatially based disciplines. Alternatively, it could be renamed "Geospatial analysis," which would be a notable topic if it's not already covered elsewhere. This would allow for better use of citations. The adjective itself is not demonstrably notable, so the article should not be based on that title. If the word "geospatial" were notable, there would be articles about that word.

 * I moved this article from Geospatial to fix this problem. "Geospatial analysis" is the dominant theme of the article. It still has many other problems. User:HopsonRoad 16:28, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * In the future, please use the Move button to rename articles. Cut&paste moves create a number of problems, and require Administrator abilities to fix.  I've fixed the cut&paste move you did this time.  Just please use the Move button in the future. - TexasAndroid (talk) 17:47, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your work and advice, TexasAndroid. I'm unfamiliar with the Move button, but will seek your advice in the unlikely instance that I might feel a need to rename an article in the future. User:HopsonRoad 00:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Relating to what is being discussed at the bottom, I propose to rename the article "Geospatial Science" (a field which includes geospatial analysis) and begin expanding it with brief subsections on the various disciplines (including analysis). These could contain external links to existing articles on Geodesy, GIS, Cartography, Remote Sensing and other technical methods, while also explaining how multidisciplinary Geospatial Science derives from other fields like geography, geology, demography, computer science, etc. The "Environmental Science" article is an example of a broad article on a multidisciplinary field instead of having isolated island articles on the sub-specializations (like Geospatial Analysis, Geospatial Intelligence, etc.) I am not an experienced Wikipedia editor so I am not sure if I simply go for it or we reach consensus first then begin construction? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.242.57.132 (talk) 16:50, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Additionally, there is already a larger article on "Spatial Analysis" which overlaps significantly with the topic of "Geospatial Analysis". Merging "Geospatial Analysis" as a section of a broader "Geospatial Science" article/portal and linking the section head to "Spatial analysis" for further reading seems reasonable, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.242.57.132 (talk) 17:05, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Stub for a "Geospatial" article
With the "geospatial analysis" content moved, there is still a need for a "geospatial" article. Having worked in the "geospatial industry" for over 10 years, I'd say "Geospatial refers domains involving geographic and location-based content. Geospatial is encompassing term commonly used to refer to Geographic Information System, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS / GPS), remote sensing, web mapping, spatial database, amongst others." What do you think? -- Lordsatri (talk) 19:33, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I came here with similar thoughts. There should be a "Geospatial Science" article. Geospatial Analysis, Geographic Information Systems, Cartography, Geodesy, etc., have all really become part of the larger Geospatial field (plus a lot of computer science), yet it does not have its own dedicated article. I feel like the separate articles are so specific that we are preaching to the choir -- people who already understand the context of those sub-fields. This is equivalent to having articles dealing with specific planets and stars and stellar phenomenon but forgetting to create an "astronomy" page to bring it all together. I am not an experienced Wikipedia editor so I won't dare to just go for it on my own, but I am more than willing to contribute (B.S. and M.S. in Geospatial Science). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.72.17.161 (talk) 19:11, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The article "Geospatial Intelligence" is another example of a highly specific geospatial sub-discipline having its own article (mostly relating about intelligence and military organizations which focus on geospatial data) and highlighting the absence of a main Geospatial Science page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.242.57.132 (talk) 16:43, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Now we have geospatial (disambiguation). fgnievinski (talk) 03:04, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
