Talk:Holy place

Can we get some other religions listed here? -That makes sense — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.165.249 (talk) 01:14, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

--I agree. This would make both pages more specific. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.97.58.156 (talk) 01:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I added a Buddhism section as I know a bit about it but yeah this article still feels a little bare, could do with more religions being included.86.184.166.26 (talk) 01:23, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

10th century BCE
Can we add a scholarly reference for this. I am sure someone has a reference because so many books have been written on this subject. The current ref does not mention it. Not to mention it is not a R.S for this kind of statement. I am not sure but the date seems a little too Early to be valid. --Inayity (talk) 19:45, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Merging opinion
I think the list of religious sites is more of a focus on the place a religion is practiced and the holy places article has sites that a religion may value, require pilgrimage to, or are said by their religious text to be sacred. Dhov1901 (talk) 05:11, 04 December 2015 (UTC)

Holy places → Holy place – Singular seems more comme-il-faut, doesn't it? PPEMES (talk) 11:58, 30 March 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. --  Dane talk  23:09, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Normally I would be inclined to agree, but this is less an article on the concept of a holy place and more a collection of lists of holy places. —  AjaxSmack  21:50, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:SINGULAR. No evidence per Ngrams that the plural has any predominant use. Its got a good deal more prose than a standard list article, and at any case tht'd be placed at List of holy places. -- Netoholic @ 23:31, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Per WP:SINGULAR &mdash; falls under category of "classes of objects." --Comment by  Selfie City  ( talk about my  contributions ) 01:47, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. This article title does not seem to fall under any of the exceptions to our default use of singular titles listed at WP:PLURAL. This subject exists perfectly naturally as a singular title and I see no reason to break with our normal policies here. Rreagan007 (talk) 22:06, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Holy place or List of holy places. It's too broad and vaguely defined to be considered a class eligible for a plural title under WP:SINGULAR, IMO. That said, it currently functions more like a list so I wouldn't mind a rename to reflect that reality. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 02:24, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Merged to List_of_religious_sites
Merged content of page into List_of_religious_sites as the two pages substantially overlapped in content and focus. Darker Dreams (talk) 02:37, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
