Talk:Natatorium

Comment
Stricta sensu? Puh-lease. This is not the Latin Wikipedia. I'm changing to English. Nelson Ricardo 23:00, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Merge
I suggested this article to be merged with Swimming Pool. The article is currently a stub, and would do better as a section of Swimming Pool. If anyone has any comments, please place them below. -- Thedjatclubrock :-) (T/C) 01:47, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * i disagree, they are fundamentally different things.--Buridan (talk) 03:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I also disagree, for the same reason. I came to Wikipedia to look up natatorium and this article told me just what I wanted to know.  It's more of a short article than a stub, right? Uranographer (talk) 21:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I also disagree for the reason that this can be it's own article. Not everything has to be on one page. Just put a "see also" section on both swimming pool and natatorium, and it's fine... no? Nesnad (talk) 10:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I support OP's stance. It really messes up interwikis. Most languages don't have two articles on this topic. The German and Czech articles are simply titled what people in everyday life would call a swimming pool. --2001:16B8:31AD:8200:455B:EAB8:5939:746C (talk) 01:56, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Trivia
At Disney's Hollywood Studios, in the queue for the the Tower of Terror attraction, there is a sign for a Natatorium. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhagley (talk • contribs) 15:13, 31 March 2009 (UTC) Additionally, you will find a Natatorium in the movie: [|The X Files: I Want to Believe]

In its own building???
I could find no evidence that the word natatorum is strictly defined as a structurally separate building containing a swimming pool. The cited article, which is merely the official webpage for Penn State's swimming pool, only says the word natatorium means an indoor pool. No dictionary I looked at says that natatorium derives from the latin phrase cella natatoria.68.103.144.192 (talk) 22:43, 7 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Unsure about what to do about the Latin meaning, but I changed the intro to reflect a less strict stance on definition. If you find anything more, be bold and make additions. --Travis Thurston+ 22:51, 7 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Agreed that we need some better sourcing on that than what we have. If I find anything, I'll throw it up as a source.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:54, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Additional natatoriums
Maybe User:Barkeep49 can add these as he has rendered me unable to do so. FloridaArmy (talk) 13:15, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
