List of American houses

Seems to be a completely arbitrary list. Pretty much the poster child for WP:Listcruft.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:04, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Can't say I understand the nomination at all. It only contains links to articles, and the intent seems to be complementary to Category:Houses in the United States. Probably best developed as a list of lists given how many articles on notable houses we likely have; the category is just a container for a well developed system of subcategories. postdlf (talk) 01:12, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Overhaul. This would be mighty unwieldy if it actually listed all the houses with articles. Probably best to break it down into a list of lists by state (as well as Puerto Rico, DC, etc.). Of course, this requires somebody to create 50+ lists to populate it. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:44, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see any problem with having this list per any WP policy. More easy to browse through to find something interesting than a category would be. In addition to other changes suggested it should be retitled "List of notable houses in the United States." Borock (talk) 04:41, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Per MOS, we don't include self-references like "notable" in list titles, a word that is really about WP criteria, not the content itself. And we don't need to have "notable" in the title to restrict a list to only notable entries, which is a common practice. postdlf (talk) 14:39, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep and breakdown further the suggestion of breaking down by state will help it be more navigable. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:56, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
