Visitor attractions in Paris
No need for this list: category already exists covering same topic Cordless Larry 13:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ditto List of museums in Paris. Cordless Larry 13:23, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep both. The list of "visitor attractions" is annotated to explain what each entry is.  The list of museums is about 50% redlinks.  All that information would be lost if we just kept the categories.  Postdlf 14:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep the list. It does deliver more information.  Someone once said that categories would replace the lists on wikipedia, but it hasn't worked that way.  Bejnar 04:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. We're an encyclopedia, not a travel guide. --Calton | Talk 04:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep but rename properly to List of visitor attractions in Paris. Paris is just about the only city (perhaps Rome or Athens?) that is so densely packed with world-famous, um, "attractions", so we can make an exception. I'm trying to think of a more encyclopedic word that will include churches and monuments. --Dhartung | Talk 07:35, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I like "landmarks" myself&mdash;its application doesn't depend on whether the location is frequented by tourists.  Postdlf 14:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Trouble with "landmarks" is that it also has a formal meaning, i.e. buildings designated as landmarks by an authority. --Dhartung | Talk 12:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think anyone would assume we're being that specific, if the title is something like List of landmarks in Paris; there's no suggestion that any formal designation is involved because no authority is named. Postdlf 14:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep both; redlinks in lists encourage expansion. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 18:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
