Category:Architecture in the Ottoman Empire

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:36, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Architecture in the Ottoman Empire to Category:Ottoman architecture
 * Nominator's rationale: Although I included this in the nomination Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_October_2, I now think that was a mistake. This should revert to Ottoman architecture, like Category:Byzantine architecture and various period/region-based sub-cats of Category:Islamic architecture & Category:Arabic architecture. – Fayenatic  L ondon 19:47, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  09:32, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: this nomination depends on reading "Ottoman architecture" as a period or style rather than as a country. Pro: the lead article is Ottoman architecture which says, "Ottoman architecture is the architectural style that developed under the Ottoman Empire." The category also has extensive sub-cats by country e.g. and by building type e.g. . Con: it does have one sub-cat for a different architectural period or style, ; I suggest that this should be moved up, and linked using "see also" rather than as a sub-cat. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:52, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  10:48, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Query "Note: this nomination depends on reading "Ottoman architecture" as a period or style rather than as a country." Is it established that Ottoman architecture is definitely a period or style? Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:19, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * That's a good question. Many guides to architectural styles do not include it (but that might be due to Western cultural bias). The lead article covers multiple (sub-?)periods/styles including Early Ottoman architecture, Classical Ottoman architecture and Ottoman Baroque architecture. When I made this nomination I did not realise that the word "style" has only very recently been inserted into the lede of Ottoman architecture by R Prazeres. I now think that word should be removed. However, Ottoman is still notably an architectural period in the history of several countries, e.g. Libya, so Category:Ottoman architecture by country and it sub-cats should not be renamed. Moreover, the Diyanet Center of America is stated to be built in the Ottoman style (uncited but looks right), but America was never in the Ottoman Empire. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:44, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * In that case Keep and create as a new category Category:Ottoman architecture which permits buildings that are outside the empire. Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:10, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Support move (or another alternative). I think we've been overthinking the semantics of category names a little and we're trying to ascertain questions that scholars of these topics arem't necessarily concerned with. Ottoman architecture is both a stylistic and chronological designation. It's probably closer in concept to something like Category:Mughal architecture or perhaps Category:Ming dynasty architecture. There is clearly a distinct style that anyone familiar with the topic would recognize, and as Dogan Kuban (for example) explains in his long volume (e.g. p.679; book also cited throughout the main article), it is a style that is primarily found in the center of the empire and some of its most dependent provinces, while beyond these areas it is either absent or blended variably into local traditions. The issue is also complicated by a 600-year development, with uneven levels of change across this period. Frankly, this is how many non-Western architectural history topics are treated, so I'm nervous about trying to make each potential category fit into ideas that work primarily with Western art history. At any rate, my instinct is that it's weird to define it as a geographic category, for the reasons above and because it's a state that is long extinct and whose territories changed widely over 600 years, which makes it very unclear what scope this category would have.
 * So, mainly for practical purposes, I'd support changing it to Ottoman architecture, if we want to stick to the common name of the topic (and the corresponding main article). But Category:Architecture of the Ottoman period might also be equally workable. For the country-specific subcats, another option likewise would be to title them along the lines of "Category:Architecture in Greece during the Ottoman period", which avoids a stylistic statement that is variably applicable or non-applicable to different areas. I had argued this issue earlier during a specific recent proposed rename for the Algeria and Tunisia categories (proposal ended without consensus). R Prazeres (talk) 18:06, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * PS: With regards to Category:Baroque architecture in the Ottoman Empire, if relevant, I've left this comment on its talk page about a necessary change and clarification for the future. R Prazeres (talk) 23:02, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

William Allen Simpson (talk) 09:31, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep — manually recategorize under Category:Ottoman architecture under Category:Architecture by style. The underlying issue is Category:Architecture in Turkey by period or style under Category:Architecture by country and period or style. Really hate those triple intersections, especially mashups (period or style). KISS.
