Merge proposal

[edit]

I just proposed at Round church that it should be merged into this article. AFAICT there's no reason for listing some buildings under the one title and some under the other (and indeed, eg Temple Church under both). --Thrissel (talk) 12:55, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This article is far too broad for such a merge; rotundas are a common architectural feature used in all types of buildings. The round church article is about a specific subset of church buildings, not just their architectural features. oknazevad (talk) 05:03, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't get it. What else than architecture makes them specific? Certainly nothing that I can see in the round church article. --Thrissel (talk) 15:53, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change of name

[edit]

I just changed the wrong name Osterlar to the right name Osterlars, which made a link to the church appear. ChurchNerd (talk) 07:11, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 23 April 2025

[edit]

– Clear primary topic by both pageviews and long-term significance. Other stuff does not have nearly as many views, or is purely a WP:PTM. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 16:42, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. WikiNav for March says the proposed architecture topic is the most popular, but the other two generic topics also get visible reader interest. At the same time, the architecture is listed on top, while the other two are at the very bottom, in the "other uses" section.
Maybe we first need to format a MOS:DABCOMMON section on top?
Overall, the pageviews/clickstream numbers for March aren't convincing. With 322 total views, we could only identify 72 clicks on the first item (~22%), and there were 57 filtered clickstreams, 22 to script, 17 to geometry.
Even if we very generously assume that the long tail of filtered clickstreams has the exact same distribution (72/111 = ~65%), that's still 57*0.65 = ~37, so ~109 total clicks on the first item, compared to 322 total - which is only ~34%.
If we can't barely get a third of readers to click on the first item in a list, there's no real primary topic by usage.
For long-term significance, we first need some comparative analysis including these other two general topics. (Oppose) --Joy (talk) 10:12, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neither of the other two topics are of nearly the same longterm significance. One is a largely unreferenced, minor typeface variant. The other is a type of polyhedron, an esoteric math topic which, at least currently, fails both WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:GNG. I don't see how they are equivalent at all. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 14:52, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so why would this chunk of readers be finding these two and clicking on them, is the formatting of the list causing them to be unduly promoted? --Joy (talk) 05:05, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
