Istanbul mosques: Europe or Asia?

This is kind of a silly technical question: should the mosques on the European side of Istanbul (including the Ayasofya) be included in the Europe or the Southwest Asia section? The rest of Turkey is being included in the latter section, so it may just cause confusion to split the European and Asian sides of Turkey across two sections here, but since I added a few Istanbul mosques recently, I thought it might be good to invite opinions here.

Discussion about merging content from here to List of mosques

Hi everyone, please see this discussion I've started to propose merging a large part of the content in this article to List of mosques. I haven't made a formal merge proposal per WP:MERGE for now, as I'm not proposing to redirect this page to there, but it would still be a major change. Please bring your feedback to the linked discussion (at Talk:List of mosques). Thanks R Prazeres (talk) 18:21, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Title Change

Current title implies that the article enlists all the mosques in existence without any qualifying criteria, the title should be changed to "List of Notable Mosques". We can hold a vote on this as well. Moughera (talk) 01:44, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Discussion was moved to AfD, resulting in redirect, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of mosques. R Prazeres (talk) 00:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging List of mosques into Lists of mosques

List of mosques serves no useful purpose. It's clearly too vague to ever be a viable list article per WP:SALAT (e.g. there's no List of church buildings either, as far as I can see). This is a function accomplished by Category:Mosques. The list has no proper inclusion criteria: the lead states "some of the more famous mosques", but that's obviously unhelpful, there's little about the current list that suggests the additions are being limited to "famous" mosques, and even if we tried to enforce such a criteria it would inevitably be an unclear POV mess; anything can be "famous" from a certain POV, and "notable" would by definition include every Wikipedia mosque article (which, again, is what categories are for). There are of course almost no sources in that article either, despite the many additional claims inserted into the list. All of this makes it incompatible with the guidelines outlined at WP:STANDALONE.

The only useful version of this would be an article that links to more precise lists of mosques. This already exists here at Lists of mosques (notwithstanding some needed improvements). Two articles with such similar titles are also likely to cause confusion and they already look like WP:CONTENTFORKs of each other. Therefore, List of mosques should simply redirect here.

This request does not seek to preserve any content, so it is within the scope of AfD and I have done so at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of mosques. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 00:43, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good point, thanks. I'll reply at the AfD. R Prazeres (talk) 00:49, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
