Number of awards by country

[edit]

A section counting the number of awards by country has been recently added to the article. I doubt this has any educational value. First of all, the prize is awarded based on individual merit, and is independent from the country of origin, country of residence or country of practice of the laureate. Second, there is no objective basis for assigning an architect to a country when his/her country of origin differs from the country of residence and practice. Third, the Hyatt Foundation is based in the US, and in the first 6 years had an obvious North American focus. The section IMO reads like a trivia, has no relevance, and therefore should be removed.

I am not sure why you dislike the table. It is only for an informational purpose. If the prize is awarded based on individual and there is no objective basis for assigning an architect to a country, then why don't you remove the "Nationarity" in the table? That said, if anyone other than you votes for deletion, I will not object to the removal. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 11:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I actually find the nationality column with the flags also somewhat distracting (see MOS:FLAG), however at least it provides some background information about each individual. Adding up the countries is what I find irrelevant, and it makes the Prize appear like a sports-trophy. Also, if you visit the official Pritzker website you'll see there is no such emphasis on nationality. -Elekhh (talk) 22:16, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As an editor who helped get this to featured list status, I'd have to agree with Elekhh's assessment of the summary table. On an individual basis, it is interesting to note the nationality of the various winners, but it seems irrelevant to add up the "national" wins...

Meaning of table column Example Work

[edit]

A suggestion based on this article for Nobel prize in Literature showed that the meaning of table label "Example Work" was not clearly read as meaning 'the thing cited in the award announcement'. I think it would be better to change that to 'Cited work' or something -- anyone have a better label ? Markbassett (talk) 22:34, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Photo section

[edit]

I don't really get what kind of rules or regulations have been broken by adding photos of some laureates from wikimedia commons. The quote "no fair use rationale for inclusion of this image in this specific article" would need some clarification.. Vasarchit — Preceding undated comment added 11:29, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
