Whau Lunatic AsylumCarrington Hospital – Common name as shown by Google Scholar results where it's more than 5 times more common than names using Whau and more common than Oakley Hospital. The name Carrington Hospital is more common in Google News results, is used by the NZ encyclopaedia: [1] and is used by the Ministry of Urban Development in their Carrington development: [2] Recent sources use the name Carrington Hospital typically whilst historic sources use different versions of the old name.

Should this article be about the asylum or the building itself?

[edit]

Per title. Any article on the hospital will mention the building and vice versa. The main thing that would change would be the infobox: from infobox hospital to infobox building and the wording of the lead.

I'm not sure which option would be the best, both things are notable and encyclopaedic but a split is not beneficial here. I'm leaning towards the building given it's heritage listing, it's iconicness as a landmark for the Carrington area, and because it will continue to be used whilst the asylum has been long shut (although part of the land is used for a modern asylum and there are multiple mental health/psychiatric buildings in the area).
