Support Disclosure: I've just GA reviewed and passed Fountain of Time. I consider this collection of articles to be excellent in depth of focus and coverage, and to have exceptional photographs. -- Chzz ► 02:35, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - given that both this and the Washington Park, Chicago good topic are quite small, and neither has massive potential for future growth, would it not make more sense to have the two be one topic, and have this instead be a supplementary nomination into that other topic? I think to do otherwise would be over-splitting, giving two topics when there can be one - after all, it says in the Recommendations at WP:FT?, "a topic should not be excessively sub-divided; an all-encompassing topic of six articles is better than two topics of three each" - rst20xx (talk) 13:21, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
These topics have clear room for growth in seven months. If Chicago wins the their Olympic bid, there will be at least two more articles. I am not sure which of these it goes into. In the original of the two GTC for the parent topic, it was agreed that these park components were not necessary for the larger topic. Where do you think the two Olympic buildings would belong? I think they might belong in this topic. Further, the larger topic deals with articels related to discriminatory practices and the change in socio-economics of the city. These articles are different issues.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 15:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, 6 articles + 3 articles still only equals 9 articles. Topics often go up to 20-25. While I agreed in the nomination for the parent topic that these articles weren't necessary for that topic, I still think that now that we're here, they'd fit better there than they would seperately - rst20xx (talk) 21:30, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
First off, where would you see the Olympic structures if they come to be?
With Central Park, there would be many many more articles involved, and hence no, I wouldn't advocate any kind of combination - a combined topic would be much too big, and so it should stand as its own topic! Millennium Park too would be too big to merge into Grant Park, no matter about Chicago Loop. Here, however, there are 3 extra articles, with the potential for 2-3 more, and the parent topic has 9 6.
I would imagine that any topic that covers a park in the lowest level of notable detail (as here) would need to include an article on all notable fountains, but I don't think by merging these two topics, we'd be setting any kind of precedent that all neighbourhoods that contain a park will automatically have to include the articles within the scope of the park. Instead I would think that, as would happen here were we to fold these articles into the neighbourhood topic, the park articles can be optionally done at a later date, and then, depending on the number of articles involved, either added to the neighbourhood topic, or made into their own topic - rst20xx (talk) 01:19, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I also think merging into the parent topic would look better, assuming it doesn't leave any gaps. There is nothing to stop future topics from having sub-topics, on a case-by-case basis - that is why these discussion exist. In this case, the level of notability of the articles is also similar (Museum cf. Race track). If consensus goes towards keeping the subtopic, i would still support, but merging would be a strong support, as it is simply a more impressive topicYobMod09:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ja - i think a topic that has the room and scope to include all of the articles in a subtopic, and the articles are on similar level subjects would count as oversplitting if kept separate. Which is what i think about this one. It's great work, just doesn't need to be sub-topiced, imo.YobMod08:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - what does everyone else think about whether this should be a separate topic, or form part of the existing Washington Park, Chicago topic? At the moment I see two people saying "group" and one saying "separate" and I think more feedback would be valuable - rst20xx (talk) 23:55, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I actually support that as well, since this is just a smaller topic that can be merged into that bigger topic.--Best, ₮RUCӨ02:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have read through the issues raised, and the points put forward by TonyTheTiger have convinced me that this should be a separate FT. -- Chzz ► 18:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Promoting into existing topic - I'm sorry Tony, but it's 3 to 2 in favour of promoting this into the existing Washington Park topic, and so that is what I shall do. I only wish that we got more feedback on this, but it seems no-one else has an opinion - rst20xx (talk) 14:27, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
