Talk:Court of the Lions

Should the following revision/expansion be accepted or rejected?

It concerns the paragraph introducing the quoted excerpt in the section currently titled "Excerpt of Ibn Zamrak's poem on the basin" (about an inscription carved into the courtyard's fountain). It currently reads as:

The poet and minister Ibn Zamrak wrote a poem to describe the beauty of the courtyard. It also describes the fountain's hydraulic system.^[1]^[2] It is carved around the rim of the basin:^[3]

The proposed expansion would read as:

Carved around the rim of the basin is a poem of twelve verses by the vizier and poet Ibn Zamrak. Six of the verses originate, with minor modifications, from a longer qasida of 146 verses that Ibn Zamrak composed for the banquet honoring the circumcision of Muhammad V's son, Abd Allah.^[4] Verses from the same qasida are also included in the Hall of the Two Sisters.^[4] The first part of the poem refers specifically to the fountain^[3] and alludes to how its hydraulic system functioned.^[1]^[2] Below is an excerpt (verses 3 to 7):^[3]

If accepted, further copy-edits or suggestions about wording are also welcome. If relevant for context, the reasons for starting this RfC are this edit and this revert, along with the discussion above. R Prazeres (talk) 21:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Talk:List of tallest buildings and structures in the Birmingham Metropolitan Area, West Midlands

Which, if any, subsections of List of tallest buildings and structures in the Birmingham Metropolitan Area, West Midlands#Approved, proposed and emergent should be deleted? Should buildings in these sections with and without Wikipedia articles be treated differently? In favor of deletion is an interpretation of WP:CRYSTAL which says uncertain future events like building construction are out of scope for Wikipedia, especially for emergent proposals, which have not yet sought planning approval and it's unclear have a 50% probability of actually happening due to government rejection or financial difficulties. Against deletion is the argument that it's useful for research purposes to document the proposals and even though the proposals might not get built, they are referenced to reliable sources; approved designs are specific and more likely to get built. After this RFC is complete, the article may be split due to size, depending on what is kept. -- Beland (talk) 01:45, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
