BZPN has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: We already have a baroque article, so this short and worthless summary is unnecessary. It does not contain any specific information and is not even related to the title itself (Baroque house). BZPN (talk) 22:30, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

Discussion

Baroque is the name for a time period. In this context we can talk about baroque architecture, baroque music, baroque painting, baroque furniture, baroque sculpture etc. It is clear thatunless we count art historians among us we are not going to get in-depth articles on all of them. It was me who created this page, in 2007. It is clear that what we now call 'baroque' is mostly about churches, but there are some houses in that stlye too. Examples are the Pavionn de l'horloge (part of the Louvre today), Greenwich hospital, or (parts of) many palaces. Just because a page is short doesn't mean it doesn't have a reason for existing. Like wqith Gothic Architecture, the few buildings that aren't Churches/Cathedrals, and that are built in Gothic style, this likely is of similar interest. That there's so little change in the long years its existence just tells me that the article isn't viewed often, or is not of particular interee in extenfing it. Nevertheless I'd favor keeping it... --Eptalon (talk) 14:27, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The actual content doesn't say anything about baroque houses at all - probably the only solution to keep this article would be to change the content to redirect to baroque. BZPN (talk) 22:38, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as an Architecture section of the Baroque article until there is enough content for an article on its own. Griff (talk) 01:22, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
