I am simply suggesting that this page probarly should be archived more often. I have alreday suggested this months earlier, and I think that because of the lengths, my suggestion was accidently skipped. Does anyone agree?-- Leolisa1997 ( talk) 05:46, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello all...
The image used in the Queen's College, Hong Kong article's infobox, specifically Image:100 0221.JPG, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back in 2005 when the rules around image uploading was less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploaded was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.

Cantonese and Standard Cantonese are both up for renaming at WP:RM 70.55.200.131 ( talk) 16:51, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
The requestor's argument is not entirely without merit (see Talk:Cantonese), but he has also been editing Standard Cantonese, Cantonese, and Cantonese (disambiguation) as if the articles were already moved. Please keep watch on those articles and make sure the content reflect the current naming. The editing that the requestor is trying to make should only take place if the article moves are fulfilled.

Currently, two conservation-related articles of Hong Kong could be found in Wikipedia: Country parks and conservation in Hong Kong and Marine parks in Hong Kong.
A piece of fact: marine parks is now a section in the CP&C page (with a main-article link). It reflects that the current naming system is confusing: I always feel that conservation includes country and marine park management. The title "Country parks and conservation" seems like putting a set and a subset into conjunction, which is either incomprehensive or overlapping.
At the same time, I would like to consider the division of labour in Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department: country parks, marine parks and special areas are managed by one of their branch (the Country and Marine Parks Branch), and conservation and site of special scientific interest is by another (the Conservation Branch). Both country parks and marine parks are defined as "protected/designated pieces of land/water for people to visit and enjoy", which may or may not be considered as part of conservation. (On the other hand, referring to the full name of AFCD, it is not "Agriculture, Fisheries, Conservation, Country and Marine Parks Department".)
After a rough search for titles of articles on similar topics in other regions and countries, I propose three options for resolution:
Though I previously preferred the first option, I am now open to all three above. Please comment and discuss.
Notice that the current title Marine parks in Hong Kong, strictly speaking, does not follow the naming convention guideline of country-specific article. Most country-specific articles of national parks have the title "National parks of (place name)"-- Dono ( talk) 06:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Mergers have now taken place for the majority of lone housing estates per the discussion we have had, and a number of new articles containing merged information now exist. One or two estates have been merged into their localities per WP:LOCAL. A very small number have not been merged due to their notability, or because they somehow defy classification.

Summary: what should we do with Hong Kong estates articles? olivier ( talk) 08:17, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
The long version: I believe the topic to be of high importance on several levels: society, history, economy, etc. Maybe the demolition of Shek Kip Mei Estate, the evacuation of Lower Ngau Tau Kok (II) Estate, as well as various local exhibitions and programs have added to this perception. In any case, the mere fact that about half of the population of the territory is currently living in some sort of publicly subsidized housing makes the topic difficult to ignore, and a proper treatment of the topic contributes to the overall quality of the HK related topics in Wikipedia. As far as I know there has not been any concerted effort to work on HK public housing related articles within Wikipedia. Now, some of you have probably noted that User:Ricky@36 has been busy creating many such articles recently. Among other things, he has been creating articles for virtually each of the ~200 public housing estates of the territory. He has also created many articles for private housing estates. Admittedly, many of his articles are stubs and lack references. The natural consequence is that some of these articles are routinely tagged for potential lack of notability and/or are the subjects of requests for deletions, invoking WP:N and WP:V (references from the government agencies being technically not considered as third-party). Several of them have been deleted in the past. While the deletion of inappropriate articles from Wikipedia is certainly a very healthy practice, I have some reservations about the way it is conducted for these articles. Articles are tagged for lack of notability, and after a while a deletion request is made. The discussions made to decide whether the article should be deleted or not is usually mostly conducted by people not familiar with the topic. In addition, the request for deletion of articles about HK public housing estates typically attracts very little interest and usually a decision is made to delete the article after just a few people have noticed that a given estate is not important by itself. My experience with French communes was similar. I created hundreds of articles, other people created thousands of them, and some of them were randomly tagged for notability and/or deletion. What probably helped was the creation of the Wikipedia:WikiProject French communes, which attracted some attention and made the project official. Now, what then seemed as a wild dream became reality: there is an article for each of the 36,782 communes, and judging by the status page a group of editors is actively working at improving them. The community also agreed, that, like for many other countries, each individual commune was worthy of a Wikipedia article. The reason why I am relating this story is that I believe that because of the highly urbanized nature of Hong Kong, public housing estates in particular, and probably other housing estates as well, play the role of villages and towns in other territories. Now I would like to open the discussion and ask the members of this WikiProject (and others) what we should do with these articles: keep them all, merge some of them as it has been attempted in Public Housing Estates on Tsing Yi Island, let some them disappear without a trace, and if so, which ones? For examples of recent discussions, you can look at Wah Ming Estate, Shek Yam East Estate, Tin Tsz Estate, Tsui Lok Estate. Thanks for reading and thank you for your comments! olivier ( talk) 16:20, 8 August 2009 (UTC) (I have also contributed with my alternate account User:Underwaterbuffalo).
I am more than willing to acknowledge the possibilty that individual housing developments may be notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. In the United States there have been cases where some have garnered national attention ( Cabrini Green comes to mind, for example). However, I am unwilling to acknowledge that every housing project automatically merits an article. The argument that half the population of Hong Kong lives in such places actually decreases their individual notability, to my way of seeing things. (I estimate that over 95% of all Americans live alongside of paved streets; does each street therefore merit its own page?) On the other hand, the fact that such a high percentage of Hong Kong's people live in such places does constitute a noteworthy fact. My suggestion would be something along the lines that I think that olivier has already suggested elsewhere. An article on these estates deserves to exist, and should include a list of all of these developments. Then someone like Ricky@36 can come along and look for individual estates (is that the right word?) that possess singular noteworthiness. If someone was to write an article on the first such development, and the largest such development, and any other such superlatives (along with documentation; not of the development's existence, but of its individual notability), then I think we'd be on our way to something acceptable to all parties. Un sch ool 00:38, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
I am responsible for the Public Housing Estates on Tsing Yi Island article, which I was hoping would be adopted as a model for other HK housing estates. I was a bit dismayed when Ricky decided to undo the redirects on the individual estates' articles without even attempting to expand any of them (which I felt was not a sound approach to developing articles). Typically, housing estates are localised in clumps, which allows them to be treated in an agglomerated fashion, particular in ' new towns'. Except for government sources, examples of sources usually cited to preserve articles from deletion are frequently about events which occur there, making the mentions 'trivial' according to WP:N.
SO, in conclusion, my suggested approach is to develop articles on an agglomerated basis, except in cases where estates are genuinely notable (e.g. Shek Kip Mei Estate, Choi Hung Estate), which would retain their own article. This would not stop links for individual estates from being created, redirecting to the most relevant agglomeration. Ohconfucius ( talk) 04:10, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Using Emporis to search, there appear to be ~8000 results for buildings (which I think is high rise buildings) and ~1000 for complexes, which I think is the sort of article we are talking about here. There are also 156 neighbourhoods, which I think is what we're talking about merging the articles into. (Can someone who knows more about this let me know if this is correct!) Picking a random neighbourhood such as Tin Shui Wai, Kingswood Villas clearly seems independently notable. However the rest of the Public Housing Estates, I'm not too sure about. I think it would be preferable to merge these estates into the one article as discussed above. The content would be preserved and we'd have much better articles out of it. It would also enable the housing complexes to be better explained in context with each other. Quantpole ( talk) 08:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
