Talk:Mecklenburg's Garden

Name of restaurant

Restaurant is Mecklenburg Gardens, not Mecklenburg's Garden. I will move it unless someone has a source saying otherwise. valereee (talk) 13:53, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Did you look at the sources cited in the article? The UC source gives "Mecklenburg's Garden", as does the National Register. Maybe they've slightly tweaked the name recently, but the established name is "Mecklenburg's Garden". Nyttend (talk) 18:43, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I looked at them -- a couple of them are pretty old. In 1976 they may very well have been called Mecklenburg's Garden when they were added to the national historic list. The Cincinnati Magazine article calls it by the current name, and so does the restaurant's website. I'm out of town now with extremely sketchy access, will find the sources when I get back! valereee (talk) 21:21, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Once again, the established name is "Mecklenburg's Garden". This is primarily an article on the building in which the restaurant is currently located, not the current occupants of the building: the current occupants are mentioned because it would be outright stupid not to mention them, not because they're the primary focus. This is generally how these articles are entitled; for example, the article on a building west of Columbus is entitled Village Hobby Shop, even though it's currently occupied by a beauty shop; the courthouse annex's article is Alms and Doepke Dry Goods Company, rather than "Hamilton County Courthouse Annex" or whatever the name is at the moment; and the article about a Clifton mansion is at Scarlet Oaks, rather than something related to the owners, Deaconess Hospital.

Then we need to rewrite -- it reads as primarily about the restaurant, which changed names in like 1988 or something. That Cincinnati Magazine article , which is one of the more recent sources, references the name change. The National Historic Register was 1976, and the builidng was called Mecklenburg's Garden back then. The DAAP source probably uses the historic register name. But the lead sentence says 'Mecklenburg's Garden is a historic restaurant' which isn't true. We might be able to start with "Mecklenburg's Garden is a building on the blah blah blah" or something, but right now the lead is just plain incorrect. The restaurant is not named Meckenburg's Garden. valereee (talk) 19:15, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
