Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in St. Louis

split by neighborhoods

35 and 36 are Downtown and Downtown West, per Neighborhoods of St. Louis

Hey, a split by some complete geographic partition, rather than by alphabetical, is needed! Happily there is a partition into 79 available, in Neighborhoods of St. Louis, and there is a category system: Category:Neighborhoods in St. Louis, Missouri. The biggest number of NRHPs are probably in Downtown St. Louis. --Doncram

The current list of NRHPs is split into two lists alphabetically, not geographically. Probably splitting out the downtown ones would make it possible for the list of others to be in one article. I wonder if there are general terms "North St. Louis" or "Western St. Louis" existing, or which could be defined, that would group together some chunks of numbered neighborhoods. --doncram 17:37, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm gonna just start at splitting out National Register of Historic Places listings in Downtown St. Louis, which might get about 100, for the area from Cole on north, Jefferson on West, Chouteau on South, river on east. Could do National Register of Historic Places listings in Downtown West St. Louis later. Then maybe the remainder will fit in just one list-article. --doncram 09:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

That split out 122 of the listings, out of formerly 375 in the A-L and M-Z lists. The 122 are for the moment in article named "Downtown St. Louis", but it is to be moved shortly to National Register of Historic Places listings in Downtown and Downtown West St. Louis. More than 250 remaining in the other 2 alpha-split lists are still too many to merge. Hmm. --doncram 23:32, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks editor Sanfranman59 for tidying up the A-L and M-Z lists, by renumbering!

Okay, looking at the remainder, it seems to me that splitting north vs. south by the dividing line of Interstate 64 / State route 40 is very objective and would achieve a decent split. It runs south of the big Forest Park. It runs along east-west within the Downtown and the Downtown West neighborhoods. So, i'm gonna proceed by moving the A-L list to National Register of Historic Places listings in St. Louis north and west of downtown. And move the M-Z list to National Register of Historic Places listings in St. Louis south and west of downtown. And then do the necessary exchanges of individual rows. I think that puts all remainder sites having less than 38.609167 degrees of latitude into the "south" page. A better rename can be proposed here, if anyone is watching. And/or a better split. --doncram 19:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, sanfranman59, for further renumbering and editing the two rearranged articles, the south and west and the north and west ones, which have 96 and 162 NRHP listings, respectively. 162 is a bit large, but not too large. I think it is fine now. Thanks! And thanks to everyone else who commented here with good suggestions. --doncram 16:06, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
