Talk:Polish cathedral style

Latest comment: 2 months ago by Hilst in topic Requested move 15 February 2024

Merged edit

Yes, Polish Cathedral and Polish Cathedral Style should be merged. Further, the list of churches should have the patron saint given its own column (separate from the link -- if any -- to a page for that particular church).

Suspect either the Encyclopedia of Chicago (from the Chicago History Museum) or one of the Chicago history books would have documentation on this style. (Hey, before Royko wrote on what should be in a Chicago Hot Dog, where would you have found that documented?)

Offensive edit

Even though it seems to be commonly used, the expression "Polish Cathedral" is offensive.

Polish Cathedral stylePolish cathedral stylePolish is certainly a proper noun, but I'm not sure why cathedral is capitalized. My Google search shows that cathedral is not consistently capitalized in the phrase, and usually when cathedral is capitalized style is also capitalized.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  20:00, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per nom. Not nearly consistently capped in sources, so we use lowercase per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS. "Polish cathedral" is an architectural style or genre; per analogies in MOS:GENRE and MOS:MOVEMENT and such, no need for capping when a descriptive name is not a proper name per evidence from sources.
