I appreciate that editor Cbl62 took some material i started at Opa-Locka Co. and merged it into this Opa-Locka Thematic Resource Area article. The merged, further-developed-by-Cbl62 article is good. However, I don't think it is the right title, which is why I didn't myself develop at that article title. As for many other NRHP MPS / TR documents, I think there can/should be an article about the topic of the study, but the name of the document is not the right title. I've commented elsewhere that we don't create an article for every non-fiction book out there. It is just a one-time study. There are other MPS/TR documents that are catch-alls about all historic resources in a geographic area, not thematically linked, which don't deserve an article at all, IMO. Here, it does seem thematically linked. But, what should the title be (and then the article writing would have to be adjusted a bit too, i bet)? Perhaps "Arabian Nights theme architecture of Opa-Locka, Florida"? --doncram 21:25, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article fails to explain where the name "Opa-Locka Thematic Resource Area" comes from. Apparently it was the title of a "Multiple Properties Submission" to the National Park Service for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. A list of similar submissions in Florida is at this page of the Florida Department of State website.
Some time ago, I created articles for most of the Multiple Property Submissions in Florida. Actually, I made them as lists, not expecting they'd be expanded on. I'm happy to see when that happens, though. The article name is the name of the MPS for this group of buildings, so I think that should stay. There seems to be enough here for it to be on its own. I did take photos of all the structures on the list. Well, except for the Root Building, which I couldn't identify for sure. --‖ Ebyabetalk - Repel All Boarders ‖ 00:36, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
