- Famous Listed Building
- I've added The Isokon, the [Royal Festival Hall]] and Keeling House. I don't want to begin a situation where everyone sticks their favourite listed building on here, but these are particularly important examples of modern listed building: The Isokon was the first listed Modern Movement building, the RFH the first Grade I-listed post-war building and Keeling the first listed example of modern council housing.

[edit] IoE links
Images of England have changed the way to link their site once. They may do it again. I have now created a template which makes it easy to link to entries at Images of England and provides a mesasue of future-proofing.

[edit] Grade X listing
What about mentioning the proposed Grade X listing. This is a category for particularly horrible buildings of no architectural or historical merit whatsoever. Grade X listing would hopefully speed up their demolishment and replacment. A number of speculative Grade X lists have been compiled. Probably not a good idea to include any list of buildings though as this would be a somewhat subjective decision. 141.5.194.4 09:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell, this is not an official listing or any real proposal for one, nor is it particularly noteable Nil Einne 15:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Turning into a list
It seems that many of the updates to this article are just additions to the Famous listed buildings section. Whilst you might readily argue that all listed buildings are notable since they are declared by experts to be notable for preservation, I doubt whether all the buildings being added are famous. There are already lists of listed buildings chained from this article. Could a little restraint be exercised before someone prunes the whole lot out? :) Oosoom Talk to me 20:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Grade Definitions
As this question has been asked, in a way, and not answered, I'm going to ask anyway: What is the difference between a Grade II and Grade II* building? I haven't read the whole thing yet because I'm at work and need to get back to it, but if this isn't answered in the article, I hope it will be answered here.

- Nevermind. I scanned the article further and found the answer I sought. SailorAlphaCentauri 20:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adding an article on a new building
My Great-Auntie lives in a Grade II listed building, well part of it, she owns it all, 10-14 Churchgate, Hallaton, Leicestershire. Would this be ok to start an article on, or will it be deleted as non-notable? Jimmmmmmmmm 22:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Not sure if you're serious but...I don't think Grade II listing = notability in itself (there are just so many Grade II buildings), but of course some Grade II buildings ARE notable. You might, though, decide that it's more appropriate to briefly cover this building and any others in the area in Hallaton, if the article exists. Barnabypage 12:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
