Burnett's Corner Historic District → Burnett Corner — - Request admin help to implement a page move over redirect, for merged CT NRHP HD - CT hamlet article. I believe merger represents consensus of a long discussion elsewhere. --doncram (talk) 15:13, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The correct title for an article about the village would be Burnett Corner, Connecticut according to US place naming conventions. older ≠ wiser 18:41, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is technically a neighborhood of the town of Groton and is neither a CDP nor a postal location, but given the U.S. Census Bureau's treatment of towns in New England as not being incorporated places (even urban ones that have city forms of government like Groton), I suppose adding the state name is ok. --Polaron | Talk 18:49, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also "Burnetts Corner" is currently the primary GNIS name of the place. --Polaron | Talk 18:55, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

boundaries[edit]

Both sides of Packer Road (alignment of the old Groton and Stonington Turnpike) from the line continuing south from Cheeseborough Farm Road to a point between the intersection of Packer Road and Route 184 and the Red Brook.

Separate NRHP HD articles or not[edit]

A bunch of editors have been debating when and where it is helpful to have separate articles on NRHP HDs, like about "Burnett's Corner Historic District", vs. when it is best to include the NRHP info in an article about a village/hamlet/neighborhood like this "Burnett's Corner, Connecticut" article.

Some of the editors (me included) agree that for the Burnett's Corners Historic District we currently want a merged article. But if there is someone who wants to make decent separate articles, that would be okay too. We just ask, please don't split out a separate NRHP HD article unless a) you have created or are actively developing a DYK-equivalent length starter article using substantial information, and b) you judge in good faith that it is beneficial to have the NRHP HD be a separate article.

Note, for all CT NRHPs, a good source is available, the NRHP nomination document, provided free of charge upon email request to nr_reference (at) nps.gov. And, in December 2010, the National Register has just made available online copies of almost all of the NRHP documents for CT: see search screen here.

For now, Burnett's Corner Historic District redirects to Burnett's Corner, Connecticut. (Equivalent notice being placed at Talk:Burnett's Corner Historic District.) --doncram (talk) 15:55, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
