Adding images of individuals[edit]

Over the last 3 years images featuring individuals have been added to the White House room articles. The room articles are primarily about the architecture and decorative arts of these rooms. While some text describing historic events that have happened in a particular room are important, if the event is significant enough to have its own article (Partial Test Ban Treaty) the photograph is more appropriately placed there with a link in the article to the White House room article.

There are an abundant number of photographs showing the rooms without people, where the focus is on the architecture and decorative arts. The emphasis in adding a photograph is to illustrate the room and its furnishings, not an individual. If you must add images of people, please add them in the gallery feature. CApitol3 (talk)

Page move?[edit]

I suggest this page is moved to 'White House State Dining Room' or something similar because there must be thousands of state dining rooms around the world. I cam here looking for information on Baroque state suites, hoping for a little more info than is at State room. I would suggest that if individual rooms of the White House are to have pages of their own, then a template is made such as at Winter Palace, and rooms are titled, for example, White Hall of the Winter Palace because there must be dozens of White Halls around the world.

As there appear to be objections to the above proposal, I will move this page shortly to State Dining Room of the White House. Giano (talk) 14:07, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Naming conventions for White House rooms are somewhat inconsistent, but a perusal of the template {{Template:White House}} seems to indicate that the most common naming convention is "XXXXXX (White House)". - Tim1965 (talk) 19:51, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
