I think you're missing a Supreme Court building, which i think is a U.S. Federal courthouse. If it is not a Federal courthouse it should still probably be mentioned in a See also way. Can find by searching on Supreme at NPS focus site.

I'm not sure this list would be the place to mention it if it is not a federal courthouse. I suppose, strictly speaking, all territorial courts are federal courts by some reckoning, but they operate more like sovereign state courts. bd2412T 21:49, 8 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure that a list of just 4 courthouses is worth having as a separate list. Why not broaden it to cover all notable courthouses in Puerto Rico. Perhaps that would be more worthwhile. The one i was referring to is the 1955-built Modern Movement one in Luis Muñoz Rivera Park. No article for it yet; it is NRHP-listed and there are NRHP docs available for it (but I find the NPS Focus website does not right now deliver them for me; perhaps there is a temporary website outage going on). I found my way here from seeing notice at WikiProject Puerto Rico, where i am a member. --doncram (talk) 21:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
The list transcludes into List of United States federal courthouses, which would be much too long if all the lists were incorporated into the text of the page (Texas alone has had some 50 federal courthouses). Once I started breaking out long lists, it just seemed incomplete not to break them all out. bd2412T 22:25, 8 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
I think you cannot then control how the page evolves. If the WikiProject Puerto Rico editors want to add other stuff, or rename this list article to List of courthouses in Puerto Rico, then you just have to stop transcluding it. I don't think you should have split out your big article into 50+ ones, if that is what you have now done. --doncram (talk) 23:11, 8 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
List of courthouses in Puerto Rico would be a different article, and if someone wants to set that one up, they are welcome to do so. I split the big federal courthouses article into 52 transcluded pages months ago, and no one raised an issue of it (nor has an issue been raised of the similar transcluded lists of courts by state, which was done years ago). bd2412T 00:26, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
