Scottish Parliament Building edit
- Notified: Globaltraveller, Wikiproject Architecture, Wikiproject Edingburgh, Wikiproject Scotland, 2023-01-27
Review section edit
I am nominating this featured article for review for the following reasons;
- The archaeology section is a list which would be better served in prose.
- There is a controversy section, this info should be relocated elsewhere in the article.
- No section is called "Design" making it hard to find the architecture of the building. Instead that information is blended into a description of the modern workings of the building.
- No section is called "construction" so its hard to find the timeline of events while being built
- The Demonstrations section looks like a news item and should be removed.
- Note: Scottish Parliament was another FA by the same nominator, it was already delisted at FAR

- Agree with the comments here. In terms of the demonstration section, would argue this needs to be deleted. The demonstrations are not re the building but rather against the government, parties within or for a cause. If the demonstrations section is to be kept, then it would need an expansion to ensure sufficient coverage. To my mind, there have been dozens of demonstrations outside the Scottish Parliament ranging from issues for and against independence, to recent demonstrations over the Gender Recognition Bill. That aside perhaps the biggest omission from this article and why maybe it should not be FA anymore is it does not adequately cover the current building. As a recent visitor, there are numerous issues with the structure, much of it related to water ingress, a leaky roof and other building issues. Go one step further and one need only read the numerous news sources about lighting issues during debates that run pass standard opening hours... I would rate the article as B-class at present.
