Seem a bit speculative and/or like original research. Anyone else get this sense? Bradybd 09:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For me the main entry is not speculative as commented below 29 March 2007. Sense of place is complicated and contested and the original entry has tried to keep it simple but accurate. It could do with more references in the opening paragraph so I'll try to track some down. Today I added a new section on developing a sense of place including references.SocSci123 (talk) 12:19, 19 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I have heard architects and city planners use this term on a regular basis. There has got to be a better place to present it. Kortoso (talk) 18:16, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

With Spirit of place. Thoughts? Kortoso (talk) 18:20, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rampant original research

While I just reverted some blanking, I have to agree that this is a bloody awful article. It's been tagged as such for eight years, too. Unless someone can come up with a rationale for salvaging some of this, I see no reason to keep it around for much longer. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 03:26, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There having been no counterarguments, it's time to clean house. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 20:58, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it is just a somewhat incoherent essay, let's delete it.----Ehrenkater (talk) 16:57, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
