No objection. "Architectural plans" is slightly more general, because it would include landscape architecture where there is no floor, and would also include the "reverse plan" for a ceiling. - Jmabel ! talk23:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
* As it doubles IMHO up with Architectural drawings we should delete Category:Architectural plans and move all entries over to Category:Architectural drawings. The term "Architectural drawings" allows to separate "by type" that means if its a section, elevation of floor plan. "Architectural plans" does not really allow this and is simply blurry because of the term "plan".
oK, after I cleaned up a bit I am confirmed in my conclusion: Category:Architectural plans should be deleted / redirected, because many people mix the term "plan" (in the sense of a layouted sheet with several drawings) up with "floor plans". As this will happen again all the time I suggest we move all "Sheets" into a new Category:Architectural drawing sheets and redirect there. TomAlt (talk) 22:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In the English Wikipedia we just merged the w:Architectural plan (just created by me) into the w:Architectural drawing article, because the term "Architectural plan" didn't seem to have one particular meaning.
So I think it is a good idea to remove this category here. I am not so sure about a new category named "Architectural drawing sheets". Ideally categories should relate to real types of architectural drawings: Types that could have a Wikipedia article. Now it seems to me, at first sight, that several of the images categorized in that new category could be categorized in other existing categories just as well. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 23:48, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's true, some could also be sorted in the object cats like "Church drawings" or "Opera drawings" etc. But for the type, an arranged / layouted plan or sheet there has to be a separate cat. I'm open for suggestions for a better name. TomAlt (talk) 13:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
