Talk:Chatsworth House

message: This article is called "Chatsworth House" but it is about much more than that, as at least half of it is about the gardens and estate, which are a also large part of its attraction. I propose that the name be changed to 'Chatsworth Estate' or 'Chatsworth house and gardens' to reflect the content of the article. This would, of course, mean that a redirect page from 'Chatsworth House' would be created, so that anyone entering that name in the search box would be redirected to this article.

replies: text: I take your point, maybe Chatsworth Estate would be better, given the article's scope. But Chatsworth House is by far the better search term. - Highfields (talk, contribs) 20:55, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renaming proposal 

message: I would like to propose that a short referral should be added regarding the large international scouting camps that were held in the park, most notably 'peak 80' and 'peak 95', each with several thousand participants from around the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.3.88.23 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I'd say these events probably aren't notable in the context of the history of Chatsworth. There have been lots of outdoor concerts at Chatsworth, and doubtless other gatherings over the years, that have also attracted thousands but aren't mentioned. But I don't feel particularly strongly. If you decide to go ahead, maybe rename the section "Country Fair" to "Events" and add it there. Doesn't warrant more than a sentence or two, anyway. Dave.Dunford (talk) 15:18, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If a reliable source mentions the camps, that would confirm notability. I suspect however that due to the historical nature of the camps, sources may be hard to come by. On a slightly broader point, having an "Events" section would enable easy expansion of info about the horse trials (plus any other notable happenings), so perhaps makes sense anyway, regardless of whether or not the scout camps are added.

thread_title:  Scouting Events 

message: There is no mention in the article about the problems faced by staff, particularly in the catering and retail areas, caused by the anti social hours they are forced to work, for low remuneration. This is as interesting to readers as what the facade looks like or what the current duke is doing, surely. Staff are constantly resigning due to poor higher level management.

replies: text: Sounds like a mixture of original research, opinion and recentism to me, I'm afraid. Even if you found a reliable source to back up your claims, it's debatable whether the accusations are sufficiently notable to warrant mention in a fairly short article about a centuries-old building. In short, I don't think it should go in. Dave.Dunford (talk) 08:41, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Catering staff are notoriously low paid in the UK and in many other places too, so it's not really worthy of mention - rather like saying " the trees in the park have green leaves in summer." If they are exceptionally poorly paid at Chatsworth and there is a history of staffing disputes then it needs to be referenced and impartial. Giano   (talk) 17:57, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
