Qexigator proposes that lengthy lists such as PPRIBA should be separated and placed in another article, under a brief explanatory paragraph, and reference to the main RIBA article, as in the case of the Royal Gold Medal. The new section with a short list of 4 for 19c. and 4 for 20c. is a step in that direction. Should these be reduced to not more than 3 each? Those Qexigator has listed are thought to be among those more widely known for their work as architects, as well as in their profession.
Qexigator is too much of a Wikipedia novice to attempt completing the operation by creating a new article for the full list. Qexigator ( talk) 11:01, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Bridges and other civil engineering works can be like public buildings in that their designers can be as widely known among a wider public as some architects may be.
The articles for ICE and ICE Presidents are a near model for what Qexigator is proposing for a separate article listing PPRIBA. But while the article for Presidents ICE appears handsomely on screen, its format may be less friendly for a user who wishes to make a PDF copy or include it in a book: just as general articles should not force feed users with unneeded lists, so articles for lists should not force feed users with unneeded images.
Qexigator's proposal for a separate article for PPRIBA is simply to use the list as in the present RIBA article (subject to checking for completeness and accuracy) and not to include images, but to allow for a further article which would be available as a gallery of images . This gallery article could be begun as a stub should there be a contributor willing to make a start, and later added to as images became available.
The information on this topic (for a further comparison) seems to be conveniently distributed in the articles mentioned below, taking account of the way in which users may wish to combine the contents of any of them (for PDF or books) with articles about civil engineering, architecture, or built environment etc.

Articles about painters, sculptors and architects can also appear handsomely on screen with a gallery of images . In these cases the images are the main part of the narrative which makes the subject 'notable'. Some examples:
But in some other articles the Gallery section has so many images that it could be more convenient (for PDF or books as mentioned above) to make the Gallery a separate article. Some examples:

I have been told that there is (or was) a tradition that past presidents received a knighthood at the end of their term. Is this accurate? If someone can find a reliable reference then we should mention it - it would indicate that the RIBA is well-regarded by the establishment. Verbcatcher ( talk) 02:15, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Is this section more suited to "History", where it now is, or to the later section "Education"? Qexigator ( talk) 19:37, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Coming fresh to this page, I'm amazed that a whole lengthy section is devoted to a sordid story of allegations and recriminations during Alan Jones's term as president. The whole thing is covered in exactly the same detail under Alan Jones (architect) and that is where it belongs. This article is a place for general information about the RIBA - I actually came here looking for information about the design of the RIBA crest - and the Governance section is out of place in the context. That whole section should be replaced by a brief mention of controversy, as was previously the case. ProfDEH ( talk) 08:58, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
