The result of the proposal was moved to John and Donald Parkinson. -- BDD ( talk) 16:49, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
The Parkinsons → John B. and Donald D. Parkinson, or The Parkinson brothers (Architects) – The name seems inadequate and too vague; plus it doesn't appear they were ever generally referred to as "The Parkinsons" by themselves or anyone else. To me, the article's name sounds like the title of a TV show (and I see that it is the name of a punk rock band!)...there might also be some confusion with Parkinson's Disease. Another idea would be to create seperate articles, as John B. Parkinson is obviously the more accomplished of the two. Relisted.

Many of the buildings designed were by John B. Parkinson only, or with different partners. His don, Donald, also trained as an architect, and joined his father and the firm in later years. Some of the buildings mentioned were designed long before Donald was born, so lumping the two together obscures the fact that many of the buildings referenced were designed by the father only or with different partners, with later buildings being a joint design effort of father and son.

I suggest that Selected works be retitled Designed Buildings or some such. I also think the list should be reordered, by date, and include a date of build on the far right. William J Bean ( talk) 16:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
How embarrassing...I didn't notice they were father and son, not brothers (and I live in Los Angeles). Anyway...Good Move! WQUlrich ( talk) 01:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Would it not make more sense to have a page for each of those two individuals? So two separate articles, in other words. Did they really design every single building together? That seems unlikely. Zigzig20s ( talk) 11:04, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
