Kölner Dom

Not dictionary material (sum of parts). Also Magdeburger Dom and Merseburger Dom. SemperBlotto (talk) 14:52, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

• There's no entry for Kölner as an adjective, which should be rectified. Donnanz (talk) 15:13, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

• If we are to get rid of this entry (as I think we ought to), Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty need to go. I suppose you could say that Kölner Dom is SoP, but I don't know; I mean, that is the idiomatic name of the structure, and I don't think it should matter whether the name is kind of obvious or not.

  • AFAICT this is the only building in Cologne called a Dom, so it is SOP, but Berliner Dom for example would not be, since there are other Dome here (Französischer Dom, Deutscher Dom). —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 17:28, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm not convinced that the SOPness or idiomaticity) of Berliner Dom and Kölner Dom differ significantly. Certainly, it seems to be possible to use Berliner Dom SOPly: google books:"ein Berliner Dom, google books:"der erste Berliner Dom". The most common use of Berliner Dom is in reference to the building on Museum Island, but then, I don't imagine that building a new Dom in Köln would change which building most new uses of Kölner Dom were referring to. And in any case the Kölner Dom is a [Kölner] [Dom], and the Berliner Dom is a [Berliner] [Dom]. The Statue of Liberty is a [statue] [of] [liberty], too, but it at least has some symbolism and might be attested with metaphorical meaning. IMO, delete the Doms as not dictionary material. - -sche (discuss) 02:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

• SoP aside, I feel sorry for the poor sod who produced a relatively good entry. Donnanz (talk) 16:20, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

I would delete as entirely transparent. Like there's a Leeds Bridge which is a bridge, in Leeds. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:28, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
