[[:Category:Buildings destroyed by demolition]] ← I think this is what [[:Category:Demolished buildings]] actually wants to be. The key is that using the word "demolition" in the context of buildings has the VERY strong connotation that it was done on purpose ("demolition engineer", "controlled demolition", [[w:Demolition]], etc.) "Demolish", not so much --[[User:Moogsi|moogsi]] ([[User talk:Moogsi|blah]]) 07:39, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

::You have a point. But I don't really understand the purpose of the category, by either name. Aren't most former buildings destroyed by demolition? Those that aren't must be the minorities, I would say: "Destroyed by nature", "Destroyed by fire", "Destroyed by arson", "Destroyed by war". In that context, "Destroyed by demolition" would seem more natural. [[User:Hamblin|Hamblin]] ([[User talk:Hamblin|talk]]) 15:49, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
