::I think that you need such categories as a place holder and era separation. If a number of famous buildings have been erased and made place for a nice park, we have problems placing it. Same if a building gets replaced with a new one. People tend to move it all in the category with the most recent name. Something similar is needed for example for a large school that used several buildings with different names and places spread over a city/area; people constantly try to merge it in the top level current name category.

::While at the root level, Former buildings and demolished buildings seems pretty much equivalent. At the subcat level however, they are quite different as they refer to a former function. Many former train stations are now pubs, restaurants or shops. --[[User:Foroa|Foroa]] ([[User talk:Foroa|talk]]) 15:31, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
