[RFC] Feature Proposal – historic=ceremonial_gate

@Fizzie41

Back up there ^ [RFC] Feature Proposal – historic=ceremonial_gate - #11 by Fizzie41, I asked if https://maps.app.goo.gl/Xk4y2UCpLXGar9i99 is a gate? While https://maps.app.goo.gl/f8drx31TULftgfjL8 certainly appears to classify as a (probably-more-touristy-then-ceremonial) gate, as it leads into the local Chinatown (which also contains a mixture of Japanese, Korean & even Philippino businesses!), what “type” of gate is it?

I think https://maps.app.goo.gl/f8drx31TULftgfjL8 is a symbolic gates
that modeled after an ancient paifang, which can meet the requirements of ceremonial_gate.
For https://maps.app.goo.gl/Xk4y2UCpLXGar9i99, it’s called “阙” in chinese. Que (tower) - Wikipedia , I think it’s maybe not suitable for ceremonial_gate.(but someone may think it is)

By the way, I think these ceremonial gates should satisfy the following conditions:

1. It has the shape of a gate but no door panels, is not attached to other buildings on the sides, and does not obstruct passage.
2. It has certain religious or cultural significance.

Sorry for my misplacement! I won’t disagree to tag historic structures among them as historic, but at the same time we should notice not every religious construction is historic. Some of those constructions may be just installed very on this day.

I have noticed this situation, now I think man_made=ceremonial_gate maybe better

[smallCat]

I have made a new proposal page Proposal:Man made=ceremonial gate - OpenStreetMap Wiki which use man_made=ceremonial_gate

[Jofban]

Thanks, it’s much better now. The first line still references historic=* though, should be changed to man_made=* too.

I have corrected it.

[dieterdreist (Martin Koppenhöfer)]

looks fine, please consider getting rid of the :type part of the key, ceremonial_gate=* says the same

[smallCat]

OK, I’ve corrected it. Thanks for the suggestion.

If the religious function is the motive for separating these isolated porches of any devoted to commemoration (triumphal arches in Europa, for example), one must examinate the monumental entries to a number of cemeteries in Europa and others continents too. In Brittany, there is a small region where the edifices in the christian cemetery around the church were build with the desire to emulate with the near parishes in 16th and 17th centuries. A massive porch made of stones is placed at the main entry of the Enclos paroissial (fr) or Kloz Iliz (breton), the name used for the entire ground. If « ceremonial gate » is voted, I suggest that historic porches for the ancient cemeteries will be considered as well.
