Question about locations.

I just had a question about the locations pages.  I would say that while concepts are obviously general ideas, like hamburger, locations are supposed to be particular places, like New York City, New York.  I just bring this up as I found some location pages that seemed a little too general to me to be locations, for example Excavation Site and, even more generically, Alley.  Just wondering about this.

Locations are given this definition in the Wiki FAQ: "A named location is one with either strong aspects persisting through iterations or an unique area that has distinctive features separating it from others." The more generalized location pages fall within the "strong aspects persisting through iterations" part. I'd say Excavation Site meets this requirement. Alley, however is probably a bit too general.

I think generic locations serve a purpose. If you want to know what games take place in, say, a library or a temple it's good to have the generic locations because many games have unnamed yet fairly specific settings.
