Tag implication: storefront -> shop

Posted under Tags

Don't you think if someone is searching for a shop they don't just want to see its entrance or signage but rather a close-up of a shop or its interior?

storefront -shop

The implication work work well in some of these cases, but in others a storefront is an uninteresting part of the background and lacks detail.

So, -1

Well, yeah. That might be true, but those cases are slim.
So why shouldn't a post like post #2368631 not tagged with shop?

And really, most of those pics you mention here shows the action right in front of the building/shop. There are very few pics where there is the focus on the scenery. But then: Why bother tagging this then with storefront if the focus isn't on the building per se?

And for images like post #2022707 I'm wondering how this is tagged with storefront. There isn't any real indication and a price list (left) is also found on restaurants...So this doesn't really qualify for the sorefront tag.

I think both tags work well for that example but it doesn't mean it necessarily works for all.

I guess that if the detail is not good enough to make out that a building is a store that the storefront doesn't have sufficient detail to have that tag either. How would you tag the following edge cases: shop, storefront, or shop+storefront? If the latter is right than I don't really have a basis to object to the implication.

Besides that issue there is one other. Some posts using storefront depict the openings of restaurants rather than shops. For these I think facade or some other tag should be used assuming that, as in the discussion you linked, storefront is meant only for various types of shops, not retail or dining. It would essentially storefront but for non-shop establishments. (And perhaps storefront could also implicate it as well).

Facade would be storefront but for non-shop establishments. (And perhaps storefront could also implicate facade)

Well, in this case, I'd be for an alias from storefront to facade simply because it's pretty difficult to tell sometimes if the building is a shop or a restaurant or something different. So those tags serve pretty much the same purpose?

But for your four examples: I guess I would. It's not like the shop needs to be in the center of the image, other like scenery for the scenery tag. Pretty much like the ocean tag: If it is visible, I tag it. Doesn't matter if it is in the background^^.
