The significance of Clérisseau in the formation of Neoclassical architecture can be regarded as slightly inflated. Some reference should be made to the significance of Jean-Laurent Le Geay.

is Indo-Saracenic? --Dojarca 17:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- The Victoria Memorial is Classical but incorporates some Indian elements like onion domes. It could be argued that it belongs in both categories, but I think it lacks the "purity" associated with true neo-classical architecture. AFCR 11:16, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
