List of fictional towns in Texas[edit]
We already have List of fictional cities this article just seems superfluous to me. --The_stuart 14:44, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Superfluous. --Salleman 17:31, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. You can't tell me those are the only two fictional towns in Teas. -- Visviva 15:49, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete "List of fictional towns in X" is an unnecessary species at this time; redundant with "List of fictional cities." Xoloz 04:29, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- From the LFC: "This page is 52 kilobytes long. This may be longer than is preferable." -- Visviva 04:32, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, but why Texas, and specifically, why by place at all? "List of fictional towns in Literature" or "...Television", or "...American Literature"? Or, if by place, why not "...in the US" or "...in the UK," etc. Texas seems arbitrarily tiny for this sort of thing. Also, consider, "...beginning with A-L" and "beginning with M-Z" as another way to split things. Xoloz 06:50, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Why not all of the above? The great thing about Wikipedia is that we can list and categorize things in as many different ways as we want... including by US state, which although somewhat strange actually provides a lot more user value than "List of fictional towns beginning with A." -- Visviva 12:23, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, Wikipedia is wonderful, but multiple lists with the same information would be redundant, and (more importantly) less user-friendly -- it would be extremely difficult to get a comprehensive list of fictional towns if the filing system were eclectic and repetitive.
