Delete. Very much would rely on WP:SYN. Also, what is the point? And why the supercalifragalisticexpealong name? Vicenarian(T · C) 19:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete What is the point? This is for no use and is just complicated. Highest Heights (talk) 19:57, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I get the idea, although there's really not that much you can do within the scope of this article -- basically, three more entries after 1492 (16th, 17th, and 18th century), and then a debate about what century an old city came about ("8th Century B.C.-- Rome" or whatever). I can forsee that someone might want to do something similar to List of American cities by year of foundation (which is referring to the Americas, not just the U.S.A.) for the "Old World" cities (quite a few were constructed in the 20th century just in the old U.S.S.R.). Or someone could make a (sourced to an almanac) list of fastest growing cities for each decade. Mandsford (talk) 20:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unencyclopedic and unmaintainable. Also, over 100 characters for an article title is a bit much dont you think?--RadioFan (talk) 21:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Centuries are completely arbitrary chunks of time. Drawn Some (talk) 21:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Arbitrary inclusion. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 21:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Agree with nominator that it is a "pointless list".--Susan118 (talk) 22:15, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, possibly the worst example of listcruft I've yet seen. Ironholds (talk) 01:17, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete, this is the sort of thing that people make fun of Wikipedia for. Daniel Case (talk) 03:33, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps. But I hope that worrying, about what other people might think, will not deter someone from contributing. Mandsford (talk) 12:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unmaintainable, and hardly useful for anyone wanting to study urbanism. Ottre 04:09, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Delete listcruft and per Drawn Some . feydey (talk) 08:52, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Am I wrong in invoking WP:SNOW here? Seems like I've been doing that a lot. Vicenarian(T · C) 13:20, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, clear listcruft and too incomplete to be of any use. Tris2000 (talk) 13:54, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Which of the speedy deletion criterion does this fall under? –Juliancolton | Talk 16:35, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
BJAODN – besides WP:SNOW, clear trivial intersection. At least I now know what Brasilia and Chicago have in common just in case, say, I go on a game show like Jeopardy! someday. MuZemike 03:01, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
BJAODN and also WP:DAFT. Complete listcruft. Also suggest snowballing this. FirestormTalk 03:04, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
