List of numbered highways in Amenia (CDP), New York[edit]

List of numbered highways in Amenia (CDP), New York (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

The list is based on a census-designated place. CDPs do not have static boundaries unlike cities, towns, villages , townships, counties or states. The Census Bureau could redefine the boundaries of Amenia at any time for any reason, or even abolish the designation completely. As such, to use a CDP as a geographic limit is not wise. The list includes only 4 items, and given the CDP criterion for defining the list, it's overcategorized. Imzadi1979 (talk) 00:09, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I agree with the nominator in that this is excessively unnecessary. Moreover, it should be demoted from featured status due to the implementation of WP:WIAFL #3b. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 00:25, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Has been delisted. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete unnecessary list per nom. Have we ever gone and entirely deleted a featured article or list before? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 00:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge - info is still useful. Should be merged into Amenia (CDP), New York. Geraldk (talk) 00:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Polaron merged the useful info.Geraldk (talk) 14:36, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - As much as I would hate to see a FL get deleted, this list covers four numbered roads in a CDP of 1,115 people. It is unnessecary for lists of highways to exist for every little community such as Amenia, they only need to exist for counties or larger cities. Dough4872 (talk) 01:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge some (the history section perhaps?) into Amenia (CDP), New York, but not all of it or we'll overwhelm that article. Hate to do it because it is well-written, but the CDP isn't nearly large enough to justify a list like this. BryanG (talk) 04:48, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Switch to straight-up delete. Polaron is right, there's really nothing further to merge at this point. BryanG (talk) 16:39, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Can't someone simply mention in the article about Anemia, New York, that U.S. 44, State highways 22 and 343, and county road 81 run through it? Mandsford (talk) 12:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Aside from mentioning which roads run through the hamlet (already done), the rest of the content of the list (including the history section) is already mentioned in the individual highway articles. There is nothing left to merge. --Polaron | Talk 13:30, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete All necessary information appears to have already been moved to Amenia (CDP), New York. just a little insignificant 14:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom and Polaron. This article is completely unnecessary. – TMF 16:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - NN. How was this ever a featured status article? Amenia is a nice place, I've been there, but this is far too much trivia for such a small place. Bearian (talk) 18:57, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Per all reasons above. –CG 21:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Per above. Also to note, cities don't have static boundaries either, see San Antonio's city limit changes over the years. --Holderca1 ^talk 20:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cities aren't static, but they are less arbitrary than the boundaries of a CDP. The process to change the boundaries of a city is more involved than a bureaucratic/statistical redefinition in a far-flung office someplace. Imzadi1979 (talk) 21:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
