I am also nominating the following related pages:

No improvement has been made to this incomplete set of lists (these are the only two, and the second list was only just begun) since they were first nominated for deletion over two years ago. That proposal was withdrawn in the expectation that someone was going to take on the task of completing these lists from B onwards. That has not happened and accordingly I am reopening the nomination. The lists have not been worked on since 2006. Cobblet (talk) 23:38, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Per User:IntoThinAir's suggestion below, I have added the parent page List of places in Canada to the nomination. Cobblet (talk) 08:13, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's been 12 years now, and still nobody's ever seen fit to complete B through Z at all — even the person who volunteered to work on them two years ago, leading me to withdraw that deletion nomination, never actually followed through on their pledge. This isn't an inherently terrible idea in theory if anybody were actually committed getting it completed, but there's no value in compiling it only up to Barachois and then never expanding even one town further in over a decade after that.

Delete. An abandoned project, unsourced and likely to already be covered elsewhere. Ajf773 (talk) 09:58, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If this page is deleted, then List of places in Canada (the parent page for both A and B) should probably be deleted too. IntoThinAir (talk) 04:44, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all three. It would be too long. Provincial/territorial lists would make more sense anyway. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:29, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per all of the above Spiderone 20:54, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all, abandoned project. The subject matter is covered better by the category hierarchy, as well as lists of smaller scope. PK T(alk) 14:07, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Very little benefit to organsing the information in this way given the work involved to maintain it.--Pontificalibus 08:28, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
