Category talk:Denver metropolitan area

Archived discussion regarding deletion
The decision was to KEEP this category.


 * Category:Denver_metropolitan_area -> Category:Denver, Colorado
 * Category:Denver_metropolitan_area is probably the better named category as the metropolitan area includes more than just Denver. &mdash;Mike 19:54, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think we need to create categories expressly for metropolitan areas...I started doing this at first by creating "(city) suburbs" categories, but I think the better idea is to follow the MSA designations, as in Category:New York metropolitan area. Postdlf 01:57, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I restored this after it was improperly deleted&mdash;comments above make it two votes to keep vs. the one deletion nomination. It makes absolutely no sense to make the metro area a subtopic of the Denver city category&mdash;that reverses the actual relationship. Including the other cities within the metro area within the Denver city category also wrongfully implies that they are not independent municipalities. Please take a look at the category's current contents. I haven't finished filling it yet (I am currently running on a ten-year old backup computer thanks to my lousy laptop burning out again), but you can see how it is supposed to work.
