Atlanta
I think it is good to mention which counties Atlanta is in, in the lede of this list-articles, to help me and other readers/editors trying to find it. There is some disagreement about it, i am not sure why. Mentioning Atlanta has been deleted at least twice, just now by with edit summary "That's true, but we don't mention any other cities". I guess that is a reply to my edit summary back in August, "Undid revision 380432024 by Nyttend (talk). Restore useful mention of where Atlanta listings can be found." There's been similar discussion in other state NRHP lists, like whether it is allowable to state where Minneapolis and St. Paul are in National Register of Historic Places listings in Minnesota. Nyttend, would you comment here, and would you accept comments of others towards ending this churning back and forth about Atlanta? If it is a Vote, i vote for mentioning Atlanta as being clearly helpful. --doncram (talk) 23:38, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

partition/grouping GA counties
What partition of GA into groups of counties can be used to divide the NRHP list-articles better? Currently each separate county is split out into a separate list-article, even if there is just one NRHP, which is indefensible/unacceptable IMHO. See wt:NRHP for related discussion, including for a proposal to partition North Dakota. For Georgia there is no immediately obvious proposal to make yet. I hope to figure something out by discussion here, if possible. User:Bubba73, User:Ebyabe, User:25or6to4, any ideas?

Per this source, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources classifies counties into 5 regions:
 * Ridge & Valley
 * This consists of 9 counties with 131 NRHPs in total, perhaps okay as one list-article IMO


 * Blue Ridge Mountains
 * This consists of 5 counties with 19 NRHPs in total, fine to be grouped together IMO


 * Piedmont
 * Too big, needs to be further split


 * Upper Coastal Plain
 * Too big, needs to be further split


 * Lower Coastal Plain
 * Too big, needs to be further split, could perhaps be split by river basins?

Also Georgia Encyclopedia's map of regions shows 4 regions but also mentions dividing the coastal plain section into upper vs. lower coastal plain. Perhaps those could be further subdivided? There are also about 13 separate river basins which could be used in further subdivisions. And the Atlanta metropolitan region probably has some definition, and there must be other regions defined for economic development or for tourism purposes. Hmm, Geography of Georgia (U.S. state) does not show the 5 regions defined by others, and perhaps should be revised. -- do ncr  am  19:45, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Atlanta metro region is defined by "KnowAtlanta.com" to include:
 * "Intown" being Fulton County alone. Note our National Register of Historic Places listings in Fulton County, Georgia has 210 NRHPs, perhaps should be split.  Perhaps part could be recombined with Atlanta part of National Register of Historic Places listings in DeKalb County, Georgia (which has 55 total, with 20 identified as being in Atlanta)
 * "North counties and cities": Gilmer (2) Pickens (7) Cherokee (9) Forsyth (5), so total 23 NRHPs
 * " Northeast": DeKalb (55), Gwinnett (19), Hall (22), Walton (25), so total 121
 * "Northwest": Bartow (21), Cobb (46), Paulding (4), so total 51
 * "South": Douglas (8) Fayette (3) Clayton (5) Henry (13) Rockwell (6) (and a Lowndes is mentioned but Lowndes County is far away and is not shown in their map), so 35 total

Hmm, this Georgia Economic Development regions map (linked from this Georgia businesses webpage) shows 12 regions but they are just numbered 1 to 12 and not given descriptive names. Per this page mentions in 1998 the state was divided into 12 service regions, by Governor and General Assembly, and this was further updated in 1999, 2004, 2005. These seem to be meaningful regions then, with this numbered map for services being the same regions as the map defined for economic development.

And there are 9 tourism regions including "Magnolia Midlands", "Coast", etc. ExploreGeorgia's webpage with map showing the 9 regions. -- do ncr  am  20:13, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
