Talk:Piñon, Colorado

Retitle and move to Piñon, Colorado
During the recent AfD, part of the discussion involved a suggestion to rename and move this article from Piñon, Montrose County to Piñon, Colorado, the correct name per WP's standard naming conventions, and per the fact there is no other town or city named Piñon in Colorado.

Because I'm fairly confident this would be an uncontroversial move, and don't think there will be a technical barrier to doing so, and I don't believe it is required to open a formal move request. There is an admin backlog for requested moves, and so I'm opening this more informal talk page discussion.

Courtesy pings to editors who participated in the AfD discussion: @Pbritti, @SportingFlyer, @TheNuggeteer. Also courtesy pinging @Liz, the admin that closed the AfD after it was withdrawn to keep her in the loop of communication. Any additional page watchers or interested editors are welcome to comment here. – Netherzone (talk) 15:37, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Support: I think most people agree that Piñon is the COMMONNAME. Seeing as no other Piñons existed in Colorado, referencing the county goes outside the norm for article names, especially the county without the state. See Netherzone's comments on my talk page for extended content. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Support rename to Piñon, Colorado (as one who who helped out in the post-AFC cleanup efforts days ago). --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 11:16, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Future GA?
Netherzone, you mentioned being unfamiliar with GA; if you decide you'd like to try nominating this yourself I'd be glad to give you advice as you go through the process. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:36, 11 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you @Mike Christie for this offer. I may take you up on it once my time frees up.
 * And good news on the image date in the Denver Public Library Digital Collections - the exact creation date of the photo is July 16, 1897, so it is clearly out of copyright. See link to the image and date here: . I will update the info on the image file, correcting the date and adding the name of the photographer. I must have gotten the 1906 date from a news article published in 1906. I learned a lesson...never assume! Netherzone (talk) 14:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
