I am posting here the talk page comments from City clerk and Town clerk that existed before the merger into this article.

It seems to me that City clerk and Town clerk may be covering the same ground, but I'm not sure. I started looking at these to see which one was closest to Village clerk (for which I wanted to create a redirect instead of a new article), and while I chose to link it to Town clerk, I'm left wondering if all three positions wouldn't just fit in one article. If someone who knows about these would care to comment, I'd be interested in what you had to say. HuskyHuskie (talk) 03:35, 12 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The problem is the differences. There are country differences which have to be treated. There may be regional differences in the US. Both of these for one position, not three. Merging three tends to create havoc in trying to outline the article with people adding exceptions all over the place. Harder to do with three separate articles.


 * Take a look at New England town which should be "about the same" for the entire New England states. It is a monstrosity with nearly no hope of readability! A good idea gone bad. Sometimes separate is better, unfortunately. Student7 (talk) 12:52, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
