seems to have an obsession for deleting redirects, etc. in this area. I am creating this AfD on her behalf. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep seems a useful disambiguation page on a likely search term. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC) &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge with Cheyenne (disambiguation) - I think somebody searching for the "Cheyenne" that's not the race or the place in Wyoming will want all the information consolidated in one place. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:55, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation. There is no place called "Cheyenne, Colorado". There's no article page that links to Cheyenne, Colorado.
 * The items on the page were moved with the new List of places named Cheyenne, a set index article as also discussed at the disambiguation project page.
 * Also based upon the discussions there, the Cheyenne (disambiguation) page was edited to just include true disambiguation items, and namesakes were moved to Places named after the Cheyenne.
 * There's a See also section on the Cheyenne {disambiguation} page that links to List of places named Cheyenne.-- CaroleHenson (talk) 17:08, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Please see set index articles, which is a list article about a set of items of a specific type that share the same (or similar) name. disambiguation. Disambiguation is for multiple uses of the same term, not all the iterations of articles that include the term.-- CaroleHenson (talk) 17:17, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I just noticed this comment: "CaroleHenson seems to have an obsession for deleting redirects"- that's a misguided and inaccurate statement. I have been working on clean-up of a number of articles where inaccurate names were used and/or incorrect use of disambiguation pages, which is what "Cheyenne, Colorado" was. There is no "Cheyenne, Colorado" and there are several disambiguation pages and a list page for Places named Cheyenne (nw cleaned up/created as a work-around for inappropriate use of a disambig page). In this work, I think I've worked on deletion of 3 pages related to disamb-turned-to-redirect scenarios and had agreement from the Disambiguation project and administrators. I thought the direction that I received to use db-dab for disambig pages that had nothing on them once the inappropriate info was removed was the right way to go...since nothing links there.
 * This is just the tippy-top and miniscule issue in the whole scheme of the needed rewrites, and frustrated about how an editor can take things side-ways, remove good cited content from reliable sources, replace it with inaccurate or misguided interprettation of the information, and then it's becomes a complicated issue to resolve what I consider a really minor aspect (wrongly named pages), apparently through multiple forums.
 * I'm very confused. There's no "Cheyenne, Colorado" - and as mentioned earlier, a disambig and list page to sort it out.-- CaroleHenson (talk) 03:08, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. There are three possible entries for a dab page - Cheyenne County, Colorado, Cheyenne Mountain and Cheyenne Creek. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:30, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cheyenne (disambiguation) or Delete, with a slight preference for the former. There isn't any place in Colorado that is known simply as "Cheyenne." The three entries that User:Clarityfiend mentions are WP:PTMs, because no one would refer to the county, mountain, or creek as simply "Cheyenne," the suffix is always attached. I have a preference to redirect (even though it is technically incorrect), due to the fact that it is plausible that someone would search for "Cheyenne, Colorado." Tavix | Talk  23:30, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Reply. Not so. People routinely say "I climbed Everest" or "They crossed the Mississippi". The county's a bit borderline, but within the realm of possibility. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:52, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * But would anyone ever say "I climbed "Cheyenne, Colorado" or "I crossed the Cheyenne, Colorado"? older ≠ wiser 02:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * So one alternative is to redirect to a dab page which, according to Tavix, has no matches? Clarityfiend (talk) 01:27, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete. None of the potential entries are ever likely to be referred to as "Cheyenne, Colorado". If not deleted, it should redirect to the Cheyenne (disambiguation) as incomplete disambiguation. older ≠ wiser 02:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as a useful disambig solely confined to Colorado geographical subjects (whereas the main Cheyenne disambig will necessarily include native-American subjects, etc). Pax 08:36, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cheyenne (disambiguation). Dab pages which duplicate subsets of others are usually a bad idea, as any new item will be added randomly to one or the other but probably not to both. Pam  D  09:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
