Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cities with same latitude

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was inconclusive, but I have taken the liberty of redirecting the article to List of cities by latitude, for which there was some support. sjorford &rarr;&bull;&larr; 16:59, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Cities with same latitude

 * I see no reason how can it be encyclopedic (Especially the title), even if it's some sort of trivia. - Mailer Diablo 18:43, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I was considering this one as well. I left it alone because I can imagine how a table of cities sorted by latitude could be interesting (we could even add Cities by latitude links to city articles), and WP won't be able to dynamically generate one anytime soon. Too bad this tiny substub thingy is so indefensibly useless, I don't like the precedent its deletion is going to set. Rl 19:34, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Concur with Antandrus (Redirect to List of cities by latitude, which provides exactly what I wanted). Good find. Rl 08:00, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Trivia, non-encyclopedic.  With all respect to Rl, I think deleting this article is a good precedent.  If you need to know cities at the same latitude, lay a ruler across a Mercator projection.  Cities being coincidentally at the same latitude may be moderately interesting, but I'm having trouble finding its encyclopedic value. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 22:39, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of cities by latitude, since that already has the information. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 21:37, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Josh Cherry 01:49, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not encyclopaedic. Megan1967 01:56, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, trivial. DaveTheRed 04:03, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * delete, or alternatively, propose "pairs of cities which can have a straight line drawn through both of them" and "groups of three cities which can hvae a parabola drawn through their centres". Mozzerati 17:31, 2005 Mar 6 (UTC)
 *  Delete . Probably the best way to handle this issue is to have a list of cities sorted by latitude.  (I can make one pretty easily if anyone wants.)  Antandrus 04:26, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Never mind; there already is one: so Redirect to List of cities by latitude.  Antandrus 04:49, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of cities by latitude. Grue 16:55, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
