List of Marilyns in Cornwall

The content is already listed on List of Marilyns in England. Cornwall is not a separate country in the same way that England, Scotland, Wales, etc. are. If the all of the English counties were split into separate pages, we would have dozens of separate lists each with only a few entries. That's not helpful. ras52 (talk) 12:17, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List_of_Marilyns_in_England (I hope that sections like these in the list get an extra column to specify the county the marilyn is in.) - Mgm|(talk) 13:03, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment A county column is a good suggestion — I'm sure we can work that into the page. —ras52 (talk) 01:22, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I was very afraid this was a list of women named Marilyn who lived in some geographic unit, and was greatly relieved that a "Marilyn" is a small hill. Why not refer to them as "hills" for better comprehension by English speakers worldwide? This is apparently a neologism in response to hills somewhere else being called "Munros," and a play on Marilyn Monroe. Hills 150 meters (482 feet) high are as common as dirt around the world, so as to be non-notable. In fact, I own one. Edison (talk) 02:42, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment "Hills 150 meters (482 feet) high are as common as dirt", but that's not the only definition of one.  Lugnuts  (talk) 09:42, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment.  Just to clarify, hills satisfying the criteria for Marilyns are not especially common in England — there are only 180 of them, 84% of which have Wikipedia articles.  The fact that they are unusually prominent hills by English standards is what makes the notable; no-one is disputing that if they were situated in the Himalaya, they would not be notable.  Also, as Lugnuts hints at, the Marilyns are not simply hills that are 150 m high—they rise 150 m above the surrounding countryside, which is something quite different.  (See topographic prominence for a discussion on how to rigorously define "rising 150 m above their surroundings".) —ras52 (talk) 12:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
