List of New York county name etymologies

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Redundant and unsourced version of List of counties in New York, which also lists the etymology of each county (and the article is sourced, and featured, so...).  upstate NYer  20:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Included Lists of U.S. county name etymologies in List of counties in New York. If this article is deleted, I'll update that template to link to List of counties in New York instead.  upstate NYer  20:57, 13 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy redirect No unique information, totally redundant. Reywas92 Talk  21:34, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It seems like a lot of the states on that template have the same or similar problems. Many of them already redirect to their counterpart "List of counties" article, but many of them don't, and contain redundant information. I propose merging every article in the template Lists of U.S. county name etymologies into their corresponding article in U.S. Counties. If consensus is gained, I would be up for the task.

 * Agree, but only since I won't have to do it. :)  upstate NYer  22:20, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I already redirected about eight of them. Just do a quick run-though that the information is the same and redirect it to the main county list. Give a good edit summary and you should be fine. The navbox should also be deleted. Reywas92 Talk  22:32, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Pictogram voting wait green.svg|20px]] I checked over a bunch more, merged, and redirected. There are now 14 left. Note: those that already redirected have been italicized on the Lists of U.S. county name etymologies template.  JUJUTACULAR  04:33, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Finished merging/redirecting all of the articles in Lists of U.S. county name etymologies. I'll be nominating that template for deletion pending the outcome of this AfD.  JUJUTACULAR  18:28, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete If there weren't already a section of etymology on the table in List of counties in New York, I'd say keep, but this is one of those cases where it's been done. The author may have information here that needs to be added there.  I understand there was probably some hard work involved, of course, and it's kind of like Scott finding Amundsen's flag at the South Pole to learn that most of it has been for naught.  It happens.

 * Support redirect Thank you for your efforts Jujutackular. Let me know when the template goes up for deletion and I'll be happy to weigh in.  upstate NYer  21:34, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Since this has been redirected, which I agree with, why not close out this discussion? --JohnnyB256 (talk) 00:14, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
