List of U.S. cities with Wikipedia article names without state

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I believe this is a useless list: For one thing it's essentially a self reference, and that's really the only context it could be useful in. I don't believe that any reader would particularly want to find or see a list of these articles. OSbornarfcontribs. 01:18, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I moved it to Wikipedia namespace, it is useful for cleanup. When working on articles on cites editors search for the state name, these don't have the state name, so I moved to List of U.S. cities with Wikipedia article names without state. It is only of interest for cleanup bots and other automated Wikipedia processes. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:45, 20 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Withdrawing nom on the page itself as it's been moved to a more appropriate namespace. I suggest the redirect be deleted, however. OSbornarfcontribs. 01:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Richard Arthur Norton, you understood exactly why I created this page. I removed the now-inappropriate Article for deletion template from the article. When I originally created the article, I carelessly had "U.S" instead of "U.S." in the article name, so that redirect needs to go, and the more recent redirect can be deleted as well, as far as I'm concerned. —Anomalocaris (talk) 02:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
