The result was keep - as the nominator isn't actually arguing for deletion, nor is anyone else, it seems pointless to relist this. Discussion of moves goes at Requested moves. --Sam Blanning(talk) 23:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

List of U.S. government designations for places
The information seems OK, but I don't like the name of the page, it seems a bit vague. Maybe I should put this on "requests for rename-age", but I don't know the template for that. So it's here instead. Plus, the page has gone nearly 2 years without any editting, so I've a feeling the info is somewhere else anyway. --Dangherous 17:10, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Hmm, the article's name does feel a little awkward, but the information itself probably isn't entirely a bad idea. I just wonder if it's redundant to some more promienent article? FrozenPurpleCube 17:54, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It appears to duplicate Category:Protected areas of the United States. -- Bpmullins 18:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, not entirely, as there are some remaining redlinks. FrozenPurpleCube 00:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * More Comment It looks like this article pre-dates the category. I'm generally in favor of categories over lists, but if your only objection is the name, I wonder if it wouldn't be better if you just moved it to a more appropriate name. Incidentally, the related category had had a similar debate. ScottW 00:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
