List of adjectivals and demonyms for Colorado counties

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I proposed this list for deletion with the following arguments: "Let's see: the two exceptions, Broomfield and Denver, are included in the parallel list of Colorado cities. All other counties follow a normal pattern. The usefulness of this list is thus effectively zero. The notability of the subject is close to zero as well. There's a reason we don't have this list for any other state (or similar level in any other country), and there is clearly no reason to make an exception for Colorado, as these are not notable or noteworthy demonyms." The ProD was removed by the article creator with reason "While this list is not particularly noteworthy, there are eight exceptions in the adjectival column and two exceptions in the demonym column that do not follow the expected order." The two demonyms I handled above, the eight adjectival "exceptions" are counties which are also adjectivated by an abbreviation (e.g. Adams County and AdamsCo, Boulder County and BoCo). This rather trivial shorthand doesn't seem like sufficient justification to rebut my deletion proposal. Fram (talk) 12:35, 21 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. It is also completely unsourced, and it is unlikely that reliable sources can ever be found for these. bd2412  T 12:55, 21 October 2015 (UTC)


 * delete. Per above, and even if sourced WP is not a dictionary/slang dictionary/abbreviation dictionary. They can be added to the articles as appropriate, e.g. if sourced and worth adding. But this list serves no purpose.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 13:35, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - completely silly listcruft. Whoever refers to anything by a demonym related to a county? —Мандичка YO 😜 17:10, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sourced or not, verifiability doesn't guarantee inclusion. --Animalparty! (talk) 19:33, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
