List of counties that the Appalachian trail passes through

Contested prod. Wikipedia is not a guidebook, but generally just uninteresting and encyclopedic listcruft. EeepEeep (talk) 06:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect and/or merge to Appalachian Trail by state which covers much the same idea. No need for two articles where one would do.  -- Jayron  32  06:24, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge any useful information to Appalachian Trail by state, as mentioned above, then redirect. - EdoDodo  talk 07:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Selectively merge to Appalachian Trail by state. Wikipedia is not a guide book.  Them From  Space  07:23, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to the trail by state article, where one can add to the section about "Maine" by noting (in one sentence, not a useless column) that the trail passes through Piscataquis County, Somerset County, Franklin County, Oxford County, and then move on to the next state with more information. This has never been anything more than an uninformative and indiscriminate list of blue-links, and it makes the assumption that the Appalachian trail is discussed in more detail in the link.  Click on any of the names, and it's highly unlikely that you'll see the Appalachian Trail mentioned at all.  I'm surprised that this wasn't nominated back in 2008.

 * Comment If someone wants to do the merge, I guess that would be ok. But I suspect the information will eventually get deleted from the trail by state articles (not by me though).  I just don't see how it's informative/interesting/useful/encyclopedic. EeepEeep (talk) 23:17, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
