List of populated places in New Mexico

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page is a fork of List of municipalities in New Mexico and List of census-designated places in New Mexico, and incomplete list at that Mattximus (talk) 21:11, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I asked on the talk page 4 years ago if anyone opposed to deletion, and nobody opposed. I then forgot about it, but just saw it now. We already have List of municipalities in New Mexico which includes population for all cities, towns, and villages. We also have List of census-designated places in New Mexico which includes all census designated places and unincorporated communities. This third list is completely redundant. We can add population numbers to the latter, but it doesn't make sense to have 3 lists for the same thing. This page was chosen as redundant since it is an orphan article, no page on wikipedia links here. Mattximus (talk) 21:13, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Duplication bad. List of census-designated places in New Mexico is bad too though. It has a lot of unincorporated places that are not CDPs and should not be listed there, and it lacks populations like this page has. You've done a great job with these sorts of articles though.

 * Delete. The idea is not bad, but why is there are arbitrary cut-off at 1,000 pop? I don't think this is a workable list. Please ping me to convince me otherwise. FWIW, my triplet sister and our mother lived in NM, and I visited at least a dozen times. Bearian (talk) 01:09, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
