List of towns in New Brunswick

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Also nominating:
 * List of villages in New Brunswick
 * List of rural communities in New Brunswick

Wholly redundant to List of municipalities in New Brunswick. The main list is not so long it needs to be split, contains additional and more up-to-date information, and has municipality type as the the default sort, so there is no reason to have another page just for the towns, villages, or rural communities. Per WP:REDUNDANTFORK these duplicative articles are discouraged. Reywas92Talk 21:02, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the list of municipalities. The municipalities list was created in 2008 in this version;  the town list was created in 2013. Redirection saves the edit history and any possible content that could be resurrected, and is okay as an alternative to deletion here.  The list of towns can be seen within the table of municipalities, sorted by type of municipality, with--I believe--all the fields of info currently in the towns list.  --Doncram (talk) 16:54, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:RELART. A "town" is a separate definition from a municipality, and it's not an improper sub-article. SportingFlyer  talk  19:30, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * A town is a type of municipality, but per List of municipalities in New Brunswick there is no difference other than size. These are not "distinct but related topics", but the very same topic - all content is simply duplicated and not even presented differently. This does not meet that section's examples of direction at difference audiences or interrelated people. Reywas92Talk 20:45, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I still disagree. Towns and municipalities are defined separately by New Brunswick, even though I understand a town is a subset of a municipality. If you look at articles for other provinces, they all follow the same format: municipality page, with lists broken out by village and town. Deleting these articles would remove compatibility with other provincial municipality pages, even though each province seems to define sub-municipalities a little bit differently. These are valid lists, and the "sortable" argument doesn't work considering not every browser or mobile device will allow things to be sorted in the same way.

 * Redirect to list of municipalities. Everything is already there, including a sortable table, so if some one want to know only the towns, they could sort it. No need to duplicate information.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:58, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect To List of municipalities, since this is essentially a duplicate of that info. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 19:35, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
