New Market Historic District

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I believe this DAB page is unnecessary since all but one list entry are redlinks. The "see also" is fine, but could at worst be hatnoted on the remaining blue link, and in any case it is unlikely that someone would arrive at this page by accident. I propose the DAB page is deleted and either redirected to the existing blue link (New Market Historic District (New Market, Maryland)) or that link is then moved into its place.

 * Oppose: Keep: Clearly, there's a distinction between other "New Market Historic Districts." It's obvious somebody has been planning to write articles for the other three, or they're leaving room for somebody else to do so. DanTD (talk) 12:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Dab pages like this are useful. Redlinks encourage article creation. Mjroots (talk) 13:34, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Since all of the redlinked articles are NRHP sites, they "should" all have articles and will, eventually. If this page is deleted now, it will just have to be recreated later and it costs essentially nothing to keep it. It will also save editor time when those articles are created because it makes obvious the fact that the new articles must use a dab form, such as New Market Historic District (New Market, Virginia). . . .

 * Comment I can well see the points there, except perhaps that really it's not a DAB, but a list (and I am not trying to argue that). There's also New Market (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) which is not an historic district but is on the NRHP (I guess it's a landmark or something else other than a district). This whole DAB is very much a side concern for me, as I am more concerned to merge the DAB articles New Market and Newmarket, and considering those well put arguments, I beg to withdraw my proposal to delete.
