Nicknames of Washington, D.C.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails basic notability requirements. I can see no reason not to include this information in the Washington, D.C. article.


 * Delete, the Washington, D.C. article has a section on nicknames and there is no reason for a separate article MarkZusab (talk) 16:15, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and comment: In the DC article it seems barely more than clutter and trivia, and has been removed (pending Talk page discussion).  If this article is headed for the dustbin it should be because it's OR, Synthesis, trivia and almost certainly incomplete; and not because it can be shoehorned into the main article.
 * It's also almost completely redundant of the info contained at List of city nicknames in the United States. JohnInDC (talk) 16:56, 8 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete. It's nearly duplicated in List of city nicknames in the United States, plus Washington doesn't really have a well-known nickname. DMV? Is that supposed to be the next Big (Rotten) Apple? Hey, now there's a thought ... Clarityfiend (talk) 00:57, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete for being the seat of redundancy. -The Gnome (talk) 08:49, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
