List of highest towns in Colorado: Just adding 20 entries here to the bottom, by doing some WP:SYNTH from primary sources, hoping that none were missed, does not create a viable second article.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:57, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : @ Fram , Mdewman6 ,  and Zzyzx11 : This list is a viable article on its own merits and should never have been redirected (without a discussion) to the List of cities in the United States by elevation just because some of its links are included in a different format and order on that list.  This is U.S. state -related list and an important part of the List of Colorado-related lists .  Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail 13:59, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] None of which explains why we need two nearly identical lists.  Every reader who is interested in the highest towns in Colorado gets a very good picture of it at the target list, and as editors we avoid the duplicate maintenance or risk of contradictory lists (e.g. why do they have a different order?).  Fram ( talk ) 15:27, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The two lists have different numerical rankings because multiple states are included in the national list.  Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail Note : Both this list and the completely updated List of cities in the United States by elevation were populated from a master list in the user namespace of towns in the United States above 7,600 feet (2,316 m).  That master list included 147 towns: 5 in Arizona, 4 in California, 108 in Colorado, 16 in New Mexico, 7 in Utah, and 7 in Wyoming.  Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail 14:17, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete I thank Buaidh for updating List of cities in the United States by elevation , so this article is no longer necessary.  Reywas92 Talk 18:45, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Why is this state-related list no longer necessary?  Are any state-related lists necessary?  Why should we not delete the List of cities in the United States by elevation (if most are in Colorado) and keep this one?  Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail 22:32, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Why would we do that?  The national list has more information so there is need for any state-specific list.  The fact that this one has different numerical rankings has no bearing: it's trivial for anyone to just count that 10th-ranked Breckenridge would be 9th when the Utah city is excluded; we shouldn't duplicate information just so we can say it with different numberings.  Reywas92 Talk 03:56, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to List of cities in the United States by elevation (or wherever that discussion ends up) Table is easily sorted by state and this is all but redundant, and the lede notes how many Coloradan communities are in the top 100.  I would also suggest locking this as a redirect for another obvious reason .  Nate • ( chatter ) 22:36, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ MrSchimpf : A cannabis reference?  I'm 75, a vegetarian, and obviously not a user.  Yours confusedly, Buaidh talk e-mail 22:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I would prefer that the List of cities in the United States by elevation redirect to this list since this list seems to be the more relevant.  Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail 22:53, 24 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment You've never had to deal with List of burn centers during the peak of that phrase as an insult.  Trust me, vandals find a way.  Nate • ( chatter ) 00:00, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] True enough, but I have been shot at multiple times.  Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail 00:50, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect , both content and context are suitably provided at the redirect target.  JoelleJay ( talk ) 05:22, 28 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect per all above and WP:ATD .  This list is an unnecessary WP:CFORK .  4meter4 ( talk ) 15:24, 2 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.  Please do not modify it.
