Talk:Lewiston (town), New York

message: The sidebar on the article has the Label Town and demographic and geographic data for the Town of Lewiston and the graphic red map placement for the Village of Lewiston. The Town has a separate page without this sidebar. Not sure how to edit/correct these components and to place appropriate material on the respective Town page.

message: As this is a near total duplicate of Lewiston (village), New York and we have an article about a town it's located within called Lewiston (town), New York, what is the best course of action for this article, redirecting to one of those articles or turning this into a disambiguation page? 69.118.33.213 (talk) 19:00, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: *Article histories indicate that this article is a duplicate of Lewiston (village), New York and both article have been updated in parallel.  Changing Lewiston, New York into a disambiguation page makes sense, but let's get a consensus. • Gene93k (talk) 19:53, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This was discussed above, see Talk:Lewiston, New York#Duplicate of Lewiston (village), New York.  This seems to be a New York phenomena.  I'm not sure what the reason for it was.  Magnolia677 (talk) 23:59, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

text: After looking at the A's in :Category:Towns in New York (state) and :Category:Villages in New York (state), I find that 14 town-village pairs have town articles without the (town) disambiguation (Adams, Addison, Afton, Alden, Alexander, Almond, Andover, Angelica, Antwerp, Arcade, Argyll, Athens, Avoca, and Avon), while three have (town) in the title (Albion, Allegany, Attica). This agrees with my own opinion, that the town is the primary topic. I've updated Lewiston (village), New York with the slightly later (2016 vs 2015) population estimates; everything else is now, AFAIK, the same or better (e.g. notable residents, reference definition issue) in the village article. Therefore, I propose that Lewiston (town), New York be moved here (with an optional hatnote to the village). Clarityfiend (talk) 08:58, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
