[edit] List of city halls

This list, if completed, would essentially be a list of all cities and towns on the planet. I think it should be deleted because such a list would be far too long to be useful, and because the posession of a town hall or city hall it is not a distinguishing feature of a town or city. This is my first AfD listing so please let me know if you see a problem. Musser 20:03, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nom - each city's article can link to an article about its city hall if its notable. Blackcats 21:19, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - agreed. --Petros471 21:27, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Nice list of our renowned city hall articles, just needs to be expanded -- JJay 03:02, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Agreed it is ridiculous to list every city and town hall on the planet. One city even listed a whooping 6 halls.--Huaiwei 04:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Administratively Hong Kong is not one city or multiple cities. It has no definition for city as an administrative division. That section is not for a city, but an entity. — Instantnood 11:43, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Huaiwei. --Terence Ong ^Talk 07:04, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. No harm, and I don't think categories can provide all the information presently included on the list. — Instantnood 11:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Would be nice to have one list of the city halls available. If a user wants to compare/contrast City Hall's around the world then this would a good starting point. Without this list, they would have to guess every city and go to each and every page to see if there is a link to a city hall. novacatz 12:07, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- Completely pointless. Do we have to include everything from the giant cinder block in Boston down to some trailer in a village of 60 people in Podunk, South Africa in order for it to be complete? (Especially because the distinction between city and town isn't exactly a clean one) Haikupoet 06:25, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
