The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was DELETE. The bulk of the redirecters are refuted pretty thoroughly by Kjkolb, Car salesman's is not a useful comment at all, and redirecting it to city...well...I guess maybe, but who's going to type this in the search box? -Splash^talk 01:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Outskirts (city)

I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but I don't think this will ever be more than a dictdef - and one that's already in Wiktionary. Grutness...wha? 00:39, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, as "outskirts" is not equivalent to "exurb". Outskirts need not refer to a "ring of prosperous rural communities beyond the suburbs." It refers to the edge of a geographic area, regardless of whether there is a community there. For example, "a factory on the outskirts of the city," is not the same as, "a factory in the exhurb of the city." The factory may be in a rural setting with no communites or an industrial area. Also, the outskirts of a small village would not be considered an exurb. -- Kjkolb 14:30, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I think it was a good try, though. -- Kjkolb 14:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
