[edit] Muddy York

An article for a nickname? I don't think so. There is already an article for York, Upper Canada that mentions this moniker. Either delete or redirect because there is no reason to have what is essentially a duplicate article. Suttungr 13:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. If this fascinating gobbet of information really is interesting then add it to some other article, presumably Toronto. BTLizard 13:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. L0b0t 14:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Doesn't need a separate article unless there is so lot to say about the history or usage of the term that it needs to be split out of the main article. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 14:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: the most appropriate place for this information is Toronto's name, which has an etymology, historical context, and past and present nicknames. Mindmatrix 14:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

It's only been open for a bit more than 24 hours; although an admin can close early if a clear consensus has already emerged, the standard is to leave AFD discussions open for a week. And as an admin, I certainly wouldn't deem five-to-three as the kind of consensus required to close it this early in the process. Bearcat 19:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
