Colorado counties and the list of counties in Colorado[edit]

The Wikipedia:List guideline recommends that stand-alone list articles be used to display simple lists of information and navigation links to detailed articles. The guideline recommends against using tables in list articles. Lists should be kept simple and annotation should generally be limited to Wikipedia:Footnotes.

In 2002, 50 list articles of U.S. counties by state were created to expedite the creation of articles about every county (or county equivalent) in the United States. These 50 county list articles originally contained nothing more than a simple list of every county in each state (see the original list of counties in Colorado). Subsequently, some of these county list articles have been embellished beyond usefulness, while others have remained simple functional lists.

I recommend that the list of counties in Colorado be restored to a simple list of Colorado counties (as recommended by the Wikipedia:List guideline), and any further elaboration be placed in the general article Colorado counties. Your thoughts? --15:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Buaidh

Sorry, that horse left the barn a long time ago. For a "simple list of Colorado counties" see Category:Colorado counties. Nobody will ever be able to embellish that into mutiple complicated sortable tables of data. – Wbm1058 (talk) 19:19, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with List of counties in Colorado[edit]

The two lists are basically the same; the List of counties in Colorado article is just a historic-based list, while the Colorado counties article is a statistical list. Epicgenius^{(give him tirade • check out damage)} 23:16, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:List of counties in Colorado#Merger proposal. This page ("Colorado counties") is the odd one out; all states have "List of counties in X" pages. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 12:13, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
