Fix Midway (disambiguation)

Swept in from the pub

Just being lazy (or rather, there are much more important things to do). I created the Midway (disambiguation) page and gave it a start, but if you look at w:Midway#Places there are lots more places to be added. I've listed all the instances where there is just one town/city named Midway in a state, but the page still needs all the "Midway" places where there are multiple places in one U.S. state (go through w:Midway, Arkansas (disambiguation) and so forth). Just seems like a waste of time with all that's going on. If someone wants to finish the page, knock yourselves out! The only Midway pages on WV are Midway Islands, Midway (Georgia), & Midway (Kentucky). AHeneen (talk) 08:14, 17 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure the full list is really needed here—is there a compelling reason to link articles that don't (and may never) exist? A lot of the time those lists get filled up with tiny census designated places that probably don't merit an article. --Peter Talk 08:53, 17 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
In some cases, these lists contain places which don't have an article because they're close to some existing city and treated as suburbs. For instance, Carthage was originally in Africa, but Carthage (disambiguation) lists Carthage (Missouri) and Carthage (New York), among others. The town in Missouri exists as an article, the village in NY is likely too close to Watertown (New York) to merit anything more than Carthage - see Watertown.

Return to "Midway" page.
