New York (U.S. state)

• New York already exists as the article for the state, and there is no need for a duplicated article with a dis-ambiguation suffix. Delete if no one can think of a disadvantage of having the article for the state at New York. Georgia guy 00:51, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as duplicate Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:55, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Make a redirect and cancel the needless vote. Some people will (and do) link to this title anyway, so it's not useless as a redirect.--Pharos 00:59, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, as per "What links here", the only two things that link to this article are this VFD discussion itself and the WP:RFD discussion for the entirely useless New York (U.S. state) (disambiguation). Uncle G 10:26, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)
• Delete....how is this not a speedy delete. Oh well. Do whatever except keep. Cburnett 01:10, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Make a redirect in agreement with Pharos. Courtland 01:26, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)
• This isn't a speedy delete because it should be redirected. Kappa 02:40, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Honestly, if this vfd wasn't already in play.....I'd blank the page and make it a redirect. Cburnett 02:46, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Go for it, Be bold! Tygar 03:39, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)

  • Actually you're being underlined here :)
