Towns vs villages
Queensland geography does not have a concept of villages. It has a concept of towns (a centre of urban population which is unbounded) and localities/suburbs (bounded areas). The lists in this article are very confusing! Kerry (talk) 08:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
Merge List of Mackay suburbs here
This article, Mackay Region, already includes a list of Mackay suburbs. Furthermore, the current List of Mackay suburbs is completely unreferenced and duplicates information that you can automatically get from the Category tag Category:Suburbs of Mackay, Queensland. For this reason, it seems reasonable to redirect to Mackay Region. If you disagree with this, @Vic Park, then please add at least one citation to List of Mackay suburbs (and preferably a bit of preamble (with citations) to contextualise the list, to make it different from the Category page).

- Oppose The article is featuring in the Template:Suburb lists in Australia. We are supposed to maintain and expand entries in that template, not reducing it. N. Mortimer (talk) 11:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

- We the editors. The main purpose for creating that template is to make a list of Australian suburb lists. We should expand that template by creating more of these articles, not less. N. Mortimer (talk) 14:39, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- @N. Mortimer Could you provide a link where this was discussed? Cielquiparle (talk) 04:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- No. I didn't say there was a discussion. I said the general purpose for creating that template is to maintain a list of Australian suburb lists. By deleting this article, we are defeating the purpose of maintaining that template. That template was created and maintained by many different users, so obivously there is a consensus for articles like this to be kept instead of deleted. N. Mortimer (talk) 01:41, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, that template is quite helpful because it shows that several of the links are redirects to sub-sections of other articles. So it suggests that we can do the same for List of Mackay suburbs. (And no, the fact that many different users have come through and performed maintenance on the template doesn't necessarily mean there is any kind of consensus.) The list should still meet the basic criteria for a standalone list per WP:NLIST and include at least one citation to a reliable source. Cielquiparle (talk) 16:24, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
