Talk:This Town
From This Might Be A Wiki
I really do not think this page needs to exist. We already have Cities as a theme page, and this one certainly doesn't provide any extra insight into the content of songs or anything. --Self Called Nowhere 14:47, 19 July 2011 (EDT)
- i agree, i just sort of fail to see how the addition of a demonstrative determiner warrants its own category. - Apollo (colloquia!) 14:49, 19 July 2011 (EDT)
- Cities is mostly on the subject of specific cities, whether real like NYC or fictitious like Cowtown. But I noticed that when they're not being specific, the band say "this town" a lot. I wanted to document that tendency. I'd rather the effort didn't go in vain, but of course I understand it's not my decision whether this page goes or stays. —Rafe 01:48, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
- What else would they say for a city or town whose name is indefinite? there aren't many choices besides "this" or "that". I think what might be good is if on the Cities page there were three sections under briefly mentioned: "real cities", "fictitious cities", and "cities of indeterminable nomenclature" (though perhaps not quite those names). - Apollo (colloquia!) 13:03, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
