Oh lord brother, have you got the bug? Still a long way to go, but I'm down if you're down. GMG^talk 02:05, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- I'm in the mood right now. Identifying what needs more articles will be interesting. Basing Louisville off of https://muse.jhu.edu/article/641532. We also should standardize 1877 .... versus ... of 1877. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:09, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- GreenMeansGo, How many more articles do you think there's possibility for? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:31, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
  - I'm not entirely convinced there's enough for Martinsville. I haven't looked into Louisville at all. Put it this way, none of these are really independently notable, because none of these are really distinct events. They're all just pieces of the main event, which is immensely notable, but where stand alone articles are justified because otherwise the main article would be like...50+ pages worth of text, and wildly violate our guidance on article length.

So if there are more fringe areas where we can't really construct an independent narrative, where we don't really have "a story to tell", like we do in Scranton, Pittsburgh, or Reading, but can instead condense it into a section on the main article, then that would be the way to go, and would make it even easier to bump up the main article to GA itself, and also easier to lower the bar we need to get GT.
