Is this really necissary? edit

What's with all these cities, no ones ever heard of any of this garbage. A-town is Atlanta, Georgia. Are we going to have disambiguation pages for NYC and LA now too? Okku-Silver Town is A-town now??? I'm going to start clearing this in a couple days unless someone has a rational explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.78.27 (talk) 04:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I came looking for an article on "Okku-Silver Town", aka America Town, aka A-Town. That's how generations of US servicemen referred to it. Never heard of Atlanta being called A-Town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.205.168.245 (talk) 20:12, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, I'm not convinced this isn't just an arbitrary list of some places whose names start with an A. It seems especially unlikely that the places in non-Anglophone are called "A-Town" (maybe local translations). It might be best to purge this list of any place that doesn't mention "A-Town" as a nickname in its own article. In the meantime, there seems to be no basis in fact that "A-Town" usually refers to Amarillo, so I'm going to move it to the regular list. --BDD (talk) 19:22, 3 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
