* '''Delete:''' we add no value to the world by copying such an immense amount of numeric data; what we do is create a reference which will become out-of-date and therefore misleading. A reference to the primary source is the way to do this. '''Keep''' the top-level article. — [[User:Johantheghost|Johan the Ghost]] [[User talk:Johantheghost|_seance]] 18:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep top-level article,''' remove tables from its, '''delete subpages.''' FIPS place codes are important in the geographic and demographic industries (such as the Census Bureau, and Claritas where I work), and not otherwise noteworthy. A good two-paragraph article would be appropriate here; the raw tables are not. WP is not for primary sources, excess level of detail, etc. [[User:Barno|Barno]] 21:11, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
