[edit] Splitting
- The article is certainly too long at present and the district descriptions are not necessary in this article. Splitting it might work, with this article including, say, a table listing the senator and assemblymembers from each district (with perhaps the county names but no lists of municipalities). If a new article is created, I'd suggest it be called New Jersey Legislative districts, 2002-2012 rather than New Jersey Legislative Districts, 2001 redistricting (note the capitalization, as well as the text change). -- Lincolnite 15:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose The listing of municipalities is directly relevant to the individual districts. Splitting the information off to a separate article would mean that few (if any readers) would ever make use of the information. With the change of the municipality listings to paragraph format, teh length has been drastically reduced. Alansohn 22:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support While informative we should remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a directory (see WP:NOT#DIR). The legislative district information needlessly clutters up the article and should be removed.--Jersey Devil 01:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Support - I had suggested the "2001 redistricting" name. Perhaps the 2002-2012 date based on representative terms would be more clear. Proper links should allow people to find the districts. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 16:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
