Distinct from Crocker and Bancoft?
This is an interesting little article, but I feel a GAN atm is premature due to how short the article is. I'm a bit confused on the separation of this from the Crocker County, Iowa and Bancroft County, Iowa article; they all occupy the same area, are essentially same iterations of the same proposed county split. Wouldn't an article that covers all three of these proposals as one be the best for understanding why Kossuth was never split? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 23:22, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Generalissima Length doesn’t have anything to do with GA status or not. Ohio State Route 778 was reassessed this year and was kept as GA. 48JCL (talk • contribs) 19:35, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- However, I feel as if you are correct. I’ll probably just do a peer review first. 48JCL (talk • contribs) 19:35, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Also, Larrabee was not the same size. They were roughly equivalent however. 48JCL (talk • contribs) 21:18, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
