Talk:Yorkshire, Virginia

WHAT IS GOING ON???

Why do we have a CDP AND an unincorporated community designation for this place?...Per this article Census-designated_place ad the census bureau, MOST if not ALL CDPs are unincorporated.....Coal town guy (talk) 02:58, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

[CTG asked me to come here] Yeah, it's basically a redundancy. The only incorporated CDPs are those that shouldn't have been created in the first place (i.e. the Census Bureau made a mistake), those that got annexed after the census date, and those that incorporated themselves after the census date; see Yakutat (CDP), Alaska and Bunche Park, Florida for the first and second categories, while I can't think of any in the third. All three, put together, are rare enough that unincorporated status should be assumed, making "unincorporated and CDP" rather redundant. Nyttend (talk) 03:12, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

My only concern is and was, I have no desire to see thousands and thousands of articles with double or triple designations.....honest and for true......I very much appreciate any conversation where a mutually agreed upon set of actions is foundCoal town guy (talk) 03:22, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Forgot to say that the definition of CDP requires that such places be unincorporated. For this reason, when a CDP's entire boundaries become incorporated, we're justified in declaring it a former CDP even if the Census Bureau doesn't announce changes, just as we are justified in calling a place an unincorporated community when the Census Bureau doesn't yet know that a municipality has dissolved itself. On top of that, if part of a CDP becomes incorporated by whatever means, we're justified in referring to the CDP as a CDP because part of it still exists as unincorporated area.
