Comments[edit]

No way that Carney info should be merged with Parkville. Carney residents have a distinct pride in their community and the community's history. On another unrelated note, have you noticed that several Carney stores refer to their locations as their 'Towson' location? How about merging Towson's entry to Carney?

Who thinks that this article should be merged with Parkville? Who thinks otherwise?

Not being an incorporated city, Carney is viewed by many as a part of Parkville, shares the same zip code, and the library serving the area is known as Parkville-Carney.

Other twin towns in Baltimore County, such as Lutherville-Timonium, are found in the same article.

I am planning on making this merge myself if there are no responses for a while.Sebwite 22:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Carney is a CDP (Census-designated place). It is also a component of the Baltimore County Template. I would recommend maintaing the page.Wallstreethotrod 00:07, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with keeping them separate, considering that they are listed by census as to separate CDP's then the articles should be kept as is. The Lutherville-Timonium designation is a census designation as a single CDP not a combined, same as Lansdowne-Baltimore Highlands. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 05:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the two should be merged. I live in the Carney area of Parkville-Carney and it really is one location, not two separate ones. While it may be a separate census designation, it is an artificial split that is not reflected in the community. So, I would vote for merging them into a single entry called Parkville-Carney. Karl D.

If you want to use that argument, then every suburban "town" needs to be merged into Baltimore. How can you tell when you go from Baltimore to Towson, to Timonium, to Cockeysville, to Hunt Valley? Or Baltimore to Rosedale, to Fullerton, to Perry Hall? Or Reisterstown to Owings Mills, to Pikesville, to Woodlawn to Baltimore? There's nothing to distinguish them other than zip codes. All suburban towns have grown into one another and all have artificial lines that divide them. I understand your argument, but at some point, every area is going to lose its identify if we follow that logic.Wallstreethotrod 12:31, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand this argument and would generally agree. In the specific case of Parkville and Carney, I think their separate identities are already merging. The original suggestion to merge the two entries noted that the library is already merged and I noted on the Parkville, MD page that the business association is also a merged Parkville-Carney association. I just think that having a merged page makes more sense in this one case. I can't speak for any other case. Karl D. Gordon (talk) 00:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carney, Maryland is proud to have it's own identity.[edit]

Carney, Maryland should always be kept separate from it's neighbor to the south. First point to note, Parkville's boundary line starts below the Beltway (I-695) and Carney's above. Parkville includes part of Baltimore City as its boundary. Homes in the area generally sell at a higher price if listed as Carney rather than Parkville. Carney also retains it's roots as derived from it's founders name. Never assume that merely because the area falls into the 21234 zip code, it should be Parkville. The areas of Cub Hill, Woodcroft, Perring Park also fall into the 21234 zip. Emberfighter (talk) 21:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
