Talk:List of cities in Florida

Florida League of Cities edit

The Florida League of Cities is the association that all Cities, Towns and Villages of Florida belong to. Why is a link to the League inappropriate? The South Carolina page has a link to the Municipal Association of South Carolina.Inkan1969 (talk) 18:26, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Merger Discussion edit

It is my thought that List of towns and villages in Florida and List of cities in Florida should be merged together into a new page entitiled List of municipalities in Florida (or perhaps list of incorporated areas) with redirections from the old pages. There is no legal difference between a city, town, villages, Hamlet, or whatever else you want to name your city in Florida, so why should we segregate them?

Support - there is no legal distinction between towns, cities, etc. under Florida law, and thus the naming is basically arbitrary. A list should focus on DEFINING features of the objects within them. If there is no difference between a town and a city, then there is no reason to separate them for the reader or organize them as if they are different. かんぱい!

Support, as above. This was already done with the list for California's municipalities. postdlf (talk) 04:11, 22 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Support - if someone is looking for a particular named location in Florida, they shouldn't have to refer to multiple lists to find it. Tennessee is organized in this manner. Mgrē@sŏn 20:51, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

As there have been no objections, let's do it. If someone else has not done so by this weekend, I'll try to work on it. -- Donald Albury 10:54, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
