Talk:Ponte de Lima

Town

As the capital of a municipality of 45k people, with a market, a mayor and so forth, it is definitely a town (vila) and not a village (povoado). Portuguese Wikipedia agrees. --ascorbic (talk) 22:20, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Origin of the name

It's a common misconception to thing Ponte de Lima's name is associated with the Lima river. In fact, it's associated with the name of the territory: Limia, Limicos, Limicorum... This territory is named Limia quite before the river was known by that name. The river was known as Lethes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.57.80 (talk) 19:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Ponte de Lima Municipality → Ponte de Lima – Formal request to re-appropriate the single article "Ponte de Lima" for subject "Ponte de Lima Municipality". While Ponte de Lima and Ponte de Lima Municipalities may imply two entities, there is little content in the aforementioned "Ponte de Lima" town article, that has not already been presented in the "municipality" article. Request that "Ponte de Lima" become the de facto placeholder for content associated with this subject. In addition, Ponte de Lima Municipality was created by a known and discredited sock-puppeteer User:Tobias Conradi without consensus from the community, or WikiProject Portuguese geography subgroup on this subject ^{ruben jc} ZEORYMER (talk) 22:29, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

• Support I suppose, technically, this is more a merger request in effect, but the stub that is currently at Ponte de Lima is pretty bloody useless, as all it says is "Ponte de Lima is a town in Ponte de Lima Municipality, Portugal." The world is hardly going to miss that particular nugget of information. Skinsmoke (talk) 19:55, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
• Support the same should be done to all the remaining Portuguese municipalities with the same problem. That sentence "Ponte de Lima is a town in Ponte de Lima Municipality." is not even a correct thing to say, it is weird. It is like New York City is a city in New York City Municipality. It compares Portuguese municipalities as if these are like American counties, which is POV and OR. ---Pedro (talk) 20:13, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
