Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Hi,
There is another island within the Indian state of
Goa with the same name in its English translation. It is currently on wiki page
Goa Island, India.
.
Could this page be moved to
Goa Island, Mozambique to distinguish it from the above mentioned island?

Zocdoclesson One key difference is that
Goa Island, India is not an island; it is a community. Thus, including the name of the country is a natural disambiguator. I don't see a reason to move this page. —C.Fred (

Zocdoclesson The first thing to determine is whether "Goa Island" is the name of the island in India. That should be done at
Talk:Goa Island (India). —C.Fred (

There was a (now deleted) comment here which claimed that
Goa Island, India was not an island.
.
I would like to clarify that, that piece of land is surrounded on all sides by water, namely
Mandovi to the north,
Zuari to the south,
Cumbarjua Canal to the east and the
Arabian Sea to the west.
Therefore it fits the definition of an island.

It was my comment. I initially thought Goa Island was a community based on the infobox and the title of the article. I removed said comment when I realized it was an island. I'll be restoring it for transparency. —C.Fred (

I find the article misleading and lacks verifiable content. Instead I'll be taking this to the
AFD.

Island of Sena
An older version of
Portuguese India Armadas appeared to refer to the Island of Sena as Sant' Iago in Portuguese. I was unable to confirm this name, but perhaps it can be done using print sources or a more specific search. That island might need its own article, but for now it's only really mentioned on
Goa Island. --
