Reference is made to the private property just east of the "official" marker which is further south. The aerial view from Google Maps shows that the property has its own marker in its southwest corner (a flagpole with emblematic design on the ground). Should this be mentioned? According to the images on Google Maps, this property is a hotel, rather than a private residence, so there might be secondary sources on this. Related question: would this, therefore, be the southernmost commercial business in the 48? 136.159.160.5 ( talk) 19:55, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Consensus against this move. Splitting should be discussed separately. b uidh e 05:56, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
Key West → Key West, Florida – Per WP:USPLACE, this should be moved. It is not listed in the AP Stylebook. Interstellarity ( talk) 13:35, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Oppose - it's a place name, yes, but it's also an island/geographic feature. Nantucket is a standalone article, not Nantucket, Massachusetts, because it's an island. There is indeed Key Largo and [{Key Largo, Florida]], but that's a case where the island has multiple jurisdictions, so the state name in the title is needed. Per WP:TITLE, the title needs to distinguish the subject matter. This "Key West" is by far more notable than any of the other Key Wests. I'd only support moving if Kanye/Kim have another kid and name it "Key". ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 14:33, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Oppose This article covers an island, and not a random settlement. Dimadick ( talk) 15:59, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Key West is an island ... together with
Dredgers Key, it constitutes the City of Key West.
Otherwise, you will probably get this kind of confusion regarding
WP:USPLACE in the future.

06:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)This article seems purposely purged of any references to the historical or present links to the LGBTQ community. Not only are these real and strong, but the migration of LGBTQ members, great artists like Tennessee Williams and Leonard Bernstein to ordinary gay citizens looking for a quiet life away from hatred, is responsible for bolstering the economy of the island to this day. I am not an amateur historian but many of you are and I hope someone will take initiative to add a well referenced section on the topic to this article. 108.7.160.150 ( talk) 14:19, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
