According to the United States Census Bureau, the Mobile metropolitan area consists of Mobile County only [1] and has a population of 400,526. [2] — RJN 23:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus. The consolidation of multiple discussions into this one thread was an inappropriate refactoring of comments, and as such, it is not possible to determine an appropriate consensus for this consolidated discussion. This close indicates no prejudice towards the creation of a new move discussion taking all of the listed articles into account (indeed, I'd recommend that such a discussion takes place), but participants should be aware that they are commenting on multiple page moves from the outset.

– Add state to form standard title. Buaidh 14:11, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Clarification: The preferred article title for metropolitan areas is the article title of the principal city with the lower-case words " metropolitan area" appended. Please see the List of metropolitan areas of the United States. Yours aye, Buaidh 17:48, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Furthermore, Mobile is a disambiguation page. Buaidh 21:04, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
*Comment - Can you explain what you mean by "to form standard article title" and provide any applicable links or diffs that support it? Why do you believe the word "state" should be added to the title? Is it because you think Dayton by itself is too ambiguous and so readers won't know it's for Dayton, Ohio? I saw your current
move request to "Tulsa metropolitan area", which obviously does not include the state in the title.
Here is the list of all articles for U.S. metropolitan areas. Thanks. --

::Nicely stated, Polaron. I'm not sure if you also saw Buaidh's similar move requests for

The above was procedurally closed. If anyone recommends reopening, I recommend opening as a group the first 16 above. The 19th, Vicksburg can be discussed separately or added to the currently open RM for Glasgow and Ontario, provided it is clear that any comments there apply only to Glasgow and Ontario.
