On 8 June 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to NY (disambiguation). The result of the discussion was not moved. |
I have moved the state above the city as a more likely referent of "NY." While it's debatable which one is more important in the context of "New York," I think it's pretty clearly the state for "NY." After all, it's the official postal abbreviation for New York (state), with no other abbreviation competing for attention (e.g. California is CA but also has Calif, Cal, etc.). For New York City the canonical abbreviation is "NYC," and while the use of the abbreviation "NY" exists it's nowhere near as common. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:44, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

NY → NY (disambiguation) – When used in an American context, the state is almost always what's meant, since NYC is the typical acronym for the city. Only context I know of which its used for the city is in sports abbreviations (I was going to add "and those I ❤ NY T-shirts" but it turns out those are also about the state). None of the other topics come close in terms of relevance. Mach61 17:48, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
