I started a new article based on the geographic sources I found. As I have said elsewhere, Wikipedia's use of "South Florida" to refer only to the Dade-Broward-Palm Beach metropolitan area is idiosyncratic; while definitions vary, clearly "South Florida" is used for a much wider part of the state than just those three counties. And few if any sources use the term "South Florida metropolitan area", which is always bad news. It is time to discuss moving the article on the metro area.-- Cúchullain t/ c 20:17, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I removed the recently added material on the supposed push for a state of "South Florida". First and foremost, it was devoting a pretty substantial section of the article to material covered in a single, 250-word article from the South Florida Sun-Sentinal. Second, it didn't accurately reflect what the source actually says. This wasn't a real "secession" movement; it was a political statement from some local officials in one town who felt their constituency wasn't being treated fairly by the state government. The article itself says "The resolution apparently is more a statement than an actual threat." The passage also included a bunch of material about supposed cultural and political differences between South Florida and "North Florida" (here meaning all of Florida excluding the Miami area) that aren't even mentioned in the source. I wouldn't object to including a line about the "state of South Florida", if it followed what the source actually says and wasn't given undue weight. Cúchullain t/ c 23:46, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
The climate of south Florida is technically subtropical; to be tropical it would have to lie within the tropics, which it does not. Even Key West is a few miles north of the Tropic of Cancer. 98.218.23.114 ( talk) 19:08, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
