On 1 March 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved from Statehood movement in Puerto Rico to Puerto Rico statehood movement. The result of the discussion was moved. |
The result of the move request was: {{{result}}} ~~~~
The article Puerto Rico (proposed state) topically overlaps with Puerto Rico statehood movement and also partially with Political status of Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican status referendum, 2012. There's a lot of duplicated text. I propose that all detailed text related to the possibility of the territory becoming a U.S. state should be consolidated into this article.

Puerto Rico People Vote for Change -- and Statehood — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.248.82.115 ( talk) 05:31, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
I have been trying unsuccessfully to find out what is/are the reason(s) for the delay in having the people of Puerto Rico vote on another referendum regarding the status of Puerto Rico. I totally agree that the wording of the November 6, 2012 referendum disqualifies it as an accurate representation of the desires of the Puerto Rican people on the subject, and I was very surprised to learn that another referendum regarding Puerto Rico's status was not on the November 2014 ballot, especially since the United States said it would pay for the next such referendum in a bill that Pres. Obama signed into law on January 17, 2014.
So far this is the only article I've found that makes any mention of the U.S. government's response to Puerto Rico's December 11, 2012 request for statehood. Ironically, despite the section regarding merging this article with an article titled Puerto Rico (proposed state) that makes up the bulk of this talk page, Puerto Rico (proposed state) redirects to Proposed political status for Puerto Rico, and in the list of status options near the beginning of that article, the statehood option links to this article.

Perhaps should we harmonize titles like:

The page has lengthy sections of groups and individuals that support statehood. Yet there is no mention of those opposed. Considering previous vote results, I have to believe there is significant opposition to statehood. What is the view of these people? 68.46.82.132 ( talk) 02:39, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
I'm suggesting over at Talk:51st state that the Puerto Rico sections there be moved into this article, as there should be nothing there that doesn't belong here; this article should be simultaneously about the statehood movement in Puerto Rico and the parallel movement in US. --jpgordon 𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 22:40, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Statehood movement in the District of Columbia which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 01:17, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
An editor removed the entire "mainland support" section which included referenced discussion on an executive order concerning "determination of Puerto Rico's ultimate status"; the positions of the two major U.S. parties on self-determination; and the current president's position on self-determination or statehood in which he stated "statehood would be the most effective means". This removal makes no sense to me. ☆ Bri ( talk) 00:31, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
@ Mercy11: Regarding this edit, it is relevant and notable that a former president of the United States has a position on the issue, even if he is now dead. In fact, he was dead when it was added to the article. Will this section be empty after all of these people have died? Wikipedia contains histories, not just present-day politics.
If anything, your edits should have made clear that Bush is dead and better outlined the chronology of support. For example, see WP:PRESERVE. Thanks. Wracking 💬 06:13, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
