We need to move this article

This should not be at "The Floridas", as the "The" is a purely grammatical element that is not capitalized in running text. This article should be at Floridas. --Khajidha (talk) 14:34, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Floridas → Floridas – WP:THE and WP:CONSISTENT with Carolinas and Virginias. Theparties (talk) 04:31, 6 December 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 08:10, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this is a historical term and the consistency argument does not apply; I don't think the test at WP:THE is met here. From a quick search, perhaps The Two Floridas (or Two Floridas) could be a better title. Walsh90210 (talk) 21:07, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Support move to Two Floridas. Theparties (talk) 04:35, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose "The Floridas" is more commonly used in historical sources. Carlstak (talk) 05:10, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose "The Floridas" is a historical term used in the distant past as well as in the present to describe the past. Jeff in CA (talk) 03:57, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose those two other articles you point to are used for modern polities, so consistent does not readily apply to The (historical) Floridas, nor does WP:THE. Alanscottwalker (talk) 12:06, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
