The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

weak supportoppose change of article scope - although I am unsure of whether the definition for this topic needs to include Mestiço as Wikidata has the shortdesc "Mestiço people in Africa who speak Portuguese", but Mestiço is not mentioned in the article, so I'm questioning whether that should be changed to a more generic one. If this is moved as intended, the shortdesc can probably be set to None. edit changed to weak support as the definition of the topic seems to rely on ancestry, which means this is technically a change in scope - I don't see a huge problem with it as the article can be edited easily enough, but if a better title happens to come up I'll consider it ASUKITE17:34, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - the justification for this move request seems to stem from applying a literal translation of the term into Portuguese and them observing that the Portuguese page pt:Luso-africanos refers to ethnic Portuguese with origins in Africa, which is a different topic - Portuguese Africans. But the sources in this article and a casual Google search seem to indicate that whatever the Portuguese-language situation, in English "Luso-Africans" refers primarily to this ethnic group of possibly mixed-ethnicity Africans, perhaps not dissimilar to the Coloureds in South Africa. So not only is a change not particularly necessary according to the English common name for this, the proposed titles are also a big change in scope since they focus on language rather than ethnicity. — Amakuru (talk) 20:41, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that echoes my concern that the move would change the scope of the article, I think I'm sufficiently convinced that the proposed title is not the right choice, and I've changed my reply to reflect that. ASUKITE21:48, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
