Talk:Metropolis (disambiguation)

Extra links

Here are some extra links that can go into the dab once they have articles:

• Metropolis (televison station) is the name of leading music tv station in Serbia
• Metropolis (post-production) a post-production facility in London

I disambiguated a mention of the TV station to Metropolis (TV) and added it back to the dab page (before I noticed this list on the discussion). If someone wants to remove it from the dab again go ahead.

Other possibilities for pages on the dab - culled from links to Metropolis found while disambiguating:

• Metropolis, 2005 book by Elizabeth Gaffney - on List of books set in New York City#2000s (I removed the link to disambiguate, all other pages below still have the link in place)
• Is there a place named Metropolis in Turkey? see reference at İzmir#Festivals
  • Yes. It's an archaeological site between Ephesus and Smyrna. The name apparently refers to a mother-goddess once worshipped there; it wasn't a metropolis in the same sense as the mother-cities of the Greek colonies. I don't believe there's a modern city at the site. TCC (talk) (contribs) 05:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• There are many pages referring to the moral region in The Day America Told The Truth. Does it need it's own page, especially as some of the other regions mentioned have their own page.
• Metropolis, cable provider?? mentioned on Óptima Televisión
• Bands
  • Metropolis, Christian alternative band on List of Christian alternative bands#M-Z
  • Metropolis, New Wave band on List of New Wave bands and artists#L-M
  • A google search for 'Metropolis band' brings up no hits that are obviously either of these, and a few hits for bands that are obviously neither of theses.

London Metropolis

There doesn't appear to be an article about the "London Metropolis", an administration that commenced in 1855 as a forerunner to the County of London. The Metropolis is mentioned in many articles, but doesn't seem to have an article to itself. --Oldontarian (talk) 11:03, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Places described as Metropolis

It is not at all clear to me that the Metropolis article contains a list of places described as or known informally as (the) Metropolis as well as being about the concept of a large city. I added a note in the Places section to benefit others looking for places not mentioned in that section (which is only for places named Metropolis) but Hoof Hearted reverted it citing WP:DABPRIMARY. Rather than edit war about it I'd like other opinions about how best to help readers. Thryduulf (talk) 14:12, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Does the Metropolis article contain a list of places known by the proper noun (the) Metropolis? I see New York City mentioned with a capital M, and would support including Nicknames of New York City here. London is described with a capital M, but London doesn't mention the Metropolis as an informal name. Every other place listed seems to be in the context of a large city. Do you have an example of a capital-M Metropolis is not covered in this DAB?

If you feel there are legitimate Metropolises missing from the Places section, and the "large city" definition at the primary topic is insufficient, I could live with expanding that definition to something like: "A metropolis is a large city or an informal name of some large cities." Could that be a compromise? Hoof Hearted (talk) 15:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
