• Support the following:
  • São Paulo = the city
  • São Paulo (state) = the state
    • I support this for consistency with Rio de Janeiro (city and state).Carioca 21:26, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

  • São Paulo, São Paulo = the city

• Comment: Contrary to what's stated above, this request hadn't been noted at Wikipedia:Requested moves. It now is. –Hajor 12:30, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (city names) doesn't have anything on South America, but following the convention for Mexico would put the state at São Paulo and the city at São Paulo, São Paulo. Just a suggestion though. Alphax ^τεχ 00:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

• Support the following:
  • São Paulo = the city
  • São Paulo (state) = the state
    • Support for same reason as Carioca. — Dale Arnett 01:28, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Largest concentration of ethnic Italians outside Italy ?

The above-mentioned statement (which actually appears in the article) is doubtful to say the least. I suspect that there are probably far more descendants of Italian immigrants for example in Argentina and in the United States than in Brazil (or in São Paulo specifically). I guess the author of the statement above should either provide a reliable reference to back his/her claim or delete/re-write the sentence.200.177.17.130 02:03, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I was not the author, but Argentina doesn't have more descendants of Italian immigrants than Brazil.

Neither was I but I suspect SP has more in absolute numbers while Argentina has a higher percentage of its population.
