[edit] Proposed split

I'm proposing that the material covering the island of Key Biscayne outside of the municipality be moved to an article to be called Key Biscayne (island). After all, the municipality of Key Biscayne covers only about 1/3 of the island. I think it is confusing to mingle the information the way it is now. -- Donald Albury^(Talk) 16:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Has anyone followed up on this, or did it fail? A similar article to look at would be the city of Key West, Florida & the island of Key West. They don't have separate articles and they are different, as the city limits extend beyond the island onto adjacent islands. This is an opposite example, since the city is smaller than the island. In this case I think it's logical to have an article on the island and have the city as part of that article. Or, is it Wik policy to have a separate article on all cities/towns/villages? - Marc Averette 14:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

As an afterthought... the island of Key Largo has separate articles from the towns of Tavernier, Florida, Key Largo, Florida and North Key Largo, Florida. Maybe they should be merged as well? There could be redirects for the towns to go to the main Key Largo island article. - Marc Averette 14:36, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I think it is a good idea to merge the articles suggested. The only problem with merging these is Key Biscayne is at Good Article status, but since Key Biscayne encompasses the town, we should merge this with the island but do so carefully as to not jeapordize its GA status.--JEF 17:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
