[edit] Move?

Should this be moved to Syracuse, Syracuse as it is in the Province of Syracuse, and using the island of Sicily is not a standard naming convention? —ScouterSig 23:50, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Did you go through the archive? Does anyone seriously think that Syracuse, Syracuse is better than Syracuse, Sicily? What next, New York, New York!? πιππίνυ δ - (dica) 13:42, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
No, I had not checked the archive; don't jump on my back, man, please. And as far as NY, NY, I think that it would be a perfectly appropriate name (if a little redundant) not only to follow conventions but for specificity. —ScouterSig 14:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
It was a half joke - I had Frank Sinatra's raspy voice in my head as I wrote it. πιππίνυ δ - (dica) 00:06, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm guessing it was originally moved to disambiguate from Syracuse, NY. But the naming convention is fine, if anything you could say why isn't it Syracuse, Italy? El Greco(talk) 19:11, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Partly because it's so closely identified with Sicily-ness, ;-/ partly because it's been part of Sicily for much longer than it's been part of Italy.... FlagSteward (talk) 18:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
