The content of Bronx gangs (1950s–1960s) was merged into The Bronx. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

"The" in the name and so in the title?

Why "The" is in the name ("The Bronx") and so in the Wikipedia title? Is not it a normal "the" article? Mezze stagioni (talk) 10:43, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a whole section in the article describing this ("Use of definite article"). Ken Gallager (talk) 20:46, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking?

I understand that MOS:OVERLINK actually cites NYC as an example of something that may be overlinked. That being said, I think this recent edit takes things a bit too far. I would understand not linking NYC in an article about a random thing not related to the city. However, this is one of the five boroughs of NYC (and as such is a first-level administrative subdivision of the city). I would therefore say that New York City, far from being an overlink, must be linked in this context, as the link is directly relevant to the topic of the article. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:55, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
