Well those are pretty good solid arguments I propose an open poll Now I don t necessarily object your reasoning or your proposal Dunadan I only feel that the case of Monterrey is in fact unique in Mexico As I said before this isn t like Barcelona that gained a metropolitan area through connurbation Monterrey gained a metropolitan area through design and government policies that encouraged the integration of the municipalities since very early in its history Additionally and contrary to what happens with the metro areas of most other cities in Mexico except perhaps Guadalajara and Mexico City the metro area of Monterrey is almost 50 years old It isn t as recent a phenomenon as that of other cities I repeat to you Monterrey is given by the State of Nuevo Le n a de facto treatment of a single entity in many official issues This is something I have yet to see in for instance the Metropolitan area of Mexico City or Torreon though of course in those cases the issue is more complex because the metro area trascends state boundaries So yes the official definition of CONAPO and INEGI is one but the official treatment of the State of Nuevo Le n does not necessarily match It would be equally misinformant to the reader to not let them see this We are still at an impasse We can make this article about the municipality and talk about the municipality s relationship to the metro area and the legal priviliges the State gives it or we can make this article about the metro area and talk about the official definitions of INEGI and CONAPO and how they are not 100 according to the official behavior of the State of Nuevo Le n So I propose an open poll and let all editors decide As for me I don t specifically oppose your proposal if it were chosen but I would prefer my proposal for the above reasons In any case part of the proposal is to avoid redundancies Whatever the topic of this article if it mirrors that of another article the other article must either be erased or have it redirect here
