Find correct name The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere. The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.

Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Merge[edit]

These two articles are so wrong that only with a merge they can be made in something valid.

From the Communist Party of Portugal (Marxist-Leninist) article:

"The Communist Party of Portugal (Marxist-Leninist) (in Portuguese: 'Partido Comunista de Portugal (Marxista-Leninista)') was a political party in Portugal. Also known as the 'Mendes faction of PCP(M-L)'."

Both the 'Mendes' and the 'Vilar' factions claimed to be the true "PCP(M-L)"; and that was the 'Vilar' faction that was legally registred as "PCP(M-L)".

"In 1974 a splinter-group broke away from the party, forming the Popular Unity Party."

The PUP was not a splinter-group from the 'Mendes faction of PCP(M-L)'; it was the name that these faction adopted when it was legally registred.

"At the time of the 1976 elections PCP(M-L) launched the slogan "For Independence, For Democracy, For Social Progress! - Vote for the lists presented by PCP(m-l)!" (Pela independência pela democracia, pelo progresso social! - vota nas listas apresentadas pelo PCP (m-l)!)"

"That" PCP(M-L) was the 'Vilar faction', not the 'Mendes faction'.

From the Communist Party of Portugal (Marxist–Leninist) (1974) article:

"On November 17, 1974, Vilar's party launched the Worker-Peasant Alliance (AOC). The party took part in elections through AOC, since the name PCP(M-L) was taken by their adversaries."

No. Both the names AOC and PCP(M-L) where taken by 'Vilar faction' (the 'Mendes faction' used the names PUP and "Comité Marxista-Leninista Português"); the reason why it was two different names was because the PCP(M-L) was supposed to be the "vanguard party" and AOC the "mass front".

Because the history of 'Mendes faction' and of 'Vilar faction' is so confused in these two articles, I think that, for now, the better is a merge between the two (and, eventually, a new splint in different lines).--194.38.144.2 (talk) 15:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: If there are errors, then they should be corrected. This article was started in 2005, when online material was more scarse. But you also confirm that these were two separate parties, albeit with identical names. Thus they need to have separate articles in order to be able to display the difference between the two. --Soman (talk) 23:02, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, on the grounds that even if they are distinct, they are so closely tied that their separate histories are best presented on the same page.Klbrain (talk) 21:28, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
