I was reading the Liberty Tree article about the Eunux controversy and at the end mentioned "a female plumber that was run out of a San Andreas town a year ago". Yes, it said "town", meaning that the State of San Andreas still exists.

A number of years ago, this article was moved from [[San Andreas in GTA San Andreas]] to [[State of San Andreas]], with [[San Andreas in GTA 1]] being moved to [[City of San Andreas]]. Despite breaking consistency with the page titles of other locations at the time, the move was supported. The reasoning was because the other locations are all cities, so not much can be done to give them simpler titles, but as one rendition of San Andreas in a city, and the other is a state, they were ''able'' to be given simpler titles. | |||
Since then however, the landscape has changed. The state of San Andreas now has two renditions; one appearing in GTA San Andreas, and the other (partially) appearing in GTA V. This means that it may be time to reconsider the titles (perhaps not immediately, but it's a good idea to start discussing this stuff). The way I see it, we have the following options: | |||
*Move this page to [[San Andreas in GTA III Era]] - This is consistent with [[Liberty City in GTA III Era]] and [[Vice City in GTA III Era]], and allows for the fact that San Andreas is a part of the GTA III Era's universe (not just one game), and covers any references to San Andreas in the other games. This title may not be as obvious, however, as the following: | |||
*Move this page back to [[San Andreas in GTA San Andreas]] - Unlike Liberty City and Vice City, San Andreas only appears in one game in this era, so this title can be used without creating the confusion that it did with those cities. ''San Andreas in GTA San Andreas'' however, does seem like a clumsy name. | |||
*Leave this page as [[State of San Andreas]] - This would be a a special case based on the fact that this rendition of the state of San Andreas is the only one to appear in it's entirety in a game. Basically, if this option is chosen, then this article wins due to prominence. Obviously, any necessary links would be added to the top of the page for disambiguation. | |||
With options one and two, we would also need to decide what to do with [[City of San Andreas]]. Would that be moved back to [[San Andreas in GTA 1]] for consistency with the rest of the San Andreas articles? Both of these options would also see [[State of San Andreas]] redirected back to the main disambiguation page for [[San Andreas]]. | |||
With any of these three options, we could then create [[San Andreas in GTA V]] for any references to the surroundings of Los Santos in GTA V (when needed that is, in the meantime it may be redirected to [[Los Santos in GTA V]]). That article would be created at that title, and would not be moved to [[San Andreas in GTA V Era]] until the announcement of further games in the GTA V Era. | |||
What does everyone think? Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks. '''[[User:JFletcher|JFletcher]]<sup>''[[User talk:JFletcher|Talk]]''</sup>''' <small>(formerly User:Biggest gta fan ever)</small> 07:57, 13 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
