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.
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).

Should some mention be made here about research and DNA connections currently being made/discovered about the ancient people of Ireland (and elsewhere) as migrating from/connected to the Iberian Peninsula? For example: Which areas of the peninsula have been involved in these connective "finds"? Which areas elsewhere have been shown to have a genetic connection (on the outflow side). Maybe a separate "Iberian Peninsula Genetic Connections/Migration" page could be provided - supplemental to the current Wikipedia "inflow" page: "Genetic history of the Iberian Peninsula." Thanks!

The Google maps area includes a good chunk of southern France for reasons that escape me. It must be a software glitch. --Jotamar (talk) 18:18, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's no french portion in Iberian Peninsula!
The frontier is the Pyrenees!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.139.153.57 (talk • contribs)
There are several portions of France (mainly, but not only, the French Cerdagne) in the southern watershed of the Pyrenees.--Asqueladd (talk) 11:22, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that Gibraltar is an imperial remnant of the British on the peninsula does not mean that English is one of the peninsula's native languages. It should be removed. French too. 189.62.151.21 (talk) 16:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably because it is spoken by the population of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. So why should it be removed? And why French too?--Asqueladd (talk) 16:29, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is crystal clear that @Dash9Z: considers that the relation of this territory with the Eurasian landmass should not be mentioned in this article under any circunstance, (seemingly) because of different reasons. They may explain here (and making a case to persuade others) instead of imposing this editorial stance by way of brute force. It has to be said that the source already used in the introduction in order to underpin specific geographic details actually introduces that relation in page 25.--Asqueladd (talk) 20:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Asqueladd: I don't know what you mean by "(seemingly) because of different reasons". Just state what you think that is instead of beating around the bush even though I already told you my reasonstwice and this is going to be my third time explaining. Definitions describe a topic and gets to the point of the definition without adding unnecessary information. The Iberian Peninsula, simply put, is a peninsula in southwestern Europe. When people and sources describe the Iberian Peninsula, the focus is on its location in Europe, not Eurasia. We don't say "The Arabian Peninsula is a peninsula in West Asia, defining the western middle portion of Eurasia" because the Eurasia portion is unnecessary since its location in Asia is already described, and people will understand what that means. You had added the Eurasia portion on 15 June 2020 even though the article had spent many years (25 February 2002, 28 September 2010, 11 August 2015) without it. You point to the book The Birds of the Iberian Peninsula (2015) which uses Eurasia on page 25. I don't know what the authors' intentions were by wording it that way but if I had to guess it would be emphasizing its far west location in relation to the large landmass but most sources don't describe it that way. The book The Vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula (2017) states on page 4 that "Iberia is a prominent large sized peninsula in the southwestern end of Europe, reaching the westernmost and southernmost points of Europe" without mention Eurasia. The sources I provided (Britannica, Merriam-Webster, Collins Dictionary, Dictionary) all define the Iberian Peninsula as a peninsula of Europe. Dash9Z (talk) 22:21, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
