Merging with Cincinnati MSA

Nothing in the Cincinnati Enquirer article mentions anything about the Census Bureau planning to merge the two MSAs into a single MSA in 2010. The article simply mentions the possibility of the two being combined as a single market, most likely referring to a combined statistical area, although this is not explicitly stated and can be construed as original research. In fact, any mention of the Census Bureau and 2010 should be removed as this is original research unless cited. --Polaron | Talk 20:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the offending statements. --Polaron | Talk 18:41, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Greater Dayton, Ohio → Dayton metropolitan area — A move from Greater Dayton to Dayton metropolitan area is requested. Dayton metropolian area is the official name. Most U.S. Metropolitan Areas are titled in this way. Therefore the page should be renamed. Texas141 (talk) 14:32, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question. Are the two really the same? I know that some editors want to always use the metro area. However this is, in some cases, not the same as the actual named area. I think that converting to use metro area without a good reason is not a wise choice. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:14, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greater Dayton is more of a broad term that encompasses more than just the MSA. There is a big difference between the two. Population statistics are compiled by the Census Bureau. In the case of Greater Dayton and the Dayton MSA, the census bureau uses the term Dayton MSA when it collects information. Greater Dayton has never been defined and is not the term officially used by local and national government to define the area. Therefore Greater Dayton should be moved to Dayton metropolitan area. I hope my explaination helped. Thank you for raising the questions. Texas141 (talk) 11:33, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The article seems to be about the officially defined area, not some nebulous "Greater Dayton".--Kotniski (talk) 14:41, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
