Las Palmas was considered the capital of the Canary Islands, but without any real legal and thus was considered but never was capital for the whole of the right word, because it was only capital of the Canaries, La Laguna in Tenerife (and Yet this was for three centuries, while Las Palmas by two). But Santa Cruz de Tenerife it was with all the honors and legal and real capital of the sole and sovereign Archipelago Canario up in 1927 years with the shared Las Palmas. Greetings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.154.235.217 ( talk) 15:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
The largest urban core are Santa Cruz de Tenerife-La Laguna, which are two largest cities united to Las Palmas. Today is the capital, along with Santa Cruz de Tenerife, but was never the sole capital Las Palmas. —Preceding

If you count population of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and La Laguna together, it is 153.187 + 224.215 = 377.402 and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has 383.343. By the way, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has common spaces with Telde (Jinamar) and Arucas (Tenoya). -- Oflo84 ( talk) 23:16, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
In this paper we are putting things that do not correspond to this city, as Arucas Cathedral in the city this Arucas not in this, the Basilica of this in Telde Telde and the Basilica of Our Lady of pine that is in Teror not in Las Palmas. I'll corrected.-- BeneharoMencey ( talk) 11:45, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Arucas has a basilica not a cathetral.--

"When Lolita died in the year 1987, a large part of the Parque Santa Catalina died with her. The love of locals as well as tourists for Lolita was so strong that a statue was put up to remind them of this simple, but extraordinary woman. You can find the statue in a quiet corner of the park near the street Luis Morote which shows Lolita with two of her favourite cats."

Detailed Blog written about her / biography : http://historiascanarias.blogspot.com/2010/01/lolita-pluma-1904-1987.html Apparently Lolita Pluma was a big tourist attraction and very photogenic, so there must had been millions of photos taken of her (mostly on 35mm I guess). It was the Ayuntimiento de Las Palmas (Las Palmas Council) who placed this statue of her, I'm guessing they would of chose the place in the park where she was most often seen. 92.40.171.63 ( talk) 21:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
I am unable to copyedit this section because I find it too confusing - the section lacks sources and lacks clarity, and the paragraph on the GC-2 needs the attention of a 'local'. -- Ohconfucius ¡digame! 04:58, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Las Palmas has never been the capital of Canary I think that it is necessary to erase this part, one is confusing many people with this information, many graces. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tenerifecanarias ( talk • contribs) 21:08, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
No I don't wrog because I'm canary and the first capital was La Laguna. Tenerifecanarias ( talk) 19:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
I support that the lagoon was the first capital of Canary, am a historian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.139.62.162 ( talk) 16:49, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Excuse me but las Palmas never was the capital of canary islands ,but they correct this mistake I will make it I. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.139.68.137 ( talk) 12:16, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria may has not been officially the sole capital of the Canary Island but even that, is has been the most important city ot the islands since it was founded in 1.478, some years before Tenerife was conquered.-- Oflo84 ( talk) 23:19, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Andrewa ( talk) 10:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria → Las Palmas – This seems like an instance of official name vs. common name. I think the common name should be used here; doing so would create no further disambiguation problems because Las Palmas already redirects to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with Las Palmas (disambiguation) covering the others.

I really think that this page should be name "Las Palmas de Gran Canaria". Even though the city is called "Las Palmas", it is not it real name. Just because New York is called "Big Apple", we should change it wikipedia page. -- Oflo84 ( talk) 23:22, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Other sights on the suburbs: Needless, nothing set forth in this section is in the city of Las Palmas and in this article are talking about the city not the adjacent communes.-- 83.40.238.142 ( talk) 15:42, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
After reading this article, it states "Las Palmas enjoys "the best climate in the world according to a study carried out by Thomas Whitmore". I think it is not necessary to indicate that Las Palmas has the best climate in the world. This has nothing to do with putting the city down or any other but we cannot tell which city has a good climate and which city has a bad climate, that is up to an individual and it should be written from a neutral point of view. It sounds biased because it is based on one person and the references used are all low quality (all of them are about tourism, so it sounds promotional) with none of them showing the original study. What defines the best climate in the world varies from person to person. I think this line should be removed. Ssbbplayer ( talk) 07:26, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Las Palmas →
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – Original page was named Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as per its official name, but was surprisingly and swiftly renamed to Las Palmas in January 2012 on the contention that it is its "common name in English". However, this is open to a number of controversies:
As a result, given the absence of any reasoning or discussion when the decision was taken to move Las Palmas de Gran Canaria → Las Palmas, the arguments above speak to the need to revert the page name back to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, keeping "Las Palmas" as a disambiguation page. As long as Wikipedia wishes to still be factually correct, that is. – 2620:0:1050:9:6119:9380:88BE:4BF0 ( talk) 19:19, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
... when WP:ON and WP:WIAN are overruled by WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC without a single explanation, and when logic is defied with statements like "What is official or accurate is utterly irrelevant". No sources to support the original move decision, no reasoning given to oppose the reversal request. A lawyer's nightmare, and a blunder of encycolpaedic proportions. 2620:0:1050:9:B12A:99B6:5921:8C9F ( talk) 17:34, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

This has been going for years but apparently hasn't been fixed???? official name of the city is LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA. it is true that it is commonly referred to as LAS PALMAS, but this doesn't make it real or official. The name of this article is wrong, please modify asap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zogas ( talk • contribs) 09:18, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
Consensus? What consensus? The page was renamed in 2012 from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria → Las Palmas with no debate or vote. One person suggested the move, another agreed. That was it. See for yourself above.
There was a subsequent request in 2015 to move it back. One person gave an opinion that Las Palmas was the city's common name in English. No citations, no evidence, no sources. The request to move the page back was well documented, provided sources, and was not based on opinion. To the point that the person claiming that Las Palmas was the city's common name conceded that the request to move it to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was well reasoned. The very intelligent and final argument used to oppose the move back? "What is accurate is utterly irrelevant". In an encyclopaedia!
To quote WP:COMMONNAME as the only applicable policy while blatantly ignoring WP:CORRECT, WP:WIAN and MOS:PLACE is deceitful at best, and certainly circular since we're calling into question whether this is in fact the appropriate, common name of the place. In fact, Wikipedia is the only major source that insists on calling it "Las Palmas" rather than "Las Palmas de Gran Canaria".
See, for example, the following sources quoted on WP:WIAN:
For a Brit (as acknowledged in the 2015 move request) to tell us lowly people who actually live and/or were born here how our home should be named is culturally and racially insensitive, to say the least.
On the other hand, this is one of the reasons that allows me to keep questioning the credibility of Wikipedia, so keep it up. 77.97.85.24 ( talk) 17:26, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
