I propose merging to Los Angeles County, California because demographics is already a section in that article, so having a separate article is redundant. Dofrg (talk) 20:03, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

- Merge – That's not really a great reason to merge, but if you remove all the WP:RAWDATA and uncited stuff, the article is short enough to be merged per WP:SHORTTEXT. FaviFake (talk) 20:17, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose. Keep as a separate list. WP:SPLITLIST(" a list or table should be kept as short as is feasible for its purpose and scope") and WP:SIZESPLIT ("Articles should be neither too big nor too small."). The LA county, CA page is already long enough. Mercy for the reader. Also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of cities in Los Angeles County, California. A merge of both would make the page unfairly cumbersome for the reader.--~2026-35976-24 (talk) 22:09, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
- Keep Largest county in the USA clearly is notable enough to have its own page regarding demographics. Granted we can collapse tables which is helpful but there seems to be a lot here that we would have to move over.Patapsco913 (talk) 16:56, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
- Keep I think the page has enough notability and distinction to stand on it's own. Agnieszka653 (talk) 03:38, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
- Keep The main Los Angeles County article is already extensive and merging these would make it unreadable. The subject has enough notability for it owns standalone page. Keeping them separated is the best way to maintain the article quality as per WP:SIZESPLIT. Staticspector (talk) 21:04, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
