Naming conventions

States names

• Mexican states are located at "Statename". See earlier discussion at Talk:States of Mexico. Example: Baja California, Jalisco.
• If the state name is not the primary topic, then the article name is "Statename (state)". Example: Chihuahua (state), Hidalgo (state).

Municipalities names

• Municipalities are at their base name if not ambiguous and merged with their homonymous cities and towns.^[A] Example Atizapán de Zaragoza.
• For municipalities whose homonymous cities and towns are split, it is "Municipalityname Municipality" or "Municipalityname (municipality)" only if disambiguation is needed. Example: Acapulco (municipality), Zitlala Municipality.
• If further disambiguation is needed, it is "Municipalityname (statename), Statename" or "Municipalityname Municipality, Statename". Example: La Paz Municipality, Baja California Sur, Aldama Municipality, Tamaulipas.

Cities and town names

• Cities and town articles are at their base name.^[A] Example: Hermosillo, Coatzacoalcos.
• If disambiguation with another city (Mexican or foreign) is needed, use the "Cityname, Statename" format: Nogales, Sonora, Nogales, Veracruz, Nogales, Arizona.
• If a state and a city share a name, use the "Cityname (city)" or "Cityname City". Example: Veracruz (city) and Veracruz or San Luis Potosí City and San Luis Potosí.
• If ambiguity might exist because of other uses within the same state, use "Townname, Municipalityname": Buenavista, Tultitlán
• In the rare event two or more cities or towns are located within a state, use "Town, Municipality": Acalmani, Ayutla de los Libres and Acalmani, Igualapa. You can further disambiguate with "Townname, Municipalityname, Statename" if there are other uses of that term outside that state.

Notes

• For ease of linking, unnecessary disambiguation links can be created: Aguascalientes (state), Ecatepec, Mexico, etc.
• A ^ Sometimes cities and municipalities have independent articles (Matamoros, Tamaulipas [city] and Matamoros Municipality, Tamaulipas [municipality]).
