Previous VfD discussion[edit]
A generic term meaning "border" in Spanish, this was originally conceived as a WV-coined name for the border region of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, then created by someone with some warning info and subsequently redirected to the town of Reynosa. Tamaulipas is very far from needing further regionification, and in truth, it makes no more sense to redirect "Frontera" to Reynosa or Tamaulipas than it does to redirect it to any border town or state in any other Spanish-speaking country. Disambiguation also wouldn't make any more sense than it would for the term "border" in English, so...

- I do not know, but see w:Frontera and w:La Frontera, both disambig pages. It looks as though the term is rather widely used. Pashley (talk) 00:17, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm. Ok, yeah, if there are real placenames to disambiguate, we can do that. There are three small towns named "Frontera" and a number of them that contain the word somewhere in the name (See the Spanish WP disambig page under "Toponimos"). The only one we have an article for is Jerez de la Frontera. Texugo (talk) 00:23, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- w:Frontera Municipality, Coahuila, MX is population 70000 so not terribly small as a town. K7L (talk) 01:42, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, as essentially a district and integral part of Monclova, it's unlikely to ever need its own article, but that's neither here nor there. Texugo (talk) 11:13, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- In that case, this article looks like it should indeed be a disambig. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:11, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- I have changed this to a disambig page, so unless there are any further objections, this can be closed tomorrow and the vfd tag removed. Texugo (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
