*”’Oppose”'{{snd}}The above comparisons to the Azores and Nauru would only make sense if the Town of Fogo Island encompassed the entirety of Fogo Island, which it does not. For example, [[Stag Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador|Stag Harbour]] is a [[designated place]] on Fogo Island, but it is not part of the Town of Fogo Island. ”[[User:Yue|<span style=”color:#595959;”>Yue</span>]]”🌙 ([[User talk:Yue|talk]]) 03:22, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

For outsiders to the island, Fogo Island is mostly known due to the Fogo process being such an important tool in participatory community development. The term and story is not anywhere in Wikipedia. Wondering whether to enter it here or create a new page about the Fogo process and just wikilink in between. 70.24.136.10 (talk) 15:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Over the time since this article was created the population has been changed from 5,000 to 3,500 to 5,000 and then to 3,000. If anyone has any credible source of information so that this can be settled, please cite it here. Thank you.–Methegreat 18:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What does the name mean in Portuguese? Badagnani (talk) 21:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fire. There is a portuguese map of 1504 already showing the name Fogo, I think it’s Reinel’s.Câmara (talk) 12:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any roads connecting the villages in the island, or are they all accessible by sea only? —Kevlar (talk • contribs) 20:55, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is also an entry for the Tilting district under the community article – should these be combined?

I do not see a reason why there are two separate pages: Fogo Island (Newfoundland and Labrador) and Fogo Island, Newfoundland and Labrador. Fogo Island is an island, and that island is also a town. They are one and the same. In my opinion, this is like having a separate article about the Azores archipelago and the Azores region, or about the Island of Nauru and the Country of Nauru. Those don’t exist because they are both exactly the same thing.

Now we have one page where the reader finds information about the history, toponymy and tourism of Fogo Island, and a wholly separate page where the reader finds information about the population, government, climate and culture of Fogo Island. It is just logical that someone who wants to read about Fogo Island finds it all in one place instead of having to put pieces of a puzzle together like this.

That’s why I would like to propose to merge both into one single page. Ycleymans (talk) 10:44, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The island and the town do indeed appear to occupy the same geography. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:24, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a merge, we should merge into Fogo Island, Newfoundland and Labrador instead of the other way around. Hwy43 (talk) 18:01, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please give your reasoning? Thank you. Ycleymans (talk) 18:49, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
