Austin is not part of Central Texas

Austin in an MSA of SOUTH Texas, not central. 192.63.40.207 (talk) 20:27, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to our articles, Central Texas includes Travis, Hays, and Williamson counties, while South Texas does not. Unless you can present multiple reliable sources placing Austin in South Texas, this article will continue to say that Austin is in Central Texas. Donald Albury 21:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very long

This article is too long to read and navigate comfortably. As of September 4, 2024, its readable prose size was 13,746 words. Consider splitting content into sub-article or condensing it. The article size impacts usability in multiple ways: Reader issues, such as attention span, readability, organization, information saturation, etc. (when articles are large). Total article size should be kept reasonably low, particularly for readers using slow internet connections, screen readerss, mobile devices or who have slow computer loading. Some large articles exist for topics that require depth and detail, but typically articles of such size are split into two or more smaller articles.

Word count	What to do

Austin, Texas 13,746 words	Almost certainly should be divided or trimmed
