` :I don't know of any articles on cities specifically that aren't in ``compliance``, as the exceptions have been written into the guideline (the AP Stylebook and primary topic exceptions). However, not everyone favors the guideline and there's always substantial support for eschewing it whenever it comes up. For instance, in October I closed an RM at Beverly Hills, California where there was surprising support removing the state name. Additionally, the guideline says nothing whatsoever about metro areas and similar subjects that aren't cities and towns. For example there's no agreement about how to title articles on neighborhoods within cities, which comes up regularly. In other words, there are no conventions relevant to metro areas - and certainly nothing that supports or requires your proposed titles - beyond the standard WP:AT policy. In fact, in most cases I saw they actually broke with WP:COMMONNAME, as few if any other sources used them. / `
