Its homonymous capital Valencia is the third largest city and metropolitan area in Spain.''

Also, if we can have categories for states of birth/death for American SCs and regions of birth/death for German SCs (among other nationalities such as Canadian, Italian and French SCs), then wouldn't it be logical that Spanish SCs could have their autonomy of birth/death as a category?

Greetings, both France and Spain have issues with "super-regional" organizational entities that aren't really comparable to "US states". "Valencian Community" is more like "Southeast US'. I think it would be better to use the provincial divisions. In any case, the name "community" is a contested entity (some prefer "country") and the purpose of the Gerontology Wiki categories is for geographic, not social issue, organization. "Autonomous" region status is another issue that the Gerontology Wiki would prefer to not deal with. So, I would suggest we could go with either:

1. Change "autonomous community" to "region"

or

2. Go with the province level, which is the historical level used:

Note that the provinces haven't changed since effectively 1833, but the "autonomous communities" only came into existence in 1978. Ryoung122 (talk) 17:16, June 2, 2017 (UTC)
