- Delete. The example sentence isn't even for the State of New York. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 19:27, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Similar to Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, etc. I don't see why multi-part formal names of entities that have the legal status of these should not be inclusion-worthy under our rules or lack thereof. DCDuring (talk) 19:51, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
- Some of the states of the US have formal names like Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Commonwealth of Kentucky, State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. IOW, the formal name is not guaranteed to be State of (informal name). DCDuring (talk) 22:12, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
- There is another entry for New York State. I guess both are considered necessary to avoid confusion with New York City. I would say keep. DonnanZ (talk) 09:20, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per the above. bd2412 T 20:45, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

- Additional evidence: Use of State of New York on the official "Great Seal of the State of New York" and on official letterhead, ie, evidence of legal status. DCDuring (talk) 14:42, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
