[edit] Overhauled and added to category

This article has been overhauled and included in the Historical regions of Pakistan series as an attempt to catalogue former states, provinces and territories of Pakistan. Green Giant 03:19, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Right, I see your point. You're right, the article has been refined, but it wasn't clear enough on the Gilgit Agency page that the Gilgit Agency is now a part of Northern Areas, there is no sentence on this page that refers to the article Northern Areas. (Although it's mentioned on the Northern Areas page.)

Otherwise, you're right, the two articles stand on their own. How about adding a conspicuous sentence on top of the Gilgit Agency article? I would say that the Northern Areas page is just fine the way it is.

And I saw a couple of articles referring to Gilgit Agency, and not to Northern Areas, in a way that created more confusion. Also, the Gilgit article refers not to Gilgit city, but "Gilgit region", not specifying whether it's about the district, or Gilgit agency... It also states, "Gilgit has an area of 14,680 mi² (38,021 km²).", it is not specified whether it's the area of district or Gilgit Agency. It needs refinement as well.

I Strongly Oppose the merger. They are different and should exist in two separate articles. --Spasage 07:39, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I agree, read my comments above, the Gilgit Agency article doesn't point it out conspicuously that Gil. Ag. is now part of Northern Areas. (It only mentions it down below) See my concluding statement above. Waqas.usman 14:18, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
