[edit] move: Her to Her (Armenia)

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was No consensus to move page; an alternate solution was found below. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:45, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

This is effectively currently a DAB page... 132.205.44.5 (talk) 23:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

  • Support for intuition and lack of evidence that this usage is above and beyond other usages. –Pomte 19:58, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Her (Armenia) as a bit vague but support Her (region) and the creation of a disamb page at Her. See new reasons below. — AjaxSmack 07:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral. I don't see that a move is needed, because the article looks like a dab already. I think a new article (with a clean history) created at either "Her (Armenia)" or "Her (region)" with substantially more information on the region would be the easiest path. --203.94.135.134 (talk) 07:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Well, the article has always been about the region since a redirect was made an article in 2004[1] but it appears that "Her" is simply another (older) name for Khoy per the following sources:

  • "Leaving his native town of Her (present day Khoy in Persia) in the first half of the 12th century, the young Mekhitar departed for Cilician Armenia..."[2]
  • "451CE - Apr 13, A Persian Army of 300,000 men under Mushkan Nusalavurd arrived at a place between Her and Zarevand (now Khoy and Salmast in Iran) to face the Armenian forces." [3]

I'll edit this page to reflect that. — AjaxSmack 17:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
