I tagged the Ex-cites of Latvia section bceause I'm not really clear as to what "Ex-cities" actually refers to. Is it that these places are no longer located within Latvia, have they been merged with outer cities.... ? Some kind of explaination should be given. Travelbird 00:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal
I oppose the proposal to merge List of cities in Latvia with Latvia. It would clutter up the Latvia article. Also, this is a list and should not be merge into an article. I don't know that we really need this list, but it doesn't belong in the Latvia article. RJFJR 14:34, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I second the motion of opposition for the same reasons. b_cubed
[edit] Keep the list
There seems to be an entire collection of countries with List-of-cities-in-XXX. It has a purpose. However, the Ex-Cities list, upon following their links, seems to refer to disputed historical territories. This should probably be clarified with a different title to "Ex-cities" (which might be interpreted as a biassed statement of former ownership) to something like "Regions of teritorial dispute" or "Cities once in Latvia/Russia, and Years of Latvian 'ownership' ".

[edit] Ex-cities
It refers to cities that has lost their status as Latvian cities: Abrene - is not in Latvia anymore; Gostiņi - merged with Pļaviņas; Grīva - part of Daugavpils; Krustpils - now is part of Jēkabpils; Sloka, Rīgas Jūrmala, Ķemeri - together formed Todays' Jūrmala ; Lejasciems, Straupe, Koknese, Rauna, Sēlpils - simply don't qualify for status of city anymore. I`ve seen such lists in printed and proffesionaly edited form - it should not labeled POV just because there is teritorial dispute over one city. -- Xil/talk 19:00, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removing tags
Merge - because of the opposition above, cleanup - I explained what is "ex-cities" above. Soon I will add a decent explanation to article as well -- Xil/talk 13:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Split
Because former cities dosen't exactly fit in the scope of this list----Xil...sist! 16:38, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
