Japan To-do:

[edit] Merging two articles about Nagaokakyo

The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it.

Nagaokakyo (長岡京) is the same city as 'Nagaokakyo, Kyoto.' While the historical boundaries and modern boundaries are slightly different, they are most certainly the same location and the modern city encompasses the older famous sites of the capital such as Shoryuji Castle, Nagaoka Tenmangu, and Komyoji temple.

I suggest that we merge the two together so as to not confuse people into thinking that they are separate.

YES: In my view, this is an excellent time to merge these two articles -- at the same time that an exhibit is closing at the Japan National Historical Museum. This special exhibit focused attention on the historical capital city in the 8th century; and it will be closing in December.
I myself am a bit unclear about what would be involved; but I would be glad to volunteer to help someone who knew a little bit more than me .... --Ooperhoofd (talk) 23:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, but I don't want to agree with you. As it was mentioned in the article, the city of Nagaokakyo is situated not in the same place as the former capital Nagaoka-kyo. I don't think these articles should be merged only because their names are the same. --Visconsus (talk) 16:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay -- fine. Given that many months have passed since the merge was first proposed, I think it has become clear that these two articles will evolve separately. Further opposition to this merge, see Talk:Nagaoka-kyō#Merging two articles about Nagaokakyo. --Tenmei (talk) 17:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

ISSUE RESOLVED -- NO MERGE
