Talk:Names of Seoul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Suggestion for merge

Chinese transcription for Seoul (for convenience) and one of the old names of Seoul, Gyeongseong are all about the name changes of Seoul inside and outside of Korea, so I don't think the separate articles are needed. And I think this article has to deal with other names for Seoul like Wirye-seong (위례성; 慰禮城, Baekje era), Namgyeong (남경; 南京, Goryeo era), Hanseong (한성; 漢城, Joseon era) or Hanyang (한양; 漢陽) as well. --Appletrees (talk) 13:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Names of Istanbul is a good example. I agree to merge. But, if we merge Gyeongseong into Names of Seoul, contributions by many people at Gyeongseong would be forgot, that sounds too bad. Technically, Names of Seoul should be merged into Gyeongseong.--Mochi (talk) 14:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, your last sentence sounds reasonable. We need to await for more opinions from others. --Appletrees (talk) 14:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I think we should stick to the status quo, with a link from here to Gyeongseong, and the other names of Seoul, should there ever be a page created for them. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 01:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Consolidate. This is a complicated topic and probably needs a bit more expansion, but the articles could be easily consolidated into a single well-written article, rather than two seperate and rather similar articles. Aep (talk) 09:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
