[edit] Merge request

I have made a merger request in Wikipedia:Duplicate_articles#G to this article into Gurkhas. Reading through both articles unwittingly gives readers a sense of deja vu, as it did for me, because ulitimately one cant help talking about one without mentioning the other in-depth, since as I mentioned in the merge request, that Gurkhas are commonly formed in Brigades or similar organisations in armies where they are deployed in, and that was were they became famous. Combining the two articles should create a single, well-writtern article with an appriopriate length worthy for refinement into WP:FA status in future.--Huaiwei 22:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

But what would the merged article be about - the British Army unit or the people from Nepal? I realise there is a lot of overlap in the articles at the moment but I think there are two seperate topics there. Cjrother 19:07, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Both. The content about the British Army Units are just as good being in the second half of the article, although I would perhaps agree that if the overlapping content is reduced, then we can maintain two articles.--Huaiwei 19:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Gurkha and Brigade of Gurkhas are two distinct and different topics. The former is about a social group of the Indian subcontinent, mostly residing in Nepal, whereas the later is about the soldiers, mostly belonging to this social group. Merging the two is like merging an article on Sikhs with the Sikh Regiment or vice versa. Accordingly, I shall be removing the merger notice shortly. Further comments are invited. I have palced the similar opinion on these articles talk pages. I do agree compacting the duplicate contents as suggested by Huaiwei.--Bhadani 14:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- If you look at Sikh Regiment, it certainly does not discuss on Sikhs to the point of rivalling content in the later, compared to what we have in the above two articles. Please rewrite accordingly before removing the merge notice, because the concerns remains valid until corrected.--Huaiwei 22:03, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

The Brigade of Gurkhas is about a unit of the British Army which came into existance during Indian independence. The article about Gurkhas and particularly Gurkhas in the British Indian Army and, until there is enough information to justify a seperate article, Gorkha in the Indian Army. So I support a removal of the merge notice. --Philip Baird Shearer 00:56, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
