[edit] Suggest merge with Asyut Governorate

Both articles about the same city Assyut in Egypt
[edit] Suggest merge with Asyut Governorate
Both articles about the same city Assyut in Egypt
- Um, absolutly not. Asyut is an ancient egyptian site, even though it shares its name with a modern site. It would be incorrect to merge this with another page concerning data almost 5000 years removed, especially because there is no continuity of culture. The governates are their own set of pages, but no ancient egypt related page should have the name "Governate" anywhere on it. Thanatosimii 03:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough, but as it stands now both articles discuss the same location in ambiguous ways. Asyut Governorate describes the modern region as directly related to the ancient site: "In the hellenic era of Ancient Egypt, Asyut was known as Lycopolis," while Asyut mentions Nasser and Ahmed Lutfi Al Sayed as being from the city. So if the articles are distinct, which is ancient and which is modern? Jlittlet 21:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup rather than merge
The article about Asyut Governorate should be cleaned up by removing irrelevant information and data, or moving the information about Asyut city to the article of Asyut.
Both articles should stay separate, as the case for all the other Egyptian governorates holding the names of their largest city.

[edit] Nasser
Nasser was born in Alexandria, so what does it mean " people from Asyut". --TheEgyptian 01:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
