Bale Province, Ethiopia → Bale Province – A disambiguation page is not necessary, per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Socialwave597 (talk) 23:34, 12 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 19:22, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article should be split into two. The modern Bale and the historical region of Bale on a similar format as that of Hadiya , Dawaro etc Replayerr (talk) 15:45, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page is about the historical region of Bale. Socialwave597 (talk) 18:24, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then it should not be named "Bale Province" and simply Bale then. Replayerr (talk) 22:15, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Given accents are frequently omitted it is indeed necessary. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:44, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading article

Ill be splitting the article between historical bale and Haile Selassie's Bale state of 1900s. Magherbin (talk) 21:55, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting proposal

I propose that the history section be split into a separate page called Bale (historical region). The content of the section is only marginally related to the main article, and this section is large and well-sourced enough to make its own page. Magherbin (talk) 03:42, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I got busy @User:Replayerr, wouldnt it be better to keep this at Bale (modern Ethiopia) and transfer the other content to a new article Bale (historical region)? Otherwise we would need to change a whole bunch of redirects, see all of the pages [1]. Magherbin (talk) 20:25, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no issue with that proposal. That would be a better idea actually. Replayerr (talk) 20:46, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I'll try to create the article when I get free time. If you want to do it yourself you can but note that its crucial to include attribution see WP:PROPERSPLIT Magherbin (talk) 04:35, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will be moving content (pre 1960) to a new article also restoring some modern bale content that I had removed. Pages concerning modern Bale post 1960 should be directed to this article while any pre 1960 content to the new article. Magherbin (talk) 05:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds cool with me. Notify me when the article is made so I can start working on it soon too. Replayerr (talk) 17:19, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. See Bale (historical region). Magherbin (talk) 20:34, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
