Merge proposal

Tagelmust and Litham seem to refer to the same item. "Litham" is the Arabic word, "tagelmust" is Berber? Litham has more articles linking to it. Goustien (talk) 17:59, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would cautiously support this. We have sources saying that this garment is called tagelmust among the Tuareg, and this article also cites sources which use only the term litham in historical contexts. I think that the content of Tagelmust could be a section in this article, though I'd recommend taking a closer look before merging. Eperoton (talk) 02:37, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Tagelmust is short and not particularly well-referenced. In as far as the two terms refer to the same or a very similar garment, the material should be merged; in as far as they are distinct, tagelmust could form a section within Litham. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 11:14, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the two articles should merge. The support for this merge seem unanimous, but I don't know the technical knowhow to execute the merge. SkylightXO (talk) 07:17, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 13:10, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
