District 6

The article says that Zonnebloem was previously known as District 6. Were the boundaries of District 6 identical to the boundaries of Zonnebloem today? Adriaan Joubert (talk) 00:22, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zonnebloem → District Six – Bold move was reverted without reason given. Place was renamed in 2019 to restore the previous name. Page should be merged with existing District Six page because they are talking about the same thing. Reliable sources regularly use the new name.

Oppose. First and second source are talking about the historic District Six, not the current Zonnebloem. They are also not talking about the same thing, as Districtt Six was split into three districts, one of which was Zonnebloem, and in addition an RM is not the correct format for what you are proposing. Finally, recent news results suggest that Zonnebloem remain the current name, but I am not going to look further given the issues with the proposal.

Oppose. The proposal is nonsense. According to Google Maps, District Six is part of Zonnebloem.

What is being proposed is that the article on Zonnebloem should be deleted and changed to a redirect to the existing article called District Six. So this is the wrong process. But the whole proposal seems nonsensical. The "evidence" presented by the proposer consists of news articles showing that "District Six" appears in news stories - well it would, but that does not justify what is being proposed. You might just as well say that the article on New York should be deleted and replaced with a redirect to Queens (which is part of New York, in the same way that the present District Six is part of Zonnebloem).-- Toddy1 (talk) 00:09, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
