Talk:Dyffryn

Merge discussion
I propose the merger of Dyffryn (disambiguation) and Dufferin (disambiguation). Most of the entries are place names that are pronounced similarly. Most are probably derived from the Welsh Dyffryn (valley). I prefer naming the merged page Dufferin, based on the larger number of entries with this name.

 * The derivation of several place names from the Welsh Dyffryn may be incorrect. The Dufferin (barony) article gives the derivation of this place in Ireland from the Irish [A]n Duibhthrian ("the black third"). Lord Dufferin took his title from this place, and several places and structures in Canada and India were named after him. However, my proposal still has merit.
