 * You mean Google Earth? It is at https://earth.google.com/web/search/+Akkuyu/@36.1425853,33.53934607,6.32196437a,3977.66432128d,35y,-0h,0t,0r/data=CigiJgokCWvowQcz9ENAEXU6DHGS8UNAGeHQQ6O8YkBAIaonmRJaXUBA Chidgk1 (talk) 20:16, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose merging Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant into Nuclear power in Turkey because:

1) I will be very surprised if a second nuclear plant is ever built in Turkey.

2) I am considering improving this article to "good" standard and that would be easier if the articles were merged.

 * I disagree with this proposal. They are two distinct topics. Nuclear power has long been a matter of public controversy and planning in Turkey, this started way before Akkuyu and encompassed various government bodies and other proposed plants. On the other hand, some of the contents for the power plant e.g. specifications would be distinctly out-of-place in the general article about nuclear power in Turkey. These are independently notable concepts. --GGT (talk) 18:31, 27 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose: I also disagree. Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is notable in itself and warrants an article. And it is normal in WP for a country to have a Nuclear power/energy in X article if it has a civil program. If we took the merge approach there are several other countries this would apply to, eg Nuclear power in the United Arab Emirates and Barakah nuclear power plant.

 * Oppose These are two different topics. Also, convenience of editing is not a reason for mergers --Ita140188 (talk) 11:52, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose Your surprise is irrelevant. This is a power plant with many resources on its own. --Satirdan kahraman (talk) 12:19, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
