Talk:Yellow River Map

Merger proposal
Formal notice has been received from user:GUT412454 to merge Yellow River Map and Lo Shu Square. Please discuss the proposal below, and in particular please also discuss the merger target.

Proposer's rationale: They are the same article in zhwiki, and they are usually mentioned together in Chinese. Felix QW (talk) 19:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would support a merger. However, the question would be do we keep the current title or add the 洛書 part? Adding it would make the page title rather long. If it is to be added, then the name "Lo Shu Square" should not be kept, I don't think. Anna Seidel (in Imperial Treasures and Taoist Sacraments) referred to it as "the Luo inscription", which is much better. Retinalsummer (talk) 16:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

As the merge discussion has now been closed and you seem to know the subject matter, it would be great if you could assist with merging the articles. Felix QW (talk) 11:31, 4 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Also pinging original proposer. Felix QW (talk) 11:32, 4 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Strong oppose. They're separate topics from the same myth, there's enough material to keep them separate, and any combined title would be more of a pain than the current arrangement. — Llywelyn II   05:35, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
