 * Redirect to Keep and merge with Arpașu de Sus. The current version describes the town for which there is already an article.

 * Comment, although a Romanian commune is the smallest administrative subdivision (on par with a shire?), that does not mean that a village within a commune is not entitled to a standalone article, what is confusing is the title - Dacian fortress of Arpașu de Sus, here is a book about it - Aşezarea dacicǎ de la Arpaşu de Sus, but it probably can be named Arpașu de Sus with information about the fortress in a "History" section. Anyway, this is a keep/rename as meeting WP:NGEO, being a legally recognized, populated place; this website of the commune gives a description of its three villages including, for Arpașu de Sus, that it has a population of 1285, was first recognised in 1589, and includes a church founded in 1799; here is a newspaper article that announces celebrations at the village; here is a listing of a Jewish cemetry in the village; this article from the Land Forces Academy Review in discussing the history of the 1st Romanian Border Regiment lists the location of the 8th company as, amongst other villages, Arpasu de Sus; the Romanian WP article can be used (with appropriate wikitranlsation attribution tags of course:)) to expand it.

 * This is why I !voted for a redirect to the previously existing article Arpașu de Sus (created in 2008) which can be improved. Do you share that as a solution? --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:24, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * but that just redirects to the commune article, i am suggesting a separate village article. Coolabahapple (talk) 09:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You are right! I missed that. The article Arpașu de Sus is a redirect, when I checked the history of the article I did not realize I was cheking Arpasu de Jos instead. Arpasu de Sus seems like the right title for the article so I changed my !vote to keep and merge. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 15:10, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
