History of Poles in Königsberg → History of Poles in Königsberg and Kaliningrad – There is no need for two separate entries for the History of Poles in both Königsberg and Kaliningrad, given that they are both covering the same ethnic group in the same city. Additionally, having the information on both pages in one place would make it easier for someone researching this topic Orestek (talk) 15:39, 11 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per WP:WEIGHT and WP:PRECISION. History of Poles in Königsberg is an extensive, multi-section article while History of Poles in Kaliningrad is a redirect to a small "Poles in Kaliningrad" section of the main Kaliningrad article. While a merge of this material might be in order, the Kaliningrad section is so small as to be an epilogue to the History of Poles in Königsberg. Thus, adding "Kaliningrad" in the title, even after a merge, is not necessary (An additional issue is that "...in Königsberg and Kaliningrad" looks like it refers to two cities for those not in the know.) In short, the proposed title is too precise and gives undue weight to a small fraction of content which, as of now, is not even a part of this article. — AjaxSmack 15:24, 12 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Königsberg and Kaliningrad are the same city. Granted the rename took place (1945) during the period concerned, but this is not the way to handle that. Andrewa (talk) 09:54, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. WWII/Renaming was a sharp watershed, with virtually no continuity. No need to merge. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:35, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
