Talk:History of Rijeka

I've tagged the article for a number of things. It's non-encyclopedic nonsense as it stands. I don't know (but am willing to be persuaded) that the subject needs an article at all - surely a section in the Rijeka article is enough. The main point is that it is entirely unsourced. Unless anyone comes forward with some sources, this article is for AfD in a couple of weeks. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 23:08, 26 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal with Fiumans edit

There's been a merge proposal since 14 June 2018, but the proposer did not start any discussion or state his rationale. GregorB, if you would? --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:30, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Of course, thanks for the heads up. I must admit I actually rarely start merge discussions because the rationale tends to be obvious, but here this is not the case.
To me, it appears that Fiumans is a very narrow topic, with a dearth of sources, which arguably does not meet the threshold of standalone notability. It is merely a name for the mix of ethnic groups in Rijeka, so everything that can be said about Fiumans, can be said either in this article (History of Rijeka) or Fiuman dialect (another merge target that escaped me when I originally proposed this merge).
A possible point of contention is that History of Rijeka currently looks somewhat messy, so merging additional content into it would tend to make it worse. GregorB (talk) 14:18, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
