Merge proposal

[edit]

A merge from Fort of Pessegueiro seems reasonable, merging to the older article. Same place, it seems. Klbrain (talk) 21:25, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Klbrain: do not merge. We currently have three related articles (naming note "Pessegueiro" (pt) = "Peach tree" (en))
So, not the same fort. They are infront of each other. See Google Maps' view, there is one at the island, another at the shore, just south of the island. Also I'll add the oficial national monuments webpages of each at the article. [1] and [2], respectively (in Portuguese).
Given the info in those pages Fort of Pessegueiro Island should probably be Fort at Pessegueiro Island, it could be merged into the island's article. Or even all together, at Pessegueiro Island?, as the forts, the island and a smaller rock were all one single set of fortifications. But that might be confusing...?

Thanks for setting me straight there; you're quite right that the initial merge proposal is not appropriate, as I had missed the fact that there are two nearby ports, one on the island and one on the mainland. I also note that the one on the island is also referred to as Fort of Santo Alberto in the Fort of Pessegueiro article. However, given that there the island fort article is likely to remain small, and that the ruins of the fort are the main feature of the island, I support your suggestion of merging Fort of Pessegueiro Island to Pessegueiro Island, but keeping Fort of Pessegueiro separate. Adding the national monuments links would be great! Klbrain (talk) 07:28, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
