Duplicate article?

Can someone please have a look at the recenty created Mangweol-dong Cemeteries: Old and New? Is this distinct from the existing May 18th National Cemetery article, or can they be merged into one? PC78 (talk) 21:53, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PC78, I agree they should be merged and added the merge tags, suggesting the recent one be merged into the older one.--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 07:50, 12 June 2019 (UTC) I also notified both page creators on their Talk pages.--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 08:31, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is linked to the Korean wikipedia. The new article does not provide a name in Hangul nor it is linked to the Korean Wikipedia. But it uses pictures that are categorized as Category:May 18th National Cemetery of Gwangju. Since the creator is a new account (hopefully not a WP:SPA), we can assume they simply didn't know how to check for duplicate content. Anyway, the new article has footnotes, etc. so I am sure most of the content can be merged here, and I hope that the creator, who was notified of this discussion on their talks, comments here, and if the future knows better how not to create duplicate content (hint: check Korean Wikipedia article first, and check for interwiki links...). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:12, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with everything above. It should be started as soon as possible. scope_creep^Talk 11:07, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The merge would have been tricky because the two articles were constructed differently. I've imported two of the references and then simply redirected Mangweol-dong Cemeteries: Old and New to May 18th National Cemetery. If anyone wants to make a more ambitious merge, the old content of Mangweol-dong Cemeteries: Old and New is still available through that article's history ([1]).Pichpich (talk) 15:35, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
