Please use this space to discuss the proposed merge of Tshituru into this article. Pinging @Forbes72:, who initiated the proposal. Joyous! Noise! 23:44, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure Shituru and Tshituru are just alternate spellings of the same commune. See fr:Tshituru. But I didn't immediately have any source on hand to confirm. 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 00:35, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that the commune should be spelled Shituru as in the official document used as a reference in the communes article and Tshituru seems to be a typical alternate spelling. Doing a search on the Radio Okapi website only comes up with Shituru for both the mine and the commune. As for a merger one article is about a commune and the other a mine.

The mining/commune distinction is a good idea, but I wish it was more clear: the lead in both pages claim to be talking about a commune. Maybe we can move the mining content from Shituru to Shituru mine, and the commune description from Tshituru to Shituru? 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 20:27, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this is a pure spelling issue. I doubt that there is any substantive distinction between the two. —Brigade Piron (talk) 12:09, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
