Proposed merge with Gyeongnam (disambiguation)

[edit]

It seems, Yeongnam and Gyeongnam are just different transliterations of the same word, so should be combined in a single disambiguation page. But as I don't speak Korean, someone who really knows Korean language should make this decision. PanchoS (talk) 22:45, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@PanchoS: It is not really the same. Yeongnam is about double the size of Gyeongnam. Gyeongnam is the province Gyeongsangnam-do, Busan and Ulsan which are in the region Yeongnam. However, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Daegu are also part of the region Yeongnam. Yeongnam doesn't exist anymore as a province. But the name for the region remains prevalent. --Christian140 (talk) 18:01, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
