Merger proposal

I propose that Finland Governorate be merged into Vyborg Governorate. This is just a name of the same entity which was used for ten years, and whatever can be written in this article is already written or can be written in the article on Vyborg Governorate. Ymblanter (talk) 10:24, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Separate articles aren't usually created for entities which had merely been renamed, it's only when the entity's status/type/jurisdiction changes a stand-alone article is warranted.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 15, 2013; 12:13 (UTC)

Merge proposal 2

I propose merging Old Finland into Vyborg Governorate. "Old Finland" is just a nickname for the region, and we don't usually create separate articles for different names. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 03:34, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As there were no objections, I merged the articles. There is a lot of unsourced content, so more work is needed on the article. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 15:21, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
