Talk:ʻAhu ʻula

Overlap

With Feather cloak, not sure if a merge is in order, or which direction it would go. I would almost say merge this into that, since this is the English wikipedia, but perhaps stand-alone makes sense if there is enough to say about each. At least cross-link for now?

That is the more general article, so it would need to be the location of any merge. — kwami (talk) 19:20, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And as for spelling nits, the article and dictionary write it as two words with a space in the middle, while title has one word, no space. Not critical, since Hawaiian language does not have the same western concept as well-defined "words" I suppose. But generally the English style using spaces in a compound vs. German style is used in modern writing. W Nowicki (talk) 20:02, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Proposal

Should this article be merged into Feather cloak? WP:EN states that, when English names exist, they should be preferred for article titles.

Support - This article's name violates WP:EN and makes the information more difficult to search out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:2CE7:2040:F8EA:51CC:D503:4DB3 (talk) 17:25, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose this is a part of a strong cultural heritage of the Untied States and The united Kingdom, both of which are major parts of the English speaking world. It is both insensitive to the native cultures and first nations of the South Pacific but is the wrong approach to merging. It should be the other way around and I propose the content from Feather cloak be merged into this article which is a part of the Royal regalia of the Hawaiian Kingdom and has both historic and cultural significance enough for a stand alone article on the English Wikipedia.--Mark Miller (talk) 06:41, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
