Modern preferred, though not official usage[edit]

BC Names and CGNDB have had this at the K-spelling since 1983; which seems out of date, especially per what the third name origin tidbit here says; turns out the original PO name as the G-spelling.Skookum1 (talk) 06:11, 1 April 2014 (UTC)==[reply]

Battle Hill merger proposal[edit]

Any attempt to address the significant content deficiencies individually would result in extensive duplication between the two articles. In the big picture, we have the same indigenous village having relocated a short distance. We have numerous non-indigenous villages/towns in BC which have moved for one reason or other but are included in the same WP article. Perhaps the merged article might be better named Kitwanga (Gitwangak) to reflect the train station, the early Caucasian presence, the government ferry era, and the more permanent First Nations presence.

At present we have two weak articles, both covering the present and former sites. Sometime within the next two years, I will be researching and rewriting the Kitwanga article to provide a more comprehensive understanding of both sites. In the interim, a merger would at least replace two grossly deficient articles with one slightly less deficient article. DMBanks1 (talk) 17:46, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 09:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Train station merger proposal[edit]

The flag stop is merely a rural trackside pole with no platform. The Railway section of the Kitwanga article provides a clearer understanding of the stop over the decades. The respective table in that section is better suited to handling the geographical context where multiple former adjacent station combinations have existed than the less informative adjacent station template of the train station infobox.
