Burg?

[edit]

Is "burg" the appropriate term here? Or is it just the transliteration of Spanish "burgo"? If it is right, it should be linked to the Wikipedia article Burg (such a page exists but it is a disambiguation page and none of the senses listed seems right here, so in essence the expected article doesn't exist). So, either "burg" is wrong and needs to be changed, or it is right and there needs to be an article on the term. I have found "burg" in an English dictionary but that is not proof that the term is appropriate for this context, and it rather sounds like it wouldn't be:

"1. town: a city or town (informal)

2. ancient fortress: an ancient fortress or walled town"

This article definitely needs the attention of a proficient historian (which I am not, unfortunately). --A R King (talk) 15:29, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I am a native, but as far as my knowledge goes, borough applies according to most widespread definitions. Iñaki LL (talk) 15:47, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Boroughs of Pamplona

[edit]

I think this can be a reasonable solution, one chosen in the Spanish WP to account for all three major boroughs of medieval Pamplona. I remove template requesting merge with Pamplona. Iñaki LL (talk) 15:47, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
