Any useful content in Humane Columbia should be merged here. Polyamorph (talk) 20:55, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support: the country is called Colombia, not Columbia, so this is the correct name for the article. Richard3120 (talk) 20:59, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment there doesn't seem to be a great deal of content to actually merge here, but either way Humane Columbia predates this article and as such I think some attribution should be made at some point in the editing history to acknowledge this fact.Polyamorph (talk) 21:10, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The fact that one article has a misspelled name is a mistake I made while moving that article. I'd say it is better to fix that mistake rather than creating a new article like what was done earlier today! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
How about merging in the other direction, from here to the Columbia page. Then do a page swap to correct the title. Given the Columbia article predates this one that is probably the "proper" way to do it. Polyamorph (talk) 07:07, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy with either suggestion, and it seems the page creator below agrees, they only created the new article in order to correct the name, not knowing that it could simply be renamed. The information they added is also useful and from reliable sources. I don't think there will be any opposition to this merge proposal, it's not controversial.

OK, I have page mover rights so will close this discussion now, swap the titles, and perform the merge. Cheers Polyamorph (talk) 20:18, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Yeah, I made the article since the former one had a mistake in spelling ("Columbia"). Sorry about that, didn't know I went about it the wrong way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caveman Caveman Caveman (talkcontribs) 22:36, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion from Human Colombia[edit]

User:AntonioMartin moved this page to Human Colombia. I'm not sure why he thought that this was a good idea, let alone an uncontroversial one.

The closest translation of this word is humane, which carries a connotation of both kindness and relating to people. If we use the word human, it loses all the connotation of kindness which exist in the original Spanish.

If User:AntonioMartin disagrees, I would request that he open a move discussion as above. Magog the Ogre (tc) 23:07, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Magog. The reason I moved the page, and why I thought it would not be controversial is because human is the correct translation. Humane, as we know, to most people (or, at least in the United States; I don't know about the commonwealth countries, Australia and etc.)-is associated with animals, as in "American Humane Society".
I don't know how to set up a discussion at Wikipedia: apart from writing and editing (and moving), I'm pretty much useless here. I even created a VFD last night (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Olx egypt) that is not showing up on the votes for deletion page!
Thanks and God bless! Antonio Useless martin (si?) 1:51, 22 June, 2022 (UTC)
I agree with Magog the Ogre – it's true that in Spanish "humano" (masculine) or "humana" (feminine) can mean either "human" or "humane". But in this case it's certainly "humane". "Human Colombia" would be an odd name to give to a party... like the other parties are not oriented towards human beings, or that a country is a human being? But I'm certain that Petro named his party Humane Colombia in order to imply that he felt that other parties lacked some sort of decency towards the average citizen. More importantly, it's the name that all reliable sources use: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Richard3120 (talk) 00:59, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
