Merger Proposal[edit]

I propose that Dinajpur be merged into Dinajpur District (Bangladesh). The content on both pages is almost identical. Abhi 00:24, 18 November 2013 (UTC) — Preceding comment added by Skullers ab (talk • contribs) 00:16, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dinajpur District, Bangladesh → Dinajpur District – Original name, same name district in India are divided in North and south Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 11:53, 29 July 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 14:15, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 5-second history: there was a historical Dinajpur District, Bengal (WP:REDLINK, but an article might be written [1]). It was divided at Partition [2]. The part that went to India became known as West Dinajpur district, and, as the nominator points out, that was later divided to Uttar Dinajpur district and Dakshin Dinajpur district.

NOTE the target of the request used to be a disambiguation page [3] -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 04:56, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't having the target at the original disamb the best option? Imc (talk) 21:43, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: no clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Additionally I would recommend that we reinstate Dinajpur District as a disambiguation page which was its role from 2005 to 2009 as previously noted by IP above. Ebonelm (talk) 15:49, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Dinajpur District, Bangladesh[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Dinajpur District, Bangladesh's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "census":

From Munda people: "A-11 Individual Scheduled Tribe Primary Census Abstract Data and its Appendix". www.censusindia.gov.in. Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India. Retrieved 18 November 2017.
From Nawabganj Upazila, Dinajpur: "Population Census Wing, BBS". Archived from the original on 2005-03-27. Retrieved November 10, 2006.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:25, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
