The link to Lagos does not lead to Lagos/Portugal but to Lagos/Nigeria.)
[edit] Merge with Faro?
I suppose this article should be merged with Faro (district) since the region is now called Faro after it's capital like in other Iberian regions.
- When I was in school Portugal had 11 regions (caled "Provícias") and 18 districts caled "distritos". Algarve is a província and Faro a district. A region was not the same thing as a district. What has changed and where can I get + info about it ?. Take a look at pt:Algarve and pt:Distrito de Faro. My opinion is that, in this subject, we should wait for the Portuguese language Wikipedia to change first. --OsvaldoGago 21:10, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I am strongly against such merger. The Algarve and the district of Faro do have the same area, but they're different concepts. The Algarve is a region, the district of Faro is an administrative entity. Besides, if the articles were to be meged, which would be main article and which would redirect? I can't imagine Wikipedia without an article about the Algarve, and it would be awkward for the district of Faro to lose its article when all the other Portuguese districts have their own articles.--Húsönd 18:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proposal to merge Al'Garb Al'Andalus into this article
Although Al'Garb Al'Andalus is a history stub, there does not seem to be much to say about it, other than that the name was used. I'm suggesting a merger with Algarve. Copying the current paragraph to some other article on the history of Portugal might also be a good option. FilipeS 14:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Proposal withdrawn. On second thoughts, the topics of each article are quite different. FilipeS 20:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
