Merger proposal
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- To merge Chernigov Governorate into the more modern Chernihiv Governorate given their historical continuity, for context and given the short text; the question of final name (Governnorate or similar) remains unresolved. Klbrain (talk) 09:35, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
I propose merging Chernigov Governorate into Chernihiv Governorate. The subject of both articles is the single region of Ukraine, separated by the 1917 collapse of the Russian empire. This is inconsistent with articles about the other eight Ukrainian gubernias: Katerynoslav Governorate, Kiev Governorate, Kharkiv Governorate, Kherson Governorate, Podolia Governorate, Poltava Governorate, and Volhynia Governorate. —Michael Z. 23:02, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, but I believe the most common name would be Chernigov Governorate. Ymblanter (talk) 09:03, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- I believe gubernia, province, and government are all more commonly used than governorate.
- In a Ukrainian context, Chernihiv may be more common, and this should be considered since this was one of the nine Ukrainian gubernias of the Russian Empire, and was more recently in the Ukrainian People’s Republic and the Ukrainian SSR.
- You’re right that we should consider the name. —Michael Z. 17:01, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Google Advanced Book Search results, no date filter. The “province” results probably include many references to a different subject, Chernihiv oblast, 1932–present. We could also consider limiting the search to recent sources, or by subject.

- N.B.: Google’s total “results” number is bogus. The actual results are listed 10 per page. —Michael Z. 18:06, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Edit: added results for spellings guberniia and guberniya. —Michael Z. 21:37, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Google Advanced Book Search results, no date filter. The “province” results probably include many references to a different subject, Chernihiv oblast, 1932–present. We could also consider limiting the search to recent sources, or by subject.
- I just realized the articles are actually split not at the Russian revolution, but in April 1918, with the Russian empire and Ukrainian People’s Republic under the Central Rada in the one, and under Skoropadsky’s Ukrainian State, the Ukrainian Directorate, and the Ukrainian SSR in the other. I suppose there’s a logical rationale, but I think the case for merging is much more solid. —Michael Z. 17:08, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 09:35, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge was a good idea, wrong direction though. I'm gonna merge it back into Chernigov Governorate and make Chernihiv the redirect.

Chernihiv Governorate → Chernigov Governorate – Reasons are the following:
- Most content in the article is about Chernigov Governorate as part of the Russian Empire, Chernihiv mainly had a second infobox fsr, which I merged together.
- For the longest period (1802-1917/8), it was known as Chernigov Governorate.
- Same story with the name of the capital, according to Google Ngrams. (There are no Ngrams for the governorates, sadly.)
- The rename makes the title consistent with articles of other governorates of both the RE and Ukrainian successor states (Kharkov Governorate, Kiev Governorate, Podolia Governorate and Yekaterinoslav Governorate).
- Most wikilinks to the governorate are to Chernigov not Chernihiv, because they are referring to the governorate during imperial times, not the short civil war period.
- See also the page views per redirect.
- On other Wikipedias (except the Ukrainian one obviously) and Wikidata, it's named Chernigov Governorate or a similar Russian-based transl(iter)ation.
