[edit] Merge
I suggest that we merge Mardites and Marda articles into one article. This group is disputed, there has been several theories to explain their origin, theories such as:
- Aramic origin.
- Greek origin.
- Arab (Banu Murad) origin.
- and other ethnic origins.--Aziz1005 12:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- I do not oppose a merge, but first I'd like to see some more sources. As both articles are at the moment, not much can be determined from them and what's what. — Aššur-bāni-apli (talk · contribs) 18:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

- I don't think a merge is prudent. The Mardaites are an ethnic group of admittedly disputed origin. The Marada were a group of self-governing communities set up by the Mardaites and others. Convention on WP is to separate articles about countries and regions from articles about people: hence German people/Germany, Bashkirs/Bashkortostan, etc. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 20:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
