[edit] Merging Old Town and Chinatown into Old Town Chinatown

In order to reflect the official neighborhoods as defined by Portland's Office of Neighborhood Involvement, I think there should be an Old Town Chinatown, Portland, Oregon page. I propose that the Chinatown page be merged into this one, and that it subsequently be renamed to reflect the recognized neighborhood name. (Whether there should be a hyphen before "Chinatown" in the name may be debatable, but since the neighborhood association bylaws don't include it, I don't think we should either.) --ScottMainwaring 02:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

In the absence of any objection, I made the merge/rename. --ScottMainwaring 19:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for doing this; I was planning to. Living in the neighborhood, I agree that, while Old Town (southern portion) and Chinatown (northern/western portion) are somewhat distinct, they are thought of/managed as one area. Also, I would prefer a - or / seperating the names, though I don't know what it technically/legally should be. City web pages use both. Jason McHuff 02:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
