[edit] Samandağ page should NOT be merged with Seleucia Pieria page
It has been proposed to merge the article on Samandağ with that of Seleucia Pieria. This was based on the (false) assumption that Samandağ lies on the site of the ancient Seleucian port, as it was stated in the Samandağ page (already corrected), which even mentioned Seleucia Pieria as the ancient name of Samandağ.
In fact, Seleucia Pieria lies a few kilometers to the west of Samandağ in the village of Çevlik, whose name derives precisely from Seleucia.
For this reason the two articles should not be merged into one as they do not refer to the same site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.186.243.63 (talk) 08:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
