Merge with Fukui castle

This page was recently merged with Fukui Castle. I'm confused as to why this was done, as the two are different castles located in different parts of the city. I undid the merge for now, as I can't see any reason why the two articles should be merged. Osarusan (talk) 06:49, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

• After the destruction of Kitanosho Castle, Fukui Castle was built on top of its ruins. For this reason, Fukui Castle was also known as "Kitanosho Castle" until it was renamed in 1623. Thus, Fukui Castle and pre-Tokugawa period Kitanosho Castle were not "located in different parts of the city". The present day Shibata Shrine (located on top of what was once the donjon of Kitanosho Castle) and the monument marking the site of Kitanosho Castle (北の庄城跡) are south of present-day Fukui Castle only because the grounds of Fukui Castle were much reduced in size after the Meiji Restoration. --MChew (talk) 11:27, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

• I live in Fukui City, and I can assure you they are not in the same place of the city. Their ruins are in two very separate locations. They both served as the central hub of the city in their times and are both located centrally in the city, but they are not in the same location and are not the same castle. When Yuuki Hideyasu built his castle he named it Kitanosho castle, but it was soon renamed Fukui Castle and the two are not referred to under the same name or as the same castle. As the castles did not share the same location, same layout or structure, or the same lords, I don't see any merit in merging the two articles. They are treated and viewed as separate entities here in Fukui, although their history is obviously intertwined. It may be worth noting Kitanosho Castle's destruction and replacement with Fukui Castle on Fukui Castle's page, but I don't think merging the two pages is the right solution.
