Proposed merge

Latest comment: 16 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

It appears that this article overlaps with Mount Taranaki/Egmont#Mythology. Would it be better to merge this into that section, instead of leaving a small dangling article here? I don't feel strongly about this, I'm just asking. If there is actually enough material to develop a separate Good Article, then we should leave it. If not, I think we should merge. Thanks. --Seattle Skier (talk) 22:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm only familiar with the story in the Mount Taranaki/Egmont#Mythology, but there are different versions of the legend depending on who is telling it. For example, this Version has Ruapehu as the women they are fighting over. This Versionhas Taranaki fleeing underneath the Wanganui River. Including these and other variants in the Mt. Egmont/Taranaki article would be too difficult. Efil's god 04:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't agree with Seattle Skier. The Legend is really a story on its own. When I have time (.....) I'll try to find out some more information on the Legend of Mount Taranaki (and the other mountains of Aotearoa, and for instance incorporate the information of Efil's god. But of course there's a good chance that in the meantime someone else does it! Dick Bos (talk) 06:47, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
