Split?

We should have a Sindh Province (1936-1947) and Sindh Province (1947-1955). Two infoboxes make it cluttered. Aryamanarora^{talk, contribs} 20:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i am only now seeing this is where you sought some discussion. I noted elsewhere that the 1936–1947 section consists of only one sentence, not needing to be split out, and the 1947-1955 section is very brief, too. I see your concern about the two infoboxes bunching up, but I think that should eventually be fixed by the 2 sections being longer, and placing the infoboxes in those sections. If it were split now the two articles might nearly be duplicates and readers would have trouble seeing any differences. Since the exact same map file appeared in both infoboxes, i removed it from the second one and expanded the caption on the first, just now. Having 2 maps suggests to the reader that there is some difference, IMO. Repetition of the identical area figures, however, helps readers see that there was no change. If it is true that there was no difference in borders between the two periods, then I tend to think it really should be kept as one article, with just one geographical section. The 1936-1947 and 1947-1955 sections should discuss any differences, such as change of capital and flag. They can mention that adjacent neighbors did change, including that West Punjab province came into existence in 1947, replacing whatever were the entity/entities that were neighbors during the first period. --do ncr am 21:04, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Divisions

Asked this on other articles dealing with administrative subdivisions, but have still not been given - nor can find - a suitable answer about this:

"On 1 April 1936, Sind was separated from Bombay Presidency to get the status of a province and the provincial capital was settled in Karachi. Hyderabad division was formed on the place of Sind division."

What does this mean? Why is this worded this way? Is the implication that Sind was a Division prior to 1936? If so, that needs to be explicitly laid out. But even after that, after it was given provinicial status, what does it mean that Hyderabad Division was formed on the place of Sind Division? Sind Division as in the boundaries also prior to 1936, meaning that the Province and Division had coterminous boundaries? It needs to be made very clear when Divisions were created and how many Divisions Sind Province had at 1947. Criticalthinker (talk) 05:18, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
