Talk:Subdivisions of Turku

Redirects and smerges

While working on Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Backlog drives/June 2025, I noticed that many of the 78 Districts of Turku have unsourced stubs. Can we redirect or smerge (selectively merge) some of them? Bearian (talk) 07:04, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

There are currently too many articles about the wards of Turku, all of which are unsourced and contain redundant information. I propose redirecting the following articles to Districts of Turku and renaming the article Subdivisions of Turku:

1. Wards of Turku
2. City Centre, Turku
3. Hirvensalo-Kakskerta
4. Uittamo-Skanssi
5. Itäharju-Varissuo
6. Koroinen (ward)
7. Tampereentie (ward)
8. Kuninkoja
9. Naantalintie (ward)
10. Maaria-Paattinen

Alternatively the name could be Wards and districts of Turku. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 13:48, 30 November 2025 (UTC) The name Subdivisions of Turku would be consistent with Subdivisions of Tampere and Subdivisions of Helsinki. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 07:28, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

• Support. It would be better to have a single article on all of these districts/subdivisions.4meter4 (talk) 01:39, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

• Support - seems like a very sensible way of presenting the information. Ingratis (talk) 09:32, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

Note on the merger

I finished the merge. Note that I did not include the outdated and unsourced paragraphs about the statistics, such as: Maaria-Paattinen is the second smallest ward of Turku by population, with only 8,756 inhabitants (as of 2004). The population increases by 0.95% annually. 22.66% of the ward's population are under 15 years old, while 9.92% are over 65. The ward's linguistic makeup is 95.76% Finnish, 1.29% Swedish, and 2.95% other. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 13:40, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
