== Proposed merger of [[Diyarbakır Province]] ==

It is apparent that both the city and the province are the same, single local government entity. Diyarbakır is among the [[metropolitan municipalities in Turkey]]. İstanbul Province was merged with [[İstanbul]] not a long time ago, see [[Talk:Istanbul/Archive 10#Proposed merge with Istanbul Province]]. This is the same case as the [[List of cities in Vietnam|6 cities of Vietnam]], which are essentially provinces (not true cities). As one proof, the "city proper" population of this "city" is the same as the population of the province. <span style="font-family:Footlight MT">[[User:JWilz12345|JWilz12345]] <span style="background:#68FCF1">(''[[User talk:JWilz12345|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/JWilz12345|Contrib's.]]'')</span></span> 10:30, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

:Support per nom. The article for the "city" covers a lot of material that is not limited to the city itself but the whole province. There is no meaningful distinction between the scopes of the two articles. Merging them is the best solution.
