Merger proposal

I propose that Nagina_Wadi be merged into Kankaria. I think that the content in the Nagina Wadi article can easily be explained in the context of Kankaria, and the Kankaria article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of Nagina Wadi will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.--Kondicherry (talk) 12:24, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Nagina_Wadi is inside Kankaria, and the Nagina Wadi article itself is a stub. So I think that Nagina Wadi.--Kondicherry (talk) 12:41, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

1. Dont Merge - We are not concerned with the size of an article. Kankaria and Nagina wadi are two different subjects though physically being together. Both work seperately. Kankaria is a lake in which Nagina wadi is located. Kankaria is govt.'s property and Nagina wadi is not. Govt. doesn't decide things happening in Nagina Wadi. Merging of nagina wadi with Kankaria is like merging Finger with Hand. Also keeping an seperate article about Nagina wadi will not cause any trouble. It will also be helpful for someone who is unfamiliar with Guj, to understand Nagina wadi. Yasht101 :) 07:54, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I too suggest a merge because Nagina wadi article will remain stub and there is no information to expand it enough to reach start class. Merge in section on nagina wadi in aricle. --Nizil (talk) 21:40, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Nagina Wadi

I don't remember why I opposed this merger few years back. However, this article does not meet WP:GNG. The article is completly unreferenced, only mentions the services offered, some ties with AMC and has nothing to suggest it is notable. It is a stub and likely to remain one; I am unable to find facts or reliable independent sources to expand it. — Yash! ^(Y) 02:34, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

I still support the merge. -Nizil (talk) 12:01, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Section about State Bank of India logo inspiration

There is a section called logo inspiration which I have removed. It contained the following:

The State Bank of India logo was designed by National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad and apparently the inspiration was Kankaria lake.

I am removing it because the source is not a reliable source and there is considerable doubt if this lake is indeed the inspiration. I would be happy to discuss further is required.--DreamLinker (talk) 10:18, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

I do share your doubt but satellite image of Kankaria Lake has some similarity with SBI logo. I do not want to add this info back until some solid proof is available. --Nizil (talk) 12:17, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it seems quite similar to me too. But I read somewhere that the actual designer said it was not inspired by it. Will have to search for the article.--DreamLinker (talk) 16:11, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
