On second thoughts, and in view of how little geographical stuff there is on the River Dee page, creator of page agrees merge Jameswilson 04:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Done - Royal Deeside page merged here Jameswilson 04:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deeside

I don't know the history here, but am surprised that Royal Deeside and Deeside direct to a page on the River Dee. I have tried to supply information about the river, its course and tributaries. It is far from complete and certainly needs more to justify the Deeside links. Finavon 22:33, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Again - not claiming to know the 'history' of any discussion here, but it occurs to me that an article specifically about - and only about - the river is worthwhile. The name 'Royal Deeside' is an abstraction - that I'd hesitate to use about 'Deeside' even though it is widely used - and probably 'Deeside' should be an article about the valley in parallel to an article about the river. Of course there probably should be a 'Deeside disambiguation' page - with the Welsh Deeside article being moved to (something like) 'Deeside (Wales)' and a 'Deeside (Scotland)' being created WikiWriter (talk) 16:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Agree with Finavon that a separate page on Royal Deeside is desirable. The "River Dee" article can of course summarise the info on Royal Deeside. Hadrianheugh (talk) 17:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
