Name[edit]

The name of the article is definitely wrong, as one can see here Guma Abkhazia shows only 5,860 results but Shroma Abkhazia shows 61,600 results. According to the WP:COMMONNAME, article must to be renamed. Also the name Shroma is used in Google Maps as well.--g. balaxaZe★ 09:16, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reference (likely in English) that says that there is one village known in English by both the names Guma and Shroma? Are these English transliterations of the name of the same village in Georgian and Abkhaz? Geographic Names Database says there is a populated place named Guma, but the name გუმა does not look to me to match the name შრომა used for Shroma. That appears to be a little further south.[1]. Perhaps both articles should exist without redirects either way? --Scott Davis ^Talk 23:13, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The 1989 census summary (Ref 2 when I looked at the article) clearly shows that in 1989, Shroma had a population of 1895, and Guma had a population of 104. --Scott Davis ^Talk 23:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Giorgi Balakhadze and The Drover's Wife: This article looks like it is a candidate for a History split. Noting the move dispute, I need consensus before attempting to perform that action to recreate the original Guma article with its history, and a separate Shroma article with the new content. It will be up to someone else to check the incoming links to both titles, and any articles that name but don't link to either place, there appear to be some relating to wars. --Scott Davis ^Talk 23:41, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottDavis: yes, you are true. Ru wikipedia and interlinks made me wrong :/, in Georgian wikipedia those settlements have separate articles Guma (გუმა) [Akhalsheni community] and Shroma (შრომა) [Shroma community].--g. balaxaZe★ 10:07, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, stand by for the history split. New longer article will be at Shroma, older short article at Guma, Abkhazia. --Scott Davis ^Talk 05:55, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done History split completed. --Scott Davis ^Talk 06:11, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
