Merge as per Schizombie. Capitalistroadster 09:15, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge is good as it says villages too. Although lists of villages are apparently otherwise acceptable as we have List of villages in Serbia and Montenegro, List of villages in Northern Ireland, List of villages in Nebraska, and List of villages in West Virginia among others.--T.

Comment in some jurisdictions or geographies the term village has a different connotation than cities or towns which are incorporated and exclusive. Village may be more like township in certain Midwest or East Coast US States which may encompass land both inside and outside of an incorporated city or town. That said, I don't know what the situation in Samoa is. Carlossuarez46 02:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge for now, although precedent seems to be to have regional lists of places rather than national. This would mean creating List of places in A'ana List of places in Aiga-i-le-Tai etc. Jcuk 10:25, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and delete. -- Krash (Talk) 22:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I have done the merge to List of cities, towns and villages in Samoa so this material will not be lost. Of course in the what seems the unlikely event that the decision here is 'keep', my merge can be reverted. --Bduke 22:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Now it has been merged (Salelologa was left out), so this can be Deleted. We should of course keep the information on the other page. Sorry for the confusing use of three bold words. Ardric47 04:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
