Points

[edit]
  1. Oppose for merging Dozhinki and Harvest festival. Reasons for keeping separate article:
    1. "Harvest festival" is a broader concept. "Dozhinki" is specific (ethnolinguistic) expression of this tradition in a particular (Slavic) culture, limited by region and common name. Being named element of Slavic folk calendar, this holiday may well be extracted as a separate article, more special than the "harvest festival" in general. See also differents interwiki links for Dozhinki and Harvest festival.
    2. Also Dozhinki is not a another name for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is mainly christianity tradition, in the western countries. Dozhinki is based on the pre-christianity folk tradition.
    3. Recognizable name. "Dozhinki", "Dožínky" - is a recognizable name, commonly found in the cultural context, many historical images is attributed to the use of the name (especially collected in the commons:Category:Dozhinki)
    4. Base for contemporary events. "Dozhinki" tradition became the basis for several modern public (official) holidays and festivals.
    5. Interwiki connectivity. Separate article about this Slavic tradition will remain in the some Wikipedia editions; English Wikipedia is main "interwiki hub", and very convenient when possible to cling to her.

Anonymous 46.174.26.245 (talk · contribs) persistently puts {{OR}} template without any explanation. Interwiki links of this article clearly suggests that it is an independent ethnocultural phenomenon (in the common tradition of the harvest festivals). --Kaganer (talk) 07:43, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DozhinkiDożynki – It seems the current name is the least popular in English usage. Per WP:UE we should use the term that predominates in English-language reliable sources. A quick search on Google Books (with lang=en parameter) shows:

Google Scholar doesn't cope well with searches in a particular language only, but still there seems to be a 50:1 consensus in favour of the Polish term (cf. Dozhinki (10) vs. Obzhinki (3) vs. Dożynki (527) vs. Obzhynky (11)). //Halibutt 10:17, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
