Talk:Thane

Where is Thane? I have said it is a city in India, near Bombay. Because the place is mentioned in the Bombay/Mumbai article. There is no other reference on Wikivoyage. So it needs to be linked from a relevant regional page or be a district of Bombay. -- (WT-en) Huttite 09:05, 4 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I've added some content which makes it clearer.

1. Thane is a county of Maharashtra (I'll link to it from there.) It is administratively different from Bombay.
2. The headquarters of Thane county is Thane city, which is practically a suburb of Bombay
3. But Thane county is also a tourist destination in its own right, especially for trekkers and nature lovers. If you are writing about it, no one will think of it as a part of Bombay.
4. Thane county also contains other small industrial cities (which are also in a sense commuter suburbs of Bombay) which are not very important from a tourist's point of view, but nonetheless are big enough to merit entries of their own
5. So I chose to use the small city template to write about Thane. I've linked to as-yet non-existent pages for cities inside the county, but made an exception for Thane city, because I don't think there is enough material for separate articles for Thane (district) and Thane (city). If someone proves me wrong in the future, we can disambiguate it.

In the really distant future, the whole of Thane district will become a part of the huge conurbation that Bombay is becoming. At that time, we will have to recast the whole thing completely anyway.

P.S. How do I indent to indicate that this is an answer?

Scratchpad

This is a place where I will be putting links to format and put into the main Thane article. Others can help, both with new links and with the formatting -- (WT-en) Sunray Traveller 04:08, 15 Jul 2005 (EDT)

• Nature Trails India - Do (trekking etc.) and sleep.

• Hotels Mumbai Scrape some hotels listing from Thane. It is probably a violation of policy to place a link?

• Yeoor hills.

• Thane Talav Pali

• Masunda Lake

• Upvan

Kalwa merger

Before I started editing about Kolkata and surroundings, I was a very mad contributor. I didn't know the process of merging articles here unilaterally merged Kalwa to Thane (pronounced THAH-neh). SHB2000 pointed out my mistake and had put forward a merger proposal; I haven't looked at the proposal since then. Now, after having reformed myself as a valuable contributor, I'm surprised that the Kalwa article is still there. Can I know what happened to the proposal? I still think Kalwa should be merged to Thane, with another reason being WV:WIAA. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 04:37, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Go ahead as you wish – I'll also admit that I used to be much more of a hasty contributor back then. As a suggestion, one you merge the article, an orientation section in "Understand" outlining the suburbs might help, but keep in mind that's completely optional.
