Where this page should redirect to

[edit]

The Somnath page was created as a redirect to Somnath temple in 2016, and stayed unchanged until 24 March 2023, when an IP editor changed to be a redirect to Veraval. There were three attempts to build an article on "Veraval" on this page (on 24 March, 16 May and 19 May), which were all reverted. @Kautilya3: I do not understand why you think that the redirect should be to Prabhas Patan. I can see a case for either Somnath temple or Veraval.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Veraval has never been called "Somnath". The village where the temple is located has been called by many names including "Somnah Patan" and "Somnath". See: van der Veer, Peter (Spring 1992). "Ayodhya and Somnath: Eternal Shrines, Contested Histories". Social Research. 59 (1): 85–109. JSTOR 40970685. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please could you correct the page called Veraval.-- Toddy1 (talk) 16:22, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
