I think a clarification is needed regarding the hook: the source actually says that the Balagansk District was evacuated to a new place called Novo-Balagansk, after which the Bratsk Reservoir was filled with water and the former Balagansk Region was incorporated into another district. The source doesn't actually say that the new settlement was renamed Balagansk, and the hook also implies that the "flooding" caused the evacuation, and not vice versa like what the source says. Maybe one of the other sources in the article has the relevant information? —Ynhockey (Talk) 15:40, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- This one says that the population of the area was resettled after 1958, and that Novo-Balagansk was founded. This one says Novo-Balagansk was renamed Balagansk (will now add to the article). The official website says it occurred in 1962, though it does not say explicitly "N=B was renamed B in 1962".--Ymblanter (talk) 16:02, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
