I think those pages are redundant to the NUTS of Turkey page. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:11, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Similar articles for NUTS of Germany or NUTS of France use country-specific names instead of generic ones:

States of Germany and Regierungsbezirk instead of First-level NUTS of Germany and Second-level NUTS of Germany.
Zone d'études et d'aménagement du territoire and Regions of France instead of First-level NUTS of France and Second-level NUTS of France.

For Turkey though, I'm not sure there is an equivalent. The regions and subregions listed at Geographical regions of Turkey is is not the same as First-level NUTS of Turkey and Second-level NUTS of Turkey. Administrative divisions of Turkey does follow the same boundaries, but it looks like the first division of land is Provinces of Turkey, which are the same as Third-level NUTS of Turkey. Are there any Turkish names for First-level NUTS of Turkey and/or Second-level NUTS of Turkey? Forbes72 (talk) 01:57, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Apart from Regions of Turkey and Subregions of Turkey, which were most probably defined at the same time as their synonyms, I don't think there is. --Mttll (talk) 13:01, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to NUTS of Turkey. That is the same material. The other candidate countries (which are smaller I admit) don't have it split up into multiple articles. Also, the main NUTS page already goes 3 levels and a separate article on the third-level NUTS would be overkill. Do it as categories within Category:Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics as the other countries do. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
