Multiple article of same topic under different name[edit]

This article and Dharmatala are two names of same place. I am resident near to that place, so know about it. It may create confusion to the readers as both are same localities. Also see the co-ordinates of two places, both are nearly same. So the articles should be merged into a single article naming one of them.

The article on Esplanade says "In olden days, it stretched from Dhurmotollah (now Lenin Sarani) to Chandpal Ghat on the Hooghly river." Esplanade is spread over wards 45 & 46 of KMC, whereas Dharmatala consists of wards 46 & 47 of KMC. It means although these two places share some common area they are not exactly the same place. — Diptyajit (talk) 22:59, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
