This article was created under the title of Semystra (nymph), as an article separate from Semystra, which was meant to be about the location of her sanctuary on the Golden Horn, created in the mistaken belief that that location was a notable "town" or "city". From all the sources I've seen, it wasn't – Dionysius, the main primary source, only speaks of an altar located there, and that through the altar the nymph had given her name "to the place". There's nothing in the text that points to the existence of a city.
I intend to merge the two articles, which mostly share the same content anyway. Since the "nymph" article is factually the primary one, this will involve some moving around. The "nymph" article needs to move to plain Semystra, while the old placename article must be moved away from there to make place, e.g. to Semystra (location), but then that should be merged-and-redirected back to the plain title.

- If there isn't going to be a separate article about the place, wouldn't it be simpler just to copy the text from here to the undisambiguated title, combine anything that's redundant, and make this a redirect? There's no need to use the move tool at all; just indicate in the edit summaries for each article that you're merging them. That will preserve the article histories and ensure proper attribution of the contents. P Aculeius (talk) 05:58, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hmm, I was thinking of keeping the edit history of the better-developed article together, but maybe you're right; it's not that much history anyway, and the main contributors are the same for both articles anyway. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:35, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
