Revision as of 23:28, 16 January 2024
This page lists proposed article mergers as a supplement to the merge categories; it is an index of ongoing discussions of possible mergers, and does not replace any of the other steps in the merger process. Please add the appropriate merger tag(s) to the articles before listing them here.
To see all articles marked for merging, see All articles tagged for merging.
Note
Mergers of CATEGORIES should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
Mergers of TEMPLATES should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion.
SPLITTING of ARTICLES should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Proposed article splits.

When to propose a merger
There are three types of mergers on Wikipedia:
- 1): Mergers that are so obviously necessary and appropriate that no one is expected to object;
- 2): Mergers that would benefit from discussion with the other editors at the affected articles' Talk page about whether and/or how to perform the merge; and
- 3): Mergers that are controversial, potentially difficult to carry out, or where at least one affected article is either rated Class B or higher or is over 100K in size will need assistance from uninvolved editor(s) in determining whether to merge the pages.
If the pages that you would like to merge fall into the type 1 group above, then it is not necessary to propose a merger at all. You should boldly do the merger now, without formally proposing it. (In the event that someone unexpectedly objects, then the merger can be undone easily, and you can formally propose the merger for discussion at that time.)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Merge-arrows.svg/100px-Merge-arrows.svg.png)
How to propose a merger
If the merge falls into the type 2 group or type 3 group above, then proposing a merger can be done in three steps (as the proposer, you should still be willing to carry-out a type 2 merge):
- Step 1: Create a place for discussion. Go to the Talk Page (also known as the discussion page) of the target article (the one you want to merge to) and create a section (eg: "Merger proposal") to discuss the merger. If there's already a discussion on the talk page regarding the merger, you can omit this step. Whether the discussion is new or old, make sure the discussion section names all articles involved and links to them. The section name can be anything that includes the word merge (for example
==Merger discussion==
). - Step 2: Put one of the Merge Request Banners (MRB) at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The merge request templates {{Merge from}} and {{Merge to}}, or {{merge}} are the most common banners used. Remember to make sure that the Discuss link in each tag points to the same section you've created in step 1 (this is to prevent having two separate discussions going on at two different talk pages). (Merge Request Banners should NEVER be placed on article TalkPages.
- Step 3: If the proposed merge is type 3 (above) follow the directions under #Requests for merge assistance and feedback to add it to the list.)
See: Copy and Paste easy merge templates for easy to follow shortcuts of the above procedure.

Requests for merge assistance and feedback
If you need outside feedback regarding mergers that are either tricky or of a controversial nature, please do the following:
- Tag the article as shown above
- Create a discussion as shown above
- Notify the talk page of the appropriate Wikiproject to get knowledgeable people to comment on it. (To find out which Wikiproject the page is associated with, check the associated talk page. It should be tagged with a template, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey.)
- If there is consensus to merge, but the merge is difficult, request help at Merge Talk for assistance.
For other topics:
- If you need help with renaming or moving, consult Wikipedia:Moving a page.
- Cut-and-paste move fixes: If you have moved an article by this deprecated method, then you need to request page histories to be merged; list them at requests for history merge. Please do not perform further moves by cut and paste.
NOTE: Please do not re-list old merge proposals that are already tagged and in the "to Merge" queue (including requests made up to two years ago), as these will be handled as we get to them. -Project Merge
If you need assistance with proposing a merge, list it below and someone will make sure it's properly listed. Note that this will not get the merge completed, as there is a large merge backlog. After a merge is listed properly, move it to the "Answered requests" or "Awaiting consensus" sections below as appropriate.

Merge requests
Please list new requests at the bottom of New Requests section.
- 1) Precede your request with *'''Merge''' (←Copy and Paste it);
- 2) Enter (at least) a link to the article to be redirected in the edit summary;
- 3) Please legitimize your request by signing each listing or comment by typing four tildes (~~~~); remember, unsigned requests may be ignored.
- 4) Please consider helping the project and completing a merge request from one of the categories list at the bottom of this page. Thank you.
NEW REQUESTS
- Merge Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia into Baron Munchausen. While the novel could be argued to be notable in and of itself, Baron Muchausen already covers Raspe's work prominently and the current page for the novel is a repetitive stub. Paintflakes (talk) 23:15, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
AWAITING CONSENSUS
After all involved articles are tagged for merger discussion: the request should be added to the bottom of this section. This section can also be used if a proposal needs further discussion due to age or disagreement. All merger comments and discussions should be directed to the Discussion subsection of the targeted articles' talk page, not here. We can also attempt to get more people to comment on proposals.
- Merge KNDU into KNDO. I don't think articles about satellite and semi-satellite stations, especially those as short and brief as this one, are necessary when the info can be easily described in the article of the station the station is a satellite of. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 16:32, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Flag of South Ossetia and Flag of North Ossetia. They're the same flag with the same history. If agreed, I cannot do the merge since I've never done one before and don't know how. Scu ba (talk) 02:15, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Herman Sikumbang into Seventeen (Indonesian band). Wikipedia is not a memorial and this man has no notability besides being in the band as he had no solo career prior to his untimtely death. 2603:7000:26F0:74B0:3907:89AA:DDBD:8039 (talk) 03:39, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Acer Aspire laptops into Acer Aspire. The Laptop specific article already uses text from the primary article, and only offers specifications for specific laptop models, like a product line-up. The "Laptops" page has been a proposed merge as early as 2011, and I think it would make things more clear and succinct. 192.77.12.11 (talk) 04:46, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Timeline of U2 to U2 The former article needs some work, and could easily be merged into the latter. The U2 timeline article is not great, and the U2 article could benefit from expanded history section. Geardona (talk) 02:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Articles are tagged and Merger Discussion area is set-up >>>here<<<. GenQuest "scribble" 08:20, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Dedicated freight corridors in India into Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India. The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India is the owner and the operator of the Dedicated freight corridors in India, having two articles on same subject is confusing. Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India is a govt. undertaking company that owns, operates the freight corridors. I highly recommend on merging this article with Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewikizoomer (talk • contribs) 10:25, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Certified registered nurse anesthetist into Nurse anesthetist. Per WP:REDUNDANT, as a CRNA is a type of nurse anesthetist certification and does not warrant its own page. Additonally, there is a considerable amount of information about the history of nurse anesthesia that is the exact same or extremely similar on each article.Invinciblewalnut (talk) 00:59, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Geomatic engineering into Geomatics. This is the 2nd time the merge has been proposed, and the discussion has stagnated with one in favor in addition to the one who proposed the merge (me), and one against. I have requested feedback from users of both Wikiproject maps and Wikiproject geography. Merge is proving controversial and would need assistance from uninvolved editor(s) in determining whether to merge the pages. The merge discussion has been open since December, I don't want to act on a consensus of just two against one. Please note that there are potential plagiarism and source issues on the geomatics engineering page.

ANSWERED REQUESTS
After discussion concludes, completed requests should be moved here (to the top of this list). Please mark as {{Done}} (or {{merge done}} if merge has actually occurred), {{Not done}}, or {{Working}} when consensus has been reached.
- Merge 2023 Cairns floods into Cyclone Jasper. The flooding around Cairns was triggered by Jasper and its remnant low stalling and enhancing rainfall in the area for several days. Precedent has been set in the past with 2013 Eastern Australia floods redirecting to Cyclone Oswald and 2017 Eastern Australia floods to Cyclone Debbie. Andyman14 (talk) 15:24, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
