Revision as of 05:32, 13 March 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.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Merge-arrows.svg/100px-Merge-arrows.svg.png)
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)
- Merge Stephen Paddock into 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Paddock is not notable outside of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting and therefore the content of his article can be condensed and contained within the event artcile. Because the Paddock article is of a controversial nature and B classification, uninvolved editor assistance is requested per item 3. Per guidelines, discussion started here on the target page. Thank you for your assistance. Geeky Randy (talk) 13:41, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Bride kidnapping in Kazakhstan into Ala kachuu. The Kazakh terminology used is similar to that of the Kyrgyz term and is the same practice that is done in Kyrgyzstan. I feel that a few sections can be used for applications and laws against bride kidnappin in each of the two countries. Please review and make the appropriate decisions, thank you! 202.94.70.51 (talk) 09:46, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge List of Americans of Irish descent into List of Irish Americans. The criteria for these two lists are word-for-word identical: they include "both original immigrants who obtained American citizenship and their American-born descendants." None of the other lists in the Category:Lists of American people by ethnic or national origin have this kind of overlap. The naming convention for that category also uses the "List of x Americans" format, hence the proposed direction of the merge. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 16:25, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Victoria Leigh Soto into Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting. Wikipedia is not a memorial and does not have articles on any of the other teachers killed in the massacre or the shooter himself. There is nothing special about Soto that makes her worthy of having her own article. 2603:7000:26F0:74B0:CF7:8D75:FA49:8724 (talk) 23:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge British Lung Foundation and Asthma UK into a new Asthma and Lung UK article. These two organisations have merged and now operate as a single organisation, Asthma + Lung UK (ie they are defunct as separate entities). I've mentioned this on their respective Talk pages and added merge banners to each of them, but I don't think I've heard anything on this (apologies if I've missed it!) - so am flagging it on this page. I have a draft article ready if needed. Any advice on next steps welcome! KTnow (talk) 14:10, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Greatest Hits! Part 1 into The Party Album (Vengaboys album). These are the same album, and a different album title (more specifically, one used in the group's country of origin) doesn't warranty a seperate page. On another note, the "standard" tracklist isn't listed on the (main) Party Album page and it has to link to the other, redundant page to display it. TapLover (talk) 08:27, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Ernest M. McSorley into SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Wikipedia is not a memorial and he is a classic case of WP:ONEEVENT, only being known for being the captain of the ship the day it sank. The article contains mostly trivial and uninteresting info anyway. 2603:7000:26F0:74B0:7059:C7A4:83DE:D763 (talk) 14:15, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Kuo Ying-Nan into Difang and Igay Duana. Both article are about same Taiwanese aboriginal singers. Discuss here. --John123521 (Talk-Contib.) 15:10, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Lauren Hill (basketball) into 2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game. Wikipedia is not a memorial and Hill does not meet WP:NBBALL as she did not play professional basketball or was even drafted by the WNBA before her tragic death. Her article's content already exists or can be added to the basketball game article. 2603:7000:26F0:74B0:64CB:38CA:F817:F17 (talk) 17:02, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge The Block (basketball) into 2016 NBA Finals. Much of the info in The Block article is either superfluous, pointless, or is already covered in the Finals article. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 15:50, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge 4th and 26 into either 2003 Philadelphia Eagles season or 2003–04 NFL playoffs, or possibly both. The article might not be a stub, but it's still very short. Plus, the conversion is not widely talked about like other notable plays such as the Immaculate Reception and the Minneapolis Miracle. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 15:50, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge River City Relay into 2003 New Orleans Saints season. The article might not be a stub, but it's still very short. Plus, the relay is not widely talked about like other notable plays such as the Immaculate Reception and the Minneapolis Miracle. Had Carney gotten the extra point, and had the Saints won in overtime, it very likely would be, but he missed, so here we are. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 15:50, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge Quasi alliance into Quasi-alliance. Both pages cover the same thing but the first page is significantly empty in terms of content. 103.24.77.51 (talk) 15:15, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge 2000 New York synagogue firebombing and Conservative Synagogue Adath Israel of Riverdale. Wikipedia is not a newspaper and hate crimes are quite common in the world. This attack had no lasting impact as no one was killed or seriously hurt. There is already a paragraph about it in the synagogue article. 2603:7000:26F0:74B0:E9F4:BC7C:C54B:FE6F (talk) 23:55, 1 March 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 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 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 List of Disney XD TV channels and List of Disney Junior TV channels into Disney Branded Television. Disney Branded Television already covers some of Disney Junior and Disney XD so maybe they could all share. The latter two aren't very large. It would ease navigation with some summarization. 2601:152:5080:9D30:B5DA:2A0F:B343:FE01 (talk) 21:54, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Kaaren Ragland into The Supremes (specifically The Supremes § Post-Supremes groups). The article has been tagged since 22 January and there appears to be consensus at Talk:The Supremes § Proposed merger of Kaaren Ragland except for one account that has been blocked. I've already added the salvageable and sourced content from Kaaren Ragland into The Supremes. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 18:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- Merge EagleCam into IM-1. I'm personally against this merge, and I'd like EagleCam to remain its own article, but the discussion is getting longer, less concise, and is heading towards a standstill / no consensus. I believe we could use some more opinions from diverse backgrounds to reach a consensus, even if it doesn't lead to the result I personally want. SpacePod9 (talk) 03:44, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

- Merge Ultra-processed food and Hyperpalatable food into Nova classification. There are no real competing definitions of "ultra-processed food" to the Nova classification's definition, so there isn't really a need for a separate article. "Hyperpalability" is also a concept generally not discussed outside of the concept of "ultra-processed food", but as it does have an independent definition I'm more willing to be convinced it should be kept as a separate article. Discussion is here. I think this is where I'm meant to put this.--Eldomtom2 (talk) 18:22, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
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 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)
