Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers

This page is an incomplete list of proposed mergers. Anyone may list any article merger proposal here. This is optional, and it 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. See Category:Merge by month for all pages needing to be merged.

Guidelines

In general, this page should be used primarily to solicit outside feedback regarding mergers (particularly those of a controversial nature), or assistance with difficult or complicated mergers. Brief replies may be posted here, but lengthy discussions should be confined to the talk pages of the articles involved. After articles are merged (or a consensus that the articles should not be merged is reached), please remove them from the list below.

• If you want to show off your work, use the talk page.
• Category mergers should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
• For a complete list of articles with current merger proposals, please see Category:Articles to be merged.
• If you need help with renaming or moving, consult Help:Moving a page.
• For guidance on merging, consult the Integration WikiProject.

Cut and paste move fixes: To request page histories to be merged, list them at cut and paste move repairs.

How to propose a merger

Proposing a merger can be done in three steps:

1. Create a place for discussion. Go to the talk page of one of the articles and create a section to discuss the merger. If there's already a discussion on the talk page regarding the merger, you can omit this step. The section name can be anything, for example ==Proposed merger from Page1==.
2. Put one of the merger tags at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{merge}}, {{mergefrom}} and {{mergeto}} are the most common ones. Remember to make sure that the Discuss link in each tag points to the section you've created in step 1 – this is to prevent having two separate discussions on different talk pages.
3. List the page under the current month, on top of the list. Remember to include a link to the talk page from step 1. Sign your request with four tildes (~~~~). For example:

* Merge [[Page1]] into [[Page2]]. The pages should be merged because... Discuss [[Talk:Page2#Proposed merger from Page1|here]]. ~~~~

• Merge Egyptian influence in architecture and visual arts into Egyptian mythology in popular culture, discuss at Talk:Egyptian mythology in popular culture. Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
• Merge suggestion into hypnosis. Apart from dictionary definition, what is left is integral part of latter article. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:02, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
• Merge Red Garden: Dead Girls into Red Garden. I believe that the article is too small. This would benefit the main article, Red Garden --Hugosworld92 @ 18:07, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
• Merge History of Hanover into Province of Hanover. I propose this because splitting these two articles makes it difficult for readers to get all the information. Since Hanover is a former province, there isn't really any point of having two articles. --I dream of horses (T) @ 18:30, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

July 2009

• Merge Animal language into Animal communication. Old merge request from October 2007, procedural request. --NickPenguin_(contribs) 06:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

• Merge Banco de Oro Universal Bank into Banco de Oro. The pages should be merged because the former article simply holds information about the history of the organization, which should have been incorporated into the main article. Discuss here. Handtell (talk) 12:48, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
• Remerge Captain Hook (Disney) into Captain Hook. I am proposing we remerge the two articles back into one, because a split was unnecessary and undesirable. Discuss here. Powers ^T 12:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

• Proposed merge of Simulism into Simulated reality. A previous AfD pretty strongly pointed at merging, and the title and parts of the content positively seem to be a neologism. Discuss here. --LjL (talk) 01:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

• Incr Tcl redirect to Itcl, but Incr Tcl have a history that refer to same content, an Itcl should be named Incr Tcl, because the name of software really is (see web site of incr Tcl. Next merge the articles (Note that content of Itcl is more complete). So I am proposing Move Itcl to Incr Tcl, and merge your histories. Shooke (talk) 21:30, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
• I am proposing that Kratom extraction be merged into Kratom. Kratom Extraction can easily be included as a subtopic of the main Kratom article. I have no idea why a separate page was created and it is mostly a copy of the chemical makeup and physiological effects of Kratom; pretty much zero discussion of extraction methods. Mpawelek (talk) 16:08, 9 July 2009 (UCT)
• I am proposing that Ludgate Circus tube station be merged in to City Thameslink railway station, given that the former was/is a proposed station on the site of the existing City Thameslink station, and if it were to ever be built would exist as part of the same station complex. Grunners (talk) 17:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

• Beyond Belief (symposium) into The Science Network. They are about the same organization. Both articles are struggling to survive as it is. Putting them together would help them gain notability.Steve Dufour (talk) 17:25, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
• Radical Islamism in Azerbaijan into Islam in Azerbaijan, any of two talk pages could be addressed. brandспойт 19:37, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

April 2009

• This is a request to merge Seven Cities of Hampton Roads and Seven City into Hampton Roads. All 3 articles cover the same area. JeffConn (talk) 13:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
• Merge Labour Day (which is %90 a list of May 1 celebrations) with International Workers' Day (which also lists May 1 celebrations. Originally Labour Day included United States Labor Day, but that was split off. International Workers' Day is a split from May 1.

• Merge Rod Blagojevich with duplicate articles Rod Blagojevich Gubernatorial administration and Rod Blagojevich controversies. See Talk:Rod Blagojevich for discussion. --TommyBoy (talk) 02:25, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
• Merge Acne scarring into Acne vulgaris. Proposed earlier, but confused dates because of a different merge.Gorton k (talk) 14:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
• Propose merger of Punch-Out!! (arcade game), Punch-Out!! (NES) and Punch-Out!! (Wii), into Punch-Out!! (video game) (over redirect) Punch-Out!!. These are are all versions of the same game produced by Nintendo (yes, even the arcade game) and they fail the Pokemon Test. The Punch-Out!! game itself is far more notable than any one of its versions, and these many short articles would better serve the reader as one article that discusses all these versions. Wilhelm_meis (talk) 11:34, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
• Please weigh in on a proposed merge of Holy Week and Holy Week (Catholic Church) at Talk:Holy Week. — AjaxSmack 02:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

• Merge SDRAM latency and CAS latency. They're heavily overlapping and basically the same subject matter. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 02:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

January 2009

• Merge Canada's Hundred Days into Hundred Days Offensive. The Canada's Hundred Days article places focus on Canada's participation in the Hundred Days Offensive of World War I. The page is largely uncited, strong on POV and contains largely duplicated material from Hundred Days Offensive and Military history of Canada during World War I. The importance of the battle is already emphasised in Military history of Canada during World War I and any unique battle information could easily be adopted into Hundred Days Offensive. Thoughts Labattblueboy (talk) 18:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
• Merge Theorica into Theoric fund. F.chiodo (talk) 21:34, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
• Merge User:Nousernamesleft/desk/qin (the user involved with it has left Wikipedia) into Qin Dynasty. Foxy Loxy ^Pounce! 12:28, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
• Merge the multiple stub articles on housecleaning, house work and household management into a single article, housekeeping. This merger will also require moving the current housekeeping disambiguation list to a new housekeeping (disambiguation) article. Any feedback is appreciated here. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 02:54, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
• Merge (multiple) articles for characters and other aspects of the Redwall series of books. There are dozens of individual character articles and lists of characters, most of which unreferenced, such as list of bird characters, etc... Trying to avoid deletion, but it really is way too much information, far exceeding encyclopedic content. Discussion for all articles and a listing of articles at Talk:Redwall#Merger proposal.
