Splitting in progress
Currently once again working on the splitting backlog. As splitting can create new pages, which need to satisfy all the requirements for stand-alone Wikipedia articles, there is often some time between closing a split discussion and actually finalising the split. However, there seems to be no equivalent to {{merging}} for article splits, and no holding cell for such articles either. Any input on whether it would make sense to change that?

Hello, per point 3 of WP:PM, I am notifying this project of the merge discussion at Talk:Incel. This is based on a just recently closed AfD (see page of incels.is). The AfD closed with a consensus to merge, but since that consensus, I have increased the incels.is article a lot in sourcing and content though, so a merge may now not be necessary. 2001:48F8:3004:FC4:48EA:35CE:A536:B342 (talk) 20:42, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- This is probably the wrong page for that notice. I will copy to the noticeboard talk page and close this. Regards, GenQuest "scribble" 18:28, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Assistance with merge

This is my first merge proposal. It seems pretty evident, but I will need assistance as to how to merge an article and the correct procedure. The article is: Such Good Friends (musical) with a proposed merger to Noel Katz with given reasoning: Not enough coverage or notable content for stand alone article. Duplicate content at Noel Katz BLP article. Alternative to AfD: proposed merge. Thanks. Maineartists (talk) 18:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Maineartists: I see you tagged the source page at Such Good Friends (musical), which is part of the initial steps to proposing a merge. I've gone ahead and added the other tag to the proposed destination page. The next step is to start a discussion at Noel Katz with what you've described here, which I will start, and you are free to add to. As for the merge itself, you should wait the usual 7 days to see if there are any objections or other comments, then you can proceed with the merge. The merge looks pretty straightforward, I would be happy to do it if you ping me once the 7 days are up. All of these steps are laid out at WP:MERGE. Cheers, Mdewman6 (talk) 18:53, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Mdewman6: Hey, thanks! This is all really helpful! I appreciate your taking the time and lending a helping hand. I'm learning quite a lot. Maineartists (talk) 19:09, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- This is the wrong page for requests, so I entered a merge request for you at the noticeboard and closed this. Regards, GenQuest "scribble" 18:34, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Merge, ideas on determining which way?
The following pages are both on Wikipedia differing the capitalization of the A in against.
- Traditional and Modern Health Practitioners Together against AIDS
- Traditional and Modern Health Practitioners Together Against AIDS
The website for the organization doesn't show which way (refering to it as THETA). They were both made by the same user, apparently for a class and don't appear to be active and the hits for the organization on google don't appear to be consistent. Could I get help here from the Project?Naraht (talk) 15:28, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- It seems to me that perhaps capitalised Against is mildly better supported, being used by both the WHO and the WIPO. However, I agree that the search hits are inconsistent, so it is probably not all that important as long as they end up merged. Felix QW (talk) 16:35, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Merge request for a pair of video game articles
I propose merging Casino Mogul into Casino Tycoon (video game). I don't feel strongly as to which article title should remain, although Casino Tycoon has more content and is therefore the article that should probably survive.
The games were released around the same time, have the same publisher, similar developers, and Casino Mogul lists "Casino Tycoon" as an alias of Casino Mogul. The MobyGames database has them as one game as well (see the covers section): https://www.mobygames.com/game/6094/casino-mogul/
You'll also note in the covers that they use the same art of a slot machine with green crowns. Best as I can tell, these are almost certainly the same game, just with different titles/covers in different regions.
I'm mostly a Wikidata editor, so I'm not too familiar with the specifics of the procedure. If anyone could help me, that'd be greatly appreciated. The articles are from 2005/2006, so I don't want to just blank either page without a discussion.
Thanks! Nicereddy (talk) 21:30, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
