This page lists proposed article mergers as a supplement to the merge categories and templates; 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.

Category mergers should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

Template mergers should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion.

How to propose a merger

Proposing a merger can be done in three steps:

Create a place for discussion. Go to the discussion page (also known as 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==.
Put one of the merger tags at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{merge}}, {{Merge from}} and {{Merge to}} 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.
If the proposed merge is controversial or potentially difficult to carry out, follow the directions under #Requests for assistance and feedback to add it to the list.

Automatically generated log

For each month, a list of up to 200 requests is generated by a bot. When the merge templates have been removed from the articles in question, they will be taken off the list.

Requests for assistance and feedback

In general, this section should be used to solicit outside feedback regarding mergers that are either tricky or of a controversial nature. 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.
If you need help with renaming or moving, consult Help:Moving a page.
For guidance on merging, consult Wikipedia:Integrate.
Cut and paste move fixes: To request page histories to be merged, list them at cut and paste move repairs.

Merge Lycus, son of Poseidon into Lycus (Descendant of Lycus). Greek mythology is so convoluted that it's hard to tell if this is true, but I'm pretty sure they're the same person (see [1], [2]).

Merge Herem into Cherem. See Talk:Cherem#Merge Herem into this article. The word is the exact same word, and it is used multiple ways in the Torah.
