Revision as of 16:55, 8 November 2023
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.)
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
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 will also attempt to get more people to comment on proposals.
- Merge Help Needed: 2018–2022 Nicaraguan protests (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) into Protests against Daniel Ortega (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). There was a consensus in the talk page to merge the article (Talk:2018–2022 Nicaraguan protests#Proposed merge from 2018–2022 Nicaraguan protests to Protests against Daniel Ortega). --NoonIcarus (talk) 23:10, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Done with the discussion. Closed as proceed with merge. Execution help is requested. GenQuest "scribble" 14:29, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- (DISCUSS) Merge first finger + second finger + third finger + fourth finger + fifth finger ---> list of fingers by ordinal --- these articles are just dictionary entries, so should be collected as a list article -- 67.70.25.175 (talk) 09:06, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- Merge Genetic history of Central Africa, Genetic history of Eastern Africa, Genetic history of West Africa, Genetic history of Southern Africa into Genetic history of Africa.

- Merge Carey Schueler into Ron Schueler. She does not meet WP:NBASEBALL as she was drafted, but never played in any MLB game and being the first woman they drafted alone does not make her notable. Her article is relatively short and its content can go into the "Personal Life" section of her father's article.2603:7000:26F0:74B0:39E7:2EAA:2AF6:2AD8 (talk) 02:02, 24 October 2023 (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: Economic violence into Economic abuse. These are the same concept. The article about economic violence on the English Wikipedia is currently linked to the Catalan article about socio-economic/socioeconomic violence/abuse, which includes economic violence/abuse but is not limited to it. -Yupik (talk) 10:03, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Spanish settlement in Jamaica into Colony of Santiago. Both deal about the same subject, but the former is unsourced, unorganized, merely a translation from the Spanish wikipedia article, and apparently abandoned. Anuchikibrikiivdamke (talk) 07:03, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Northside School of Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship into Oliver Wendell Holmes High School. The former is a "school within a school" of the latter, and is not independently notable. We don't need weak stubs on branches of high schools. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 07:37, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

- Not done Just 4-5 days out from a "KEEP" AfD. Added to long queue. If still there in a few months, it will probably be OK to proceed. GenQuest "scribble" 20:25, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

- Merge Traffic.com (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) into Here Technologies (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). The latter is Traffic.com's successor after Nokia acquired its former parent, Navteq; typically in these situations there aren't separate articles. The Traffic.com article is also quite dated and lacks citations, and any notable history should be integrated into the Here Technologies article. MikeM2011 (talk) 19:14, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Merger complete. to alt target. GenQuest "scribble" 03:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
