Wikipedia:Proposed mergers
This category has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. Please remove this notice if and when the backlog is cleared. |
The discussion about merging at the village pump is now archived (here). The vast majority of those who expressed an opinion considered the system based on the current templates and this process (Wikipedia:Proposed mergers) to be inadequate.The implementation of a new automated system is being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Merge/Archive 2#Automation of merge proposals. More participation in that discussion is welcome.
This page lists proposed article mergers as a supplement to the merge categories and templates; it is meant for discussing 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
- 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.

How to propose a merger[edit]
There are three types of mergers on Wikipedia:
- mergers that are so obviously necessary and appropriate that no one is expected to object;
- mergers that would benefit from discussion with the other editors at the affected articles about whether and/or how to perform the merge; and
- mergers that are controversial or potentially difficult to carry out, and therefore need assistance from uninvolved editors in determining whether to merge the pages.
If the pages that you would like to merge fall into the first group, 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.)
If a formal discussion is wanted, then proposing a merger can be done in three steps:
- 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 proposal==
). - Put one of the merger tags at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{Merge from}} and {{Merge to}}, or {{merge}} 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 merge assistance and feedback to add it to the list.
Many bold mergers are performed each day. Of the mergers that are formally proposed, about 95% fall into the second category, of wanting discussion or practical assistance from the editors at the articles that are to be merged. The remaining 5% of formally proposed mergers are on contentious topics or are controversial for one reason or another. Only this small fraction is listed at the bottom of this page as instructed in step #3.
Requests for merge assistance and feedback[edit]
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, contact Wikipedia:WikiProject Merge for assistance.
For other topics:
- If you need help with renaming or moving, consult Help:Moving a page.
- Cut-and-paste move fixes: If you have merged an article by this 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: Do not Post Here if You are Not Willing to do the Merge Yourself. We will provide you assistance in how to complete the merge if you are unsure how to do it. -Project Merge
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
New requests[edit]
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. Once a merge is listed properly, move it to the "Completed requests" or "Awaiting consensus" sections below as appropriate.
Please list new requests at the bottom of this section. Use the Edit Summary and list at least a link to the article to be redirected. Please legitimize your request by signing each listing or comment by typing four tildes (~~~~):

- Merge List of 2014 FIFA World Cup matches into 2014 FIFA World Cup — unnecessary duplicate of the matches sections, in my opinion. 71.146.1.174 (talk) 01:50, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Nokia Lumia Icon into Nokia Lumia 930 - It's the same phone. The US version just uses a different name. Illegal Operation (talk)
- Merge Trail of Dreams 2010 with/into Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, as it was a supportive campaign/activity by four undocumented activists in support of DACA, and serving to help identify the continued efforts to pass DACA. The campaigns/activities by the activists in the hope said acitivities will lead to permanent residency and eventually citizenship for individuals qualifying for DACA. TalkAbout (talk) 00:03, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

- Merge CBSO Young Voices, CBSO Youth Chorus, and CBSO Youth Orchestra as all three contain nearly the same information. The new target for the merged article is proposed as CBSO Youth Chorus. ArcAngel (talk) ) 23:19, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Masters athletics and all the subarticles listed in the category Category:Masters athletics world_record progressions. Alternatively, merge subarticles with their main activity (i.e. Master athletics shot put merged into Shot put). There are 240 or so separate articles in the category that are orphans devoid of context as they are broken down by activity, gender and age. Even the Olympics don't have such narrow focus. The information is salvageable, otherwise they would all be A1 speedy. They seem to be the the creation of a single editor Trackinfo (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). --DHeyward (talk) 05:41, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
-
- Needless to say, I oppose this merger request. I'm not familiar with this page, so I do not know where the full discussion should take place. I'm going to take it to (DHeyward's talk page) to try to talk some sense into him in hopes he will remove this request. Trackinfo (talk) 06:18, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
-
- Merge Budj Bim into Mount Eccles. Budj Dim is an Australian Aboriginal word for the mountain. Rangasyd (talk) 11:04, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

- Merge Suez Canal Corridor Development Project with New Suez Canal. Metron (talk) 20:17, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Monotype Corsiva into ITC Zapf Chancery. Blythwood (talk) 05:29, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Radio Veritas into Radio Veritas Asia. (ElSaxo (talk) 22:17, 9 September 2014 (UTC))
- Merge the terribly sourced Cyberforce (and other) articles into Image Comics. Tagged and awaiting consensus. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 20:10, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
- Merge communist state with socialist state, since communist state is a generalization of the term socialist state. --TIAYN (talk) 21:40, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- Merge St. Teresa's High School, Girgaum, Mumbai with Saint Teresa's High School, Girgaum, Mumbai, they're about the same school and i suspect a previous attempt at moving/merging them went wrong somewhere.. Trinidade (talk) 20:18, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
-
- Comment Both appear to have been merged into St. Teresa's High School, Charni Road – someone may want to check that the merger has been completed properly. Richard3120 (talk) 01:25, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Merge City and Colour into Dallas Green (musician). On the City and Colour article currently states in the first sentence that the article is about a recording alias belonging to Dallas Green . It also states the only band member in the associated project is Dallas Green himself. The member list after him is separate and designated "other back up". In its current state a merge is entirely appropriate. --Wudumindif (talk) 00:53, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
- Merge American Forces Press Service into DoD News Channel. Gregkaye ✍♪ 17:41, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Miramichi (electoral district) into Miramichi—Grand Lake. Miramichi—Grand Lake is a redistributed Canadian federal electoral district that is comprised mostly of the former Miramichi federal electoral district. There is a precedent of keeping redistributed-but-largely-similar electoral districts in the same article as their predecessor district. This precedent has, in fact, been used in constructing the page for the Miramichi electoral district, as the district's previous incarnation as the district of Northumberland-Miramichi is contained in the same article. Further, of the 10 federal districts in New Brunswick, all have been redistributed, but Miramichi—Grand Lake is the only new district to have received a separate article from its predecessor. --Omertop (talk) 19:35, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Flight information display system into Split-flap display. A.w.stephens (talk) 16:55, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Historic Wintersburg into Historic Wintersburg in Huntington Beach, California as a duplicate. Bahooka (talk) 04:01, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Heartbeat (computing) into Keepalive. Heartbeating is a way to implement the "keep-alive" concept. 194.138.39.62 (talk) 15:09, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Merge L'Hospitalet de Llobregat Baseball Stadium into Estadi La Feixa Llarga. It's the same stadium, reformed for football purposes after the 1992 Summer Olympics (source). Asturkian (talk) 20:40, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Amy Swensen into Amy Tran as they are the same person.Red Fiona (talk) 22:47, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
-
- Support but I'm not sure whether the resulting single article should be under Tran (her maiden name), Swenson (her married name), or Tran-Swenson (as some sources seem to call her). Richard3120 (talk) 00:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Merge List of programs broadcast by Discovery Kids and List of programs broadcast by Hub Network into List of programs broadcast by Discovery Family, since Hub Network and Discovery Family carried over programming from their previous incarnations when they launched, and since the main articles have been merged. ElectricBurst(Electron firings)(Zaps) 18:15, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Bose (surname) into Basu. Former is the anglicized form of the latter. BengaliHindu (talk) 12:03, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Lake Poinsett (Brevard County, Florida) into Lake Poinsett (Florida). The later is a redirect and we want to preserve page histories and end up with a single page at the later. JodyB talk 18:00, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Endurance art into Performance art. Thank you. Bus stop (talk) 12:54, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Mannlicher Berthier and Berthier carbine into Berthier rifle. The Berthier rifle article already describes both of the articles that are suggested to be merged into it. M11rtinb (talk) 21:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Malchow concentration camp into Ravensbrück concentration camp. OR, sourcing, and notability. Camp was a sub-camp, and never went by the name 'Malchow.' Instead was located in town of Mecklenburg called Malchow, dating to 12th century. Stan94301 (talk) 02:45, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
-
- Oppose. Look again, better yet, withdraw this nomination due to possible error in judgement. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 07:19, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support. Strongly disagree with Poeticbent and thank you not to include POV in talk. Subcamps are not historically notable for their names, because they were not given names. See [[1]]. Very simple to observe that subcamps were redirected to the geographical areas where they were located, because the subcamps did not have proper names. Treatment of Malchow concentration camp nonstandard and nonperformant. Stan94301 (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Boons offered to Kaliyan into Kaliyan#Kali Claiming boons. Delibzr (talk) 02:56, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Mystery (pickup artist) into Erik von Markovik. Dwanyewest (talk) 21:52, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Music of Fruits Basket into Fruits Basket. Music of Fruits Basket is unsourced and will likely not gain significant coverage. Merging helps get rid of a non-notable topic without destroying its content. --Mr. Guye (talk) 22:19, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Blacks Harbour to Grand Manan Island Ferry with/into Coastal Transport Limited. There is significant overlap, and the latter is far more informative and factual. 69.196.166.132 (talk) 21:02, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- Merge List of Austrian Chancellors by longevity with/into List of Chancellors of Austria. The latter article covers the previous one Aight 2009 (talk) 17:05, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Pate sultanate and Pate Island, the former article is a mere stub and the latter needs more info RockmanYoshi (talk) 17:32, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- Merge China Movie Channel (organisation) and China Movie Channel, same thing. China Movie Channel used to be at CCTV-6, it's just another name. Timmyshin (talk) 03:04, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Manitoba Moose (2015–) into Manitoba Moose. The same franchise resumes its former location and identity, so it both iterations of the Manitoba Moose (as that one franchise) belong in that one article. Tom Danson (talk) 16:24, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Juan Manuel Alvarez to 2005 Glendale train crash. He is only known for causing the accident and most of the information on that article already exists in the train crash article. A discussion should probably be made first.
- Merge List of Major League Baseball career records with List of Major League Baseball record holders. The information present in the former is completely included in the latter. There is no need to keep two separate articles with one wholly containing the other. --WBritten (talk) 10:46, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- MergeList of most expensive association football transfers & World football transfer record both of them talking about the same topic which is transfer record and even one of them stop being updated since 2013 . and then both articles seem an extended edition for this section at this article [[2]] especially if you go down to the [[3]] so may you take a look at it please thank you Adnan (talk) 18:27, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

- Merge Boomerang (EMEA) into Boomerang (TV channel).--John123521 (Talk-Contib.) RA 08:32, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen of Romania (created in 2011) into Romanian royal family (created in 2006). Duplicate. I think the merged article should then be moved to Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen of Romania as a more appropriate name.--Zoupan 14:37, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Wild_Life_(Protection)_Amendment_Act,_2002 to Wildlife_Protection_Act,_1972, The amendment Wild_Life_(Protection)_Amendment_Act,_2002 which took place in 2002, is the part of the principle act Wildlife_Protection_Act,_1972 and the Wildlife_Protection_Act,_1972 article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Wild Life (Protection) Amendment Act, 2002 will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.Priyadarshivishal23 (talk) 12:02, 17 August 2015 (UTC)priyadarshivishal23

- Merge Greatest Remix Hits 1, Greatest Remix Hits 2, Greatest Remix Hits 3, Greatest Remix Hits 4 into Greatest Remix Hits (album series). Because 4 articles don't have enough sources (I mean, we can't keep those articles THAT short), and I don't think four albums have enough potential to stand alone.Beyoncetan (talk) 08:28, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

- Merge Barkam County into Barkam the county got upgraded into a county-level city which make the disambiguation useless as the city has precedence over the town which can be link to with a hatnote. — ASDFGH =] talk? 05:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Awaiting consensus[edit]
Once tagged, request should be added here. This section can also be used if an old proposal needs further discussion. We will attempt to get more people to comment on it.
- Merge Investigative Project on Terrorism into Steven Emerson. There is no such entity as the Investigative Project on Terrorism, and much of the information included in the current article belongs in an article under the actual organization which is The Investigative Project on Terrorism Foundation founded in April 2006. There is also a separate entity, The Investigative Project, and the Steven Emerson article where some of the information belongs. Everything is being lump summed under an invalid article.

- Merge Craig Hayes (special effects artist) with Craig Davies (designer), I made Craig Hayes (special effects artist) not realizing about the other has it had none of the links going to him, Craig Hayes is the name he goes by so maybe just a redirect to Craig Hayes be better then a merge. Wgolf (talk) 05:14, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Fantasy literature into Fantasy; Fantasy literature is a pretty small article, and its scope could easily be incorporated into Fantasy with a little expansion work. Both articles tagged and discussion started here. Pariah24 (talk) 08:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Merge MG Cars and MG Motor; There are two articles about the motoring brand MG - MG Cars and MG Motor. This causes confusion about a brand that is not defunct as the article MG Cars states. It is proposed that one article should be created named 'MG' with details about the brand - past and present. If there is too much information for one article, then 'The History Of MG' would be a suitable secondary article. The merger has so far not come up with a natural conclusion. See details here. Aldoturner (talk) 12:55, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Kollam Airport into Asramam Maidan; The two articles overlap in that they describe the same open space which once used to be a landing ground in the 1930s (not an airport, as claimed). I propose that the "airport article be merged into the history section of Asramam Maidan article in order to provide more accurate coverage of the topic. --Trinidade (talk) 16:11, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- Merge Recommendation letter into Employment reference letter. Both are frequently used interchangeably, and sources I've found are mixed, but slightly more say that a recommendation letter is a type of reference letter (a more specific version of a reference letter). Hustlecat do it! 04:43, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
- Merge three articles on man-eater animals. All three articles rely on a single source - a book by the hunter Kenneth Anderson who killed the animals himself. These have no dates and have possible WP:Copyvio problems.
- Merge Tiger of Mundachipallam into Tiger attack

- Merge Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago into Florida v. Zimmerman. I do not believe the sparse content here merits its own stand-alone article. All the info here can easily be merged with the Florida v. Zimmerman article without any losses. I am adding the merge proposal to this list because it needs attention from a broader audience than it has gotten. -- Veggies (talk) 20:04, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

- Merge Coney Island hot dog, Hot wiener, and Carolina style into Chili dog. I expect this proposed merge of several jealously-protected regional names for variations on very similar food items to be controversial on at least two of the pages. valereee (talk) 13:09, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Merge List of Via Rail routes into Via Rail. I think that it would fit nicely instead of the current setup, and the routes alone do not seem like a large enough article. Discussion at Talk:Via Rail#Merger proposal RES2773 (talk) 23:32, 17 June 2015 (UTC)RES2773
- Merge Hierarchy of roads into Street hierarchy. I think that both of the articles are about a similar topic and they have similar information. Bubby33 (talk) 14:00, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

- Merge Sam Hunter (TV series) into Hunted (TV series). Former article is about a proposed spin-off series that was never produced and is officially cancelled, rendering the article moot but the content should still be rolled into the latter article. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 14:49, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

- Merge Merton College, London into South Thames College. Merton College was merged with South Thames College in 2009 and no longer exists as a discrete entity. The continued existence of the Merton College page is potentially confusing and/or misleading, and since the current page is a stub, it can easily be flowed into the history section on the South Thames College page.Leahholmesstc (talk) 11:48, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Merge "Une Nuit A Paris" into The Original Soundtrack. Standalone article about an album track which contains no references and was never a single – should be merged into the article about the parent album. Richard3120 (talk) 17:38, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- Merge USA for Africa into "We Are the World". While the latter article is FA status, the USA for Africa article is entirely unsourced and apart from the lead consists of just two sections, an (incomplete) list of performers on "We Are the World", and the tracks on the accompanying We Are the World album. Both the "We Are the World" article and the We Are the World album article cover these two sections in far more detail, so there is no need for the separate USA for Africa article. Having just one article for "We Are the World"/USA for Africa would make it much easier to maintain. Richard3120 (talk) 02:49, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Health technology with Biomedical engineering This article doesn't look like it will improve and has many things to do with and things in the see also links in the Heath tech page. Lucasstar1 (talk) 17:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Why I Never Became a Dancer into Tracey Emin#Films. The film does not appear to meet notability on its own, and her other film work is adequately described in the section on her page. A few sentences about the film makes more sense than a separate article.JamesG5 (talk) 01:29, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
- Merge Vinyl floor tiles into Vinyl composition tile. Clearly duplicate pages, new one has some additional info but both not needed.JamesG5 (talk) 05:00, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
- Merge List of military occupations into List of territorial disputes. The lists are fundamentally the same, but the first is essentially a platform for editors with strong points of view about particular conflicts to cast one or another side of a conflict in a negative light. See the talk page for typical discussions among partisan editors. The merge is likely to be contested by these partisan editors, as "List of territorial disputes" is a much more neutral (and more accurate) description of the conflicts listed. --Ravpapa (talk) 17:10, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

- Merge Swear box into Swear jar, or vice versa. For the life of me, I don't know why these are separate articles since the container type seems trivial. But still, good stuff in each hence a real merge and not just a quick creation of a redirect. 72.251.118.168 (talk) 08:11, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
- Merge The_indigo_spell into The_Indigo_Spell (Conforming the article title to the capitalization of book titles (see MOS:CT)). Was going to move The_indigo_spell to The_Indigo_Spell myself, but the destination article is taken and is a simple redirect to the series. The best solution would be to delete The_Indigo_Spell and then move The_indigo_spell to the correct title. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 00:56, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Salawat(now redirected to Peace be upon him (Islam)) and Durood. Reason given: The articles seems to indicate that Salawat is Arabic of Durood. Also, sending Peace, Salutations, Blessings , etc on the Muhammad all usually refer to similar things, with some slight but significant difference in the meaning of the words. The difference comes in usage of different phrases. E.g.- one kind of phrase used after mentioning his name and another kind of phrase used in Salah. Rather a sub-topic should be used to mention the difference (Note: Naat is not used for this merger, which removed previous merge request) Verycuriousboy (talk) 12:22, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
