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 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).
- 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 not be honored.
NEW REQUESTS
- Merge ESPNU College Football, ESPN College Football Thursday Primetime, and ESPN College Football Saturday Primetime, into ESPN College Football to declutter everything and reduce overlap. 100.7.36.213 (talk) 21:48, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Merge List of ESPN College Football personalities into List of ESPN College Football broadcast teams. Honestly, I don't think having these separate is necessary. I also think there's a bit of overlap and redundancy here, but it's possible that might be just me. 100.7.36.213 (talk) 21:48, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Merge M3 (Canadian TV channel) into CTV Life Channel so that Gusto TV can be free to create a new article on that subject. M3 TV became Gusto which became CTV Life Channel but Gusto TV still exists.musimax. (talk) 17:58, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
AWAITING CONSENSUS
After all involved articles are tagged for merger discussion, the request should be added at (or moved 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: Alan Sparhawk into Low (band). Proposer's Rationale: The information in the Sparhawk article is pretty much all covered in the band article. This is an unneeded redundancy / duplication. Discussion is >>>HERE<<<. GenQuest "scribble" 19:27, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

- Merge New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal (Law Enforcement Conduct Commission investigations) and New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal (Freedom of Information releases) into New South Wales Police Force strip search scandal; dated: 02/22. One scandal does not merit three articles, but apparently a simple redirect is no longer an option. Sumanuil 00:46, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

- Merge Draft:Midnight Society (game studio) into Dr Disrespect. I have cited many sources and included as much information as I could into the draft. It was unfortunately rejected due to not being notable enough to be it's own article in Wikipedia. MikeTimesONE 11:27, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

- Merge I think Advergame and Adver-game AKA Advertising in video games should merge under Advertising in video games. Wouldn't be better if in-game advertising and advergames were under the Advertising in video games title? ZeusAmmon1 (talk) 17:13, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- @ZeusAmmon1: Could you please clarify whether you are only proposing to merge Advergame into Advertising in video games or whether you also propose to merge In-game advertising there? And could you provide a clear rationale for this proposal? Felix QW (talk) 18:48, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- All wikipedia pages refers to same(or mostly same) things, it could be merged under one title. Otherwise they will mainly means same things and eventually at least one of them will become directly duplicate page. ZeusAmmon1 (talk) 06:24, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

- Merge Flextiles into Champions (role-playing game). The former is an expansion for the latter game. Flextiles is a very short article with just one reference. It could straightforwardly be turned into a section of the Champions article. Ascendingrisingharmonising (talk) 15:29, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

- Merge Paximadaki, Dragonada, Paximadia and Gianysada into Dionysades. All of the island articles are extremely short, are part of the same group of islands the target article is about, and it has empty slots for each island that the contents of their articles can easily be added to. 2603:7000:2601:B81:1490:C723:D373:1F04 (talk) 16:13, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

- Merge Filmography of environmentalism into List of environmental films. They basically duplicate each other.

- Merge Hong Kierkegaard Library to St. Olaf College. The library is already mentioned in the St. Olaf article. I think, given the information available about the library, it does not warrant a standalone page. Happyecheveria (talk) 23:13, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
- Merge : I propose merging Object theory into Object language, as the former article is based around a grave misunderstanding of the latter - it seems somebody had confused the phrase "object theory" for being a distinct area of mathematics, rather than merely a theory (in the sense of Model theory) which is the object of a metatheory (in the sense of Object language). Some authors will use the phrases "object language" and "object theory" synonymously, whereas others will only use the former term in reference to the underlying language of the object theory, absent of rules of inference or axioms - in either case, it certainly isn't whatever the author of Object language seems to be suggesting.

- Merge: I propose merging British National (Overseas) passport into British National (Overseas) and British passport. The BN(O) passport article has significant overlap with the other two. Background information for the status itself is covered in great detail in the main BN(O) article. Information like endorsements, physical appearance, and issuance are all dealt with in the British passport article. Given that almost the entire BN(O) passport article duplicates information already detailed in the other two articles, I feel that it should be considered for merging. Additionally, the article contains entire sections that are uncited or very poorly cited and contains non-free images (all UK passport images continue to be covered under Crown copyright).

- Merge Ophiuchus Supercluster eruption to either Ophiuchus Supercluster or NeVe 1#Eruption section. The article was hastily prepared two years ago out of a hot news on the topic.

- Merge Talk:List of text-based massively multiplayer online role-playing games into Talk:List of massively multiplayer online role-playing games. I've already merged the text-based article into the latter list as users on both talk pages have proposed in the past. I expected no objections so I was WP:BOLD and just performed this merger myself immediately. However, it's probably useful to merge the talk pages as well, even if the text-based talk page has barely been edited in 11 years, because it could still be useful for others to read in the future, and they probably won't know these comments can be found on the talk page of the redirect. I'm not sure how to do this, I could copypaste it all or cut and paste it all, but maybe there is a better way of chronologically merging them? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:44, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- I just added a merged from tag to Talk:List of massively multiplayer online role-playing games explicitly pointing out that discussion might be found on the talk page of the source article. That normally suffices. Felix QW (talk) 08:02, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- Merge Roman Festival Liberalia into Liberalia. They are the same topic. The first is by far the longest but also the most recently created (on 3 December 2020 by User:Kswizzy42, a student editor at Western Washington University). The second is quite short but much older (2005) so I presume more articles directly link to it. It doesn't look like the student editor's contributions were thoroughly checked by their supervisor. I attempted a merge notice on each article, but I found the whole process very confusing. I'm willing to rewrite both articles as one, as the topic is well within my usual purview.
