* <s>Merge [[Circle Me, Bert]] into [[Bert Blyleven]]. This is a meme based on Bert Blyleven's circling a fan in the stands during a Minnesota Twins game. It is mentioned in the Blyleven article, and I don't think it merits an article of its own.

* Merge [[Westfield Bondi Junction]],[[Westfield Burwood]],[[Westfield Eastgardens]],[[Westfield Hornsby]],[[Westfield Hurstville]],[[Westfield Miranda]],[[Westfield Mount Druitt]],[[Westfield Parramatta]],[[Westfield Penrith]], all into [[Westfields Shopping Centres in Australia]]. Individually these shopping centres are non-notable. Collectively they are an identifiable element of Retailing in Australia, and whilst they are notable within their own small community each could easily be a single section on a suburb/town page, and a similar single section on the proposed page [[Westfields Shopping Centres in Australia]]. Each current page contains very similiar lists of stores / outlets which are difficult to maintain as current. --[[User:GarrieIrons|Ga]][[User talk:GarrieIrons|rr]][[Special:Contributions/GarrieIrons|ie]] 23:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC) |

* Merge [[History of anarchism]] with [[Anarchism/historical]] and [[Origins of anarchism]]; this merge is likely to be controversial, in part because the NPOV is questioned on at least one of the articles. All three of the articles seem to address the same topic from different perspectives but with significant duplication of effort. --[[User:Vampyrecat|Vampyrecat]] 17:38, 6 August 2006 (UTC) |

Revision as of 12:18, 4 February 2007
This page is an incomplete list of proposed mergers. Anyone may list any article merger proposal here. This is optional, and 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.
Guidelines
In general, this page should be used primarily to solicit outside feedback regarding mergers (particularly those of a controversial nature), or assistance with difficult or complicated mergers. 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.
- Category mergers should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
- For a complete list of articles with current merger proposals, please see Category:Articles to be merged.
- If you need help with renaming or moving, consult Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page.
- For guidance on merging, consult the Integration WikiProject.
- Unmerge* Black History Month and Nigger. When searching about Black History Month facts, shouldn't redirect automatically.
Current listings
Please list new proposals at the top of this month's section. Sign each listing or comment by typing: ~~~~
February 2007
- Merge List of Sarawak Museum curators and Sarawak Museum Journal into the article Sarawak Museum. All three are currently small articles; the two proposed for merging are not capable of expansion and their content belongs naturally in the Museum article, which I would hope could be expanded later. Two comments on the Talk:Sarawak Museum support the merger. I would do it myself, but I am new to the merging process and don't want to upset anybody. Emeraude 21:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Trinny and Susannah into the articles Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine. The content of the article; Trinny and Susannah, is stated in the other two articles. Eagle Owl 20:07, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Eagle Owl
- Merge Ursa Major and Big Dipper. - 85.8.124.246 13:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Abbey Konowitch into Hollywood Records. The A.K. article contains info that mostly pertains to Hollywood Records and, given the controversy about allegations of sexual abuse at the company, I think its safer on a single article. --Robdurbar 09:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Merge CGPA into Grade (education). This would be logical as GPA already redirects to Grade (education). - Jvhertum 08:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
January 2007
Merge Discography of the New Radicals into New Radicals. Too small to deserve its own article.Done. Frédérick Lacasse 02:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)- Merge A Lie Agreed Upon, Part 1 into Deadwood (TV Series) - Article about Deadwood episode that should probably be merged into the main Deadwood article Elocina 12:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge echolocating shrew into shrew. A mere stub that doesn't look to have the potential to be anything more. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

- Merge GT_1300_Junior and Alfa_Romeo_GTA into Alfa_Romeo_Sprint_GT_(Veloce) article. Same car, just different versions of it. qwertytam 07:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Roberdin 00:00, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Stunner (cattle) into Captive bolt pistol - two articles on the same subject. Foxhill 22:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Lester James Peries and Lester James Peiris - two articles on the same person. Verify spelling. AFAIK the second one is the correct one, in spite of Google result numbers (17,000 vs. 172). Krankman 14:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Feathered headdress and War bonnet
- Merge Tityos and Tityas, who seem to be the same mythological person. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 11:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Merge a large part of President of the United States#Requirements for holding office into Natural-born citizenAshi Starshade 09:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)- Merge List of Bengali language authors with List of Bengali authors. Perhaps good to keep the former as a subset of the latter, since there are bengali authors who haven;t written in Bengali as well.Rumpelstiltskin223 04:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Closed rides and attractions into the various List of past... pages that already exist and are maintained by people familiar with each park. For example, List of past Epcot attractions, List of past Magic Kingdom attractions, etc. As a placeholder, perhaps simply listing all the different List of past... pages on the original page will suffice as a disambiguation page.SpikeJones 17:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

- Merge Road Rules: 360, Road Rules: Asia (2007), and Road Rules 14: California Adventure (2007) into Road Rules 2007: Viewer's Revenge. Several articles about the new season of Road Rules have been started by different editors; all content should be in the same article. --ALL IN 02:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Koniakow lace into Koniaków because Koniakow lace is the Polish version of Irish crochet, and would be more relevant in the Koniaków page. --Lmblackjack21 11:26, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Southland Mall and Southlands into Southland (all disambig. pages) to consolidate all of the info on similarly named content. Grhs126student 22:20, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Chang (surname) into Zhang (surname) as the content overlaps a good deal re 張. Fayenatic london 14:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Patria Jimenez to Patria Jiménez - they give the same basic information, and obviously, it's the same person, but the latter has the proper accent notation.
- Merge Acholi in Sudan to Acholi - same subject - Skysmith 12:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Perezhilton.com into Perez Hilton. Redirect first link to second. Same information, the person and his blog do not merit two seperate entries.
- Merge Motorbike Thailand into Economy of Thailand. I'm thinking about adding a brief sentence or two in the Economy of Thailand article about Thailand's motorbike industry. Sue H. Ping 20:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Britain's role in the 2001-present Afghan war into Operation Veritas and Operation Herrick as they are duplicate articles, leaving a disambiguation page. Hut 8.5 19:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Shrike (Stalker) into Shrike (Philip Reeve), or simply redirect. --Joe Decker 18:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Cutaneous anthrax and Inhalation anthrax and Woolsorters' disease into the main article on Anthrax. Alchemystical 18:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Erb-Duchenne palsy with Erb's palsy. They are the same. It will be better to name the final article 'Erb's palsy' as this term is more frequently used. Alchemystical 18:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Newark Arena to Prudential Center. Newark Arena has been renamed Prudential Center. Prudential Center previously was redirected to Prudential Tower. This request is to get the edit history of the Newark Arena article under the Prudential Center name. Milchama 14:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Internet Society Bulgaria to Internet Society - Bulgaria. The organization apparently has two pages here on Wikipedia. The one without the '-' was cited for copy edit and is not even the correct title of the group, as evidenced all over their homepage [1]. The category for Communications in Bulgaria should also be added to the Internet Society - Bulgaria's page. Crumnut 02:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Carousel In The Country into Robert B. Sherman. See Talk:Carousel In The Country for discussion. Please note that several very similar articles about other paintings by this person were subject to mandatory merge orders as per a recent afd discussion[2]. Please also see that discussion. Unfortunately I missed this particular painting out in the original afd nomination. Putting this notice here to generate consensus for the merge of the Carousel painting (one editor is opposing the Carousel merge despite the recent afd result) Bwithh 23:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge Motown Sound into Motown Records. See the Talk:Motown Records page for rationale. Vandelay 19:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

- LPI Media with PlanetOut Inc.. The latter bought the former and they've since merged (in reality).
- Probe Entertainment with Acclaim Cheltenham. Both are names of the same videogame studio. --Krótki 16:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge one sheet (film) back into movie poster. A one-sheet is a movie poster size/term, and this page is redundant and can be summarized as part of the main article with a single sentence. -Jca2112 01:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Merge Aapeli to Simo Puupponen. They are the same bloke. JIP | Talk 19:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)Merged. Lebroyl 18:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)- Merge Federal grant into the Federal grants and awards section of Federal assistance in the United States. -Mtmelendez 13:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge WordPress MU into WordPress. The WordPress MU article is very short and the two packages are essentially the same. No reason to have two articles. 66.226.105.98 05:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge WWA The Eruption, WWA The Inception, WWA The Reckoning, WWA The Revolution and WWA Retribution. Certainly notable pay-per-views but not notable enough have their own individual article. Normy132 11:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Insert non-formatted text here
December 2006
- Merge Daijō Tennō into Cloistered rule (exactly the same subject). Švitrigaila 23:16, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
MAZE:Bakunetsu Jikuu into Maze (anime) (the second one should be kept, it has a lot more information) - Same show, same ideas. The second has more information and is more useful.Prede 2:23 , 29 Decemeber (utc)- Merge Burma Star Association into Burma Star - Skysmith 12:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Energy Blue and Luna (theme) into a general article about theming provided by Microsoft for the theming system built into Microsoft Windows XP. Putting them into separate articles almost seems unnecessary when the Energy Blue also contains information about extra new themes Microsoft has created - Chris (Talk) (Contribs) 18:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Haditha killings and Haditha massacre. — ceejayoz talk 14:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Karl Schwarzschild Observatory and Thüringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg --217.230.201.183 18:19, 25 December 2006 (UTC)Merged Luneraako 23:19, 25 December 2006 (UTC)Merge Androgyne into Androgyny. They are the same subject - an Androgyne is a person who is Androgynous. Androgyny is the base term. --AliceJMarkham 06:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Merged --AliceJMarkham 22:47, 31 December 2006 (UTC)- Merge either Toyota Soarer to Lexus SC or vice versa as they are the same car.

Peterwhy 10:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Merged Peterwhy 05:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)- Merge United Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia into Colony of British Columbia - "British Columbia" was the name given to the united colony, and this period, described in a relatively short article, could be included as background context. Fishhead64 21:07, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge National University of Ireland (Dáil Éireann constituency) and National University of Ireland (UK Parliament constituency) into National University of Ireland (constituency). See talk--Henrygb 20:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Scaffolding Theory into Instructional scaffolding - duplication of content Jschwa1 13:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Prorogation into Parliamentary session. You can't have one without the other, and together they would be one start-class article rather than two stub-class ones. --Arctic Gnome 18:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Topspin with Top spin.Blue Leopard 14:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge William Winlock Miller High School and Olympia High School (Washington) because they are the same school. Either one would work as the page that got all the info, but Olympia High School would be better because that is the name everyone knows it as. WmCliff 23:25, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- Can someone please merge the history of Watermead Parish Council into Watermead, Buckinghamshire. I have merged the text, it just needs a history merge now. -- Roleplayer 16:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

- Merge Bingo (US) and Housie into Bingo. See discusion. Madeinsane 00:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Orion globe into Master of Orion, The topic of Orion globe does not merit an article of its own.193.217.242.140 23:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Merge articles International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust and 2006 Iran Holocaust Conference since they are the same conference.--Burzum 18:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge completed.--Burzum 06:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Merge essay There is No Deadline (created 2006-08-23) with The World Will Not End Tomorrow (created 2006-03-11). They sure seem to be about the same thing. BTW I used the Template:mergeto and Template:mergefrom templates, but they are linking to red-link pages. Error in usage? Please leave a note on my Talk page if you see what I did wrong. TIA.Resolved as per discussion with one of the authors. David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 00:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge stubs Meadowbank ferry wharf, Sydney and Rydalmere ferry wharf, Sydney into main Parramatta River ferry services, Sydney article. Each stub is in itself non-notable, and has little prospect for expansion. Joestella 15:31, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge stubs Balmain East ferry wharf, Sydney, Kirribilli ferry wharf, Sydney and McMahons Point ferry wharf, Sydney into main Inner Harbour ferry services, Sydney article. Each stub is in itself non-notable, and has little prospect for expansion. Joestella 15:31, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge 14 stubs (starting with Central MLR station, Sydney) covering stops on Sydney's Central-Lilyfield tram line into main Metro Light Rail network article. Each stub is in itself non-notable, and has little prospect for expansion. Joestella 12:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Inhumanity (reissue) into Inhumanity. The only differences are the album artwork and the track listing, both of which can be incorporated into the Inhumanity article. — Shinigami Kamenzi 20:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Merge Scott Air Force Base and MidAmerica St. Louis Airport. This is a dual use airport, both articles refer to the same airfield, the infoboxes are basically identical, and the FAA refers to them both as BLV. I'm not sure which name should be used, but Scott AFB came first and makes up most of the flights from the facility. --Dual Freq 18:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC)- Merge completed. --Dual Freq 23:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta with Knights Hospitaller - these two articles are about the same topic.
Merge Formosa (Goiás) and Formosa, Goiás - obviously the same topic. -- Achimh 14:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge KOTOR 2 items into Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The topic of KOTOR 2 items does not merit an article of its own. 193.217.242.140 14:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Freedom of speech (United States) into Freedom of speech in the United States. I'm not sure why we need two different articles. -- SilverStar★ 02:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Creolization into Creole language#Development of a creole language. The article needs some serious work, and as its really just a verbification (and the content is largely covered in the metioned section), I think it would be prudent to merge it. Gsnixon 12:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Brig into Brigantine. The fact that Brig and Brigantine are not synonymous does not justify a separate page for Brig if it is only a stub. Unless there is significant content that clearly delineates one type of ship from another, not just a slight modification of the masts and ship construction, then the articles belong together, not separately. Gohiking 19:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Nakatomi, Yamanashi and Shimobe, Yamanashi into Minobu, Yamanashi. Because in the Japanese site of Wikipedia, they merged both Shimobe (下部町) and Nakatomi(中富町) into Minobu (身延町) Example 1Example 2. BigBang19 10:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge All of Mexico Movement into Manifest Destiny. The Manifest Destiny article explains the "All Mexico" movement in much better detail in the "All Mexico" section.
- Merge Rate tart to Stoozing - same concept, the latter article has better style etc. - Mike Rosoft 12:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
November 2006
- Merge Genoism into Gattaca because genoism is a term used in the movie and has not gained significant usage outside of the film. 71.112.234.25 10:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Merge New Columbia into D.C. Statehood. Covers the same points and issues. Merger suggested a while back, but no discussion resulted. Rhindle The Red 16:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)Merged, not by me. Lebroyl 19:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)- Merge Johnson (disambiguation) into Johnson. Although the resulting page would be long it is probably more standard format for Surname dab pages. TonyTheTiger 17:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Merge RKO Pantages Theatre into Pantages Theatre (Hollywood). Duplication. The latter article uses the current name and contains more imformation. Redirect will be needed as well. Whyaduck 12:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)Merged. Lebroyl 19:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)- Merge Franked mail into Franking. The former is more US specific than the latter, but there is interesting history in the former. Rpresser 15:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Merge {{Infobox Football club2}} into {{Infobox Football club}} (to allow a third colour combination, with parser functions), per the deletion debate here Martinp23 12:50, 27 November 2006 (UTC)Merged, not by me. Lebroyl 19:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)Merge Template:OntarioProject to Template:Ontarioproject as they are the same template. --Deenoe 15:53, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Merged. Lebroyl 19:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)Merge Kenneth Richmond with Ken Richmond as they are the same person Geeness 14:39, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Merged, not by me. Lebroyl 19:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)Merge Natural Selection 2 into Natural Selection (computer game), since there isn't enough information to expand the article. -Methamphetamine 18:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Merged, not by me. Lebroyl 19:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)- Merge Most Holy Place, Holy of Holies, and Kadosh Hakadashim into one or two articles. If two articles, one would general and cross-religion and one would be religion-specific. Depending on overall scheme used, Holy of Holies (LDS) etc. might also need to be merged or renamed. --Shirahadasha 06:01, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Polled I/O into Polling (computer science). --Abdull 18:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Polling (computer science) and Busy waiting. --Abdull 00:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

- Merge Tri-state buffer and Three-state logic. --Abdull 19:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Communications cable into Transmission line#Practical types of electrical transmission line - The first article is the same as the second, albeit with a more common name. Foxhill 06:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Captaincy General of the Philippines into Spanish East Indies - The first article is just a subsection of the second. 23prootie 02:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Miami mafia into Drew Rosenhaus. The term "Miami mafia," as described in the article, refers to a Rosenhaus-centric group of University of Miami alumni who operate in the business arena of professional football. There seems to be little if any evidence that the term is used to describe this "secret" group. The same term is used, much more broadly and significantly, to describe stridently anti-Castro members of the Cuban exile community. Rolando 16:06, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Merge Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Same charity, but I'm not sure which is the more appropriate name. --Dual Freq 00:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Merged. Lebroyl 19:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)Merge Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming and Es ist ein Ros entsprungen - it's about the same christmas carol. --62.143.168.84 21:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)Merged. Lebroyl 19:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)- Merge Prefecture for the Pontifical Household and Prefecture of the Papal Household - it's about the same institution 85.94.131.65 16:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Raimo Kilpiö Trophy and Raimo Kilpiö trophy - these articles cover the same thing TaraO 13:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

- Merge Theatre de l’Academie Royale de Musique with Academie Royale de Musique into Academie Royale de Musique - these articles are on the same subject. Mrlopez2681 06:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Jutiapa, Jutiapa into Jutiapa. I think the second is the best name, without any other page with this name (except Jutiapa (department)). Zyxwvut-Bot 03:58, 9 November 2006 (UTC) for Hégésippe
- Merge Mazatenango, Suchitepéquez into Mazatenango. I think the second is the best name, without any other page with this name. Zyxwvut-Bot 02:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC) for Hégésippe
- Merge Little Rock Crisis into Little Rock Nine - they cover the same material, but the former is really light on details. Rlaager 03:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Sarah Fisher (Splinter Cell) and Sarah Burns (Splinter Cell) - both a ficitonal character from Splinter Cell (about which I know nothing), presumably the same one, presumably she's changed her name during her life. What do I know? What do I care? --Dangherous 14:17, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Christian evangelist scandals and List of chruch scandals into Category:Religious scandals. They're triplicate listings in many instances. Zz414 00:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge GPGPU with Stream processing, or delete the former and/or create a subsection within the latter - GPGPU is a subset within the technology "Stream Processing." Sahrin 15:14, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Setaside with Set-aside, or perhaps delete the former which is an inferior duplicate. Ben MacDui 09:48, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Begum Nawazish Ali with Ali Saleem; a lot of what is contained within the article Begum Nawazish Ali seems to apply to Ali Saleem, the performer who plays the character of Begum Nawazish Ali. Either this article should be merged into Ali Saleem, or the article should be re-written to focus more on the character of Begum Nawazish Ali. QazPlm 07:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Ancestor worship with Veneration of the dead; the latter is a broader term which encompasses things which are not specifically "worship" (something some religions have a problem with for non-deities). -- nae'blis 04:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Abraham Lincoln in fiction with Cultural depictions of Abraham Lincoln: the later seems to encompass the former. --YankeeDoodle14 02:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Juticalpa with Juticalpa, Olancho: same subject, but I don't know what is the best name for the final article (it seems that there is no other place with that name, but I'm not sure). Zyxwvut-Bot 04:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC) for Hégésippe
Merge Horseblock Road with County Route 16 (Suffolk County, New York), because most of Horse Block Road is part of Suffolk CR 16, and because "Horse Block" is two words, not one. DanTD 14:47, 3 November 2006 (UTC)Merged sometime in January 2007, but not by me. --DanTD 18:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)- Merge Abusive relationship with Relational aggression because they're both the same.

*Merge List of Torchwood supporting characters with List of Torchwood villains, while these may later develop into a large article that requires splitting at the moment there is not enough info to justify the articles being separate. --GracieLizzie 00:01, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merged to List of Torchwood minor characters. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge much of the content found in Weight training into Strength training, with links and clarification to Resistance training in the sense of elastic resistance. Strength training is the most comprehensive title for all types of muscular strength training. See Talk:Strength training for discussion. WLU 23:56, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Grappenhall and Thelwall. They are a single parish and ward, with population and census statistics available only for the two villages together. See discussion for more. Robnpov 19:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge 2006 Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed assassination attempt into Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed. Very little information in the source article that isn't already in the destination article. Hut 8.5 19:14, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge The Punisher (arcade game) with Punisher computer and video games. There is very little information on the arcade game page, most of which is about the Punisher himself and not the game, and the page could be easily intergrated into the page that already covers games starrign The Punisher. I have already copied most of the information on the page to the other page anyway. User:HanzoHattori disagrees and seems to think the article warrents its own page and keeps removing the merger tag. (Animedude 09:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC))
- Merge Hospitality and Tourism Management with Hospitality management. I'm not an expert on either subject, but the two appear to be covering the same discipline that goes by different names. 128.210.86.227 01:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Spriting into Pixel Art. Most things needed to be added to the Spriting article are already in Pixel art. Maybe give spriting a section in Pixel Art? 71.131.226.160 04:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Károly Khuen-Héderváry into Dragutin Karoly Khuen-Héderváry. Information in the latter article reveals that they are about the same person; (But the first name in the latter should be changed; Karoly -> Károly; the acute accent shouldn't be omitted if used in the surname.) --Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 22:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge John Deere Breeders' Cup Turf into Breeders' Cup Turf. They are the exact same race. Mkyanksfan 23:27, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Evolution denial into Creation-evolution controversy. The former a very short, somewhat poorly written stub with little or no original information. There has been a general consensus among all users except for the creator of the article. Tschel 23:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge many into Character class (Dungeons & Dragons). The entire group of articles are mirrored from the games SRD. shadzar|Talk|contribs 16:11, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Ukrainian Revolution of 1918 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to Makhnovism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views): the former is a copy-paste duplicate of the latter. —Michael Z. 2006-10-24 19:58 Z
- Merge Madame LaLaurie to Delphine LaLaurie. Both articles are about the same person; the latter is longer and more detailed. 75.34.64.200 16:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge makkara to sausage. Makkara (a Finnish word meaning simply "sausage") is really not that different from common-or-garden sausages. Most Finns don't even acknowledge any special quality which would distinguish between makkara and other kinds of sausages. JIP | Talk 17:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Portal:Forums and Portal:Internet Forums. They both cover the same territory, and it is clear one is redundant. Personally, I see the latter as having the better, or at least less ambiguous, name. Badbilltucker 14:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merge spiritual enlightenment into moksha. Spiritual enlightenment was originally a redirect to moksha, until in March 2006 a user whose only edits were to that article and People of Leather Among You (a Christian BDSM organisation, since deleted), and who hasn't edited anything in over half a year. Since then, spiritual enlightenment has only had completely trivial edits, most of them only test edits. The material should be merged into moksha, or removed altogether. JIP | Talk 06:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- There has been a proposal to merge Rudolf Steiner's views on race and ethnicity into Rudolf Steiner. The former, however, is already an unusually long article on its own. It does not belong as a whole inside a much broader article. Discuss at Talk:Rudolf Steiner's views on race and ethnicity#merging Hgilbert 18:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
*I propose to merge First clinical syndrome into Medical student syndrome. According to the article, "First clinical syndrome" is a form of medical student syndrome with some small differences (It only occurs in India and only affects students during the first clinical cycle). It seems to be a subtype of medical student syndrome, since it fits inside the same description, with small differences (which don't seem to warrant having two separate articles with almost the same information).--164.77.84.202 21:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC). The "merge suggestion" tag in the article was deleted by one of the users who oppose the merge. Resolved.
*Propose to merge Department of Political Studies (Auckland, New Zealand) into University of Auckland. The department is not significant by itself, and is part of a much wider university. Hence I propose merger the department's page into the universities page. Discuss at Talk:University of Auckland#Proposed merger --Midnighttonight remind to go do uni work! 03:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC) - page deleted
- Propose to merge Ticonderoga class aircraft carrier into Essex class aircraft carrier. The building of both type overlaps. The Essex class usually describes both the short-hull (Essex) and long-hull (Ticonderoga) variants, with little difference between the two othet than length. As such, there is consideralble overlap between the two articles, and neither article is that long. Post war, some of both types underwent the same types of modifications (such as receiving angled deck), while others of both types remained unmodified. Most historical assessments deal with the entire history of both types together. Discuss at Talk:Essex class aircraft carrier. -BillCJ 05:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- Micromanagement and Micromanagement (computer gaming) are both mainly about the later variant. Either separate the articles clean or (the business part seems rather short) make it one article. -- 85.116.203.195 09:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- No need to do that. The computer gaming -related material was already moved from Micromanagement to Micromanagement (computer gaming). JIP | Talk 11:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Propose to merge Ain't it Funny (Murder Remix) into Ain't It Funny. The former article is about a specific version of song in the latter article. I do not think the information in each article is substantial enough to justify them being split up, furthermore people looking for information on the song might be confused by there being (at least) two articles about it. Chsf 20:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Propose to merge Nasadiya Sukta into Bharat Ek Khoj. The former presents absolutely no information that is not in the former, and looks rather unprofessional as well. 134.84.33.72 20:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Propose to merge Weight training and Resistance training because of the overlap of subject matter and the small size of the resistance training article. Brad T. Cordeiro 02:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Propose to merge Hvar and History of Hvar Island. This latter does a better job of presenting some aspects already mentioned in the former. Hald-1-contrib 17:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Propose to merge Milk fetishism and Erotic Lactation. This appears to be an attempt to move selected contents from the older article to a new one. May need help to prevent a dispute. Robotman1974 21:10, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Propose to merge St. Columba's College, Dublin with St Columba's College. The two pages discuss the same school and have very similar information. Perhaps one should be changed to a redirect. Thanks. - Pongo489 10:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Propose to merge Electromagnetic therapy into Magnetic therapy. This merge was performed once before, but was reverted and is currently disputed on Talk:Magnet therapy. Regardless of the merit of electromagnetic therapy vs. magnetic therapy, they are closely related and do not warrant separate articles. johnpseudo 19:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- It would be nice to merge but currently I see some disputes with confussing certain POVs. On one hand their appears to be some strong skepticism against magnet therapy but on the other hand electromagnetic therapy is used by physiotherapy and some cancer treatment. I think it would be wise to keep them seperate for these reasons nevertheless suggestions to try and resolve this problem would be appreciated. On the other hand, (just off the top of my head), I think I remember someting saying that magnet therapy and electromagnetic therapy is about the same thing. But the quote went like this "Electromagnetic therapy, also known as electromagnetism, bioelectricity, magnetobiology, magnetic field therapy and magnetic healing, applies electromagnetic energy to the body to treat disease." Unfortunatelly I don't see any sourced relationship between both. Putting all this wiki rule stuff asside... and the possibility to confuse what appears to be two different methodes of delivering an electrogmatic field. I admit it would be nice to have something comprehensive yet non-conflicting that could encopass all of these. --CyclePat 00:27, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- This is a terrible merge since it puts the more general article as a section in the less general article. There has been plenty of opposition on the talk page. Don't do it. ObsidianOrder 19:02, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. The merge proposal above says Magnetic therapy but that is just a redirect to Magnet therapy. Also the merge I undid was to Magnet therapy. The two are not the same: "magnet" means just permanent magnets (typically worn close to the body for extended periods), "magnetic" would encompass any EM field, however produced, the main active component of which is magnetic. ObsidianOrder 20:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- I second that proposition makes sense. Plus we could put topography EMF scanning. --CyclePat 22:38, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

- Propose to multiple-merge Anoxic sea water, Oxygen minimum zone, and Hypoxic zone into Hypoxia (environmental). This is part of an ongoing process to rationalise all the anoxia and hypoxia articles, see disambiguation page at Hypoxia, which would benefit from some simplification. Aim is to resolve Hypoxia into hypoxia (medical) and hypoxia (environmental) Ex nihil 05:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

- Double-entry accounting system to Double-entry bookkeeping system Someone (a sock puppet) split off the article and changed all the redirections. I only discovered it now. See the Discussion in Double-entry bookkeeping system for agreed name. Double-entry accounting system should only be a redirection, all the text in its article is taken from the Double-entry bookkeeping system article. All the redirections as listed in the discussion section should also be redirected. There are probably many other redirections messed up. --NilssonDenver 21:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

- Assisted living and Retirement home. I don't think there's much difference between the two. --CliffC 12:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not entirely sure, but I vaguely suspect that many people in assisted living communities would be quite irate and offended to hear they were living in a retirement home. It may be true that in practise that the precise place where you draw the line between which is which may be difficult to draw; nevertheless, the question of what title to put the merged article should prove to be quite thorny. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 19:21, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
* Nintendo NSider Forums into nintendo - the reason is that the forums is part of Nintendo.com, which was merged into nintendo. I don't think the Nintendo NSider Forums have enough relaible info either. Starmenclock 19:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Gay Porn Studios into List of pornographic movie studios - so far there is just me and one other person (who opposes the merge) debating the topic (although his debate usually just involves removing the merge tag). The List of pornographic movie studios page is a list of all pornographic movie studios. Having another page branch off of it is unneccesary. My plan is to merge the first page into the second and format the list as the heterosexual studios are. See User:Stoneice02/Studio for a preview of what I believe the page should look like (I didn't include the full gay list because it requires some time that I don't want to spend until the merge is approved). Stoneice02 01:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)- Fuel mixture into Air-fuel ratio - the former doesn't have much linking to it, and the latter is more established on Wikipedia.

- Form 8-K and Form 8k - it looks like the former is more in line with naming conventions of other pages (i.e. Form 10-K). Shorelander 03:40, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Administrative receivership and Administrative Receivership. The latter should die in favour of the former, to comply with MoS on capitalisation. Unfortunately, expert attention is needed to since insolvency practice is a very specialist aspect of law, with different practice in different jurisdictions. --Concrete Cowboy 21:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

- Section d'Or and Puteaux Group. Both articles are about the same group of artists: la Section d'Or, a group based in Puteaux, mostly refered to as Section d'Or --Playtime 15:02, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Upanishad and Criticism of Upanishads. Suggesting a merge of these two articles seems to be an extremely contentious issue, as two editors consistently remove the merge template every few hours. They claim precedent for two articles in Criticism of the Bible, but contrary to their claims, a criticism section does exist at Bible. I'd appreciate some more traffic at the talk page.
- hammered dulcimer and psaltery... in the first page's discussion there are propositions for merge with dulcimer or with cymbalum, that are completely different instruments... while "psaltery" is exactly the same thing (notice that in many languages they have the same name, and in English the choice between the words "psaltery" and "hammered dulcimer" usually depends only from the geographic location or from use - picking strings or hitting with small hammers).

- Gilligan's Island (video game) and The Adventures of Gilligan's Island. IMDb only lists one game, both articles claim they were made within two years, the former links to a page about a game with the same name as the latter. VolatileChemical 18:59, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

- Christian Science and Church of Christ, Scientist. These two articles have considerable overlap and should be either merged or reorganized into non-overlapping articles. Church of Christ, Scientist seems to be the better written and organized of the two. I'm happy (given time) to do the reorganization but would expect some push-back.

- David Copperfield (character) and David Copperfield (novel). David Copperfield (character) refers to the main character of David Copperfield (novel). As the main character is fictional and the book acts as a biography, any information that is relevant to the main character is relevant to the book. As the article stands now, it is simply a rehash of the plot that already exists in the novel article.

- Merge John Prescott: Contentious events into John Prescott. Material was recently removed on the grounds of excessive article size (although even with the expunged material, the overall article length was around ~34 kb; cf, for example, Tony Blair, at ~>80 kb). Consensus was not established, and a recent AfD on John Prescott: Contentious events (where 'Merge and redirect' was not accepted as an option) provided significant support for a merge. The current situation poses significant POV problems for both articles. Badgerpatrol 00:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

It is mentioned in the Blyleven article, and I don't think it merits an article of its own. It has been a tiny stub for more than two years, and there is very little room for expansion without copious amounts of original research. Kafziel 03:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)Merge taken place.- Merge Westfield Bondi Junction,Westfield Burwood,Westfield Eastgardens,Westfield Hornsby,Westfield Hurstville,Westfield Miranda,Westfield Mount Druitt,Westfield Parramatta,Westfield Penrith, all into Westfields Shopping Centres in Australia. Individually these shopping centres are non-notable. Collectively they are an identifiable element of Retailing in Australia, and whilst they are notable within their own small community each could easily be a single section on a suburb/town page, and a similar single section on the proposed page Westfields Shopping Centres in Australia. Each current page contains very similiar lists of stores / outlets which are difficult to maintain as current. --Garrie 23:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- List already exists List_of_Westfield_Group_shopping_centres_in_Australia Is merger rqd? The pages are quite large, notable or not, and merging them together would make the resultant page huge.xCentaur | talk 12:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Merge History of anarchism with Anarchism/historical and Origins of anarchism; this merge is likely to be controversial, in part because the NPOV is questioned on at least one of the articles. All three of the articles seem to address the same topic from different perspectives but with significant duplication of effort. --Vampyrecat 17:38, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Inhibited sexual desire with Sexual arousal disorder, or at least explain what how those two can be differentiated. --Abdull 13:03, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge Lake Chagan into Chagan (nuclear test). The lake exists and is known only because of the test. The lake's identity is thus inseparable from the test. Because of the test, the lake is too radioactive to become known for anything else (diving, anyone?) and is thus unlikely to get a separate identity. Current content greatly overlaps. --Thatnewguy 05:26, 6 August 2006 (UTC)Merge taken place.- Merge Object Subject Verb with Object Agent Verb; merge Object Verb Subject with Object Verb Agent. I cannot see the difference between the two, and somebody deliberately copy back the contents from ASV and AVS back to OSV and OVS as an opposition to the moving. As a result, the articles diverged. If there was any discussion about the moving, they shall appear in somewhere of the discussion pages of the articles. In additional, somebody shall tell the readers about the different between the two. -- Tomchiukc 04:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge MAIBTYBILP into Internet Slang. The acronym does not need its own article. --Shaymus22 03:00, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Merge taken place?Merge Kira Aso and Rei Kashino into Mars (manga). The amount of information on each character does not seem to be sufficient for a separate page. Shikan 05:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)Merge taken place.- Merge Emil Dechebal Matasareanu into North Hollywood shootout. It has a subset of the info, and no biographical info. 70.66.9.162 10:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge Long Beach Jam into Bakersfield Jam. --MC Snowy 21:22, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Merge taken place.Merge John Latouche and John Treville Latouche. There are some disagreements (such as date and place of birth) where it is not clear which is correct. But it's obvious that both refer to the same person. -- BRG 14:47, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Merge taken place.- Merge Toybota and Dampervan in to the Top Gear article or the article related to the presenters who created the vehicles Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond respectivly.--Lucy-marie 11:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge Pan-aryanism into Aryan race - long, detailed discussion at Talk:Pan-aryanism. Darkskin 07:14, 2 August 2006 (UTCMerge taken place.- Merge Ixbalanque and Hun-Apu into Maya Hero Twins --82.141.92.147 02:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge Ectopic Shapeshifting Penance-propulsion into De-loused in the comatorium. Zopwx2 20:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Merge taken place (?)Merge Non-profit organization, Non-governmental organization, and Private voluntary organization. The distinction between these is so subtle that it should be a section on a merged page, not separate pages. David Bornstein in Massive Change claims they refer to the same thing. Vagary 19:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Partial merge taken place but all resolved.- Merge dystrophy, muscle atrophy and muscle weakness. The terms are related, and the articles all quite short, especially the first, since details for specific variations are found on other pages. --nkayesmith 02:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Community-supported/unopposed merger proposals
* Merge Cup of the Alps with Coppa delle Alpi. -Lemmy 12:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Second Life of Dr. Mirage with Doctor Mirage, almost identical information about a short run of comics. --Impulse 04:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge J. Peter Lesley with John Peter Lesley. Uncertainty predominates in regards to his first name. He may have named himself "John" after he reached adulthood. Superslum 11:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Public Address with Sound reinforcement system. I can't find the time to do it myself, tho it seems fairly straightforward. Martijn Hoekstra 21:31, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge at least most of Syndactyly into Dactyly. The former reads as if it should be at the latter title (it starts "In zoology, dactyly is...") and has lots of interesting information that is not relevant to the concept of syntactyly itself. Hairy Dude 18:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Saffuriya with Tzippori/Sepphoris. These are the Arabic, Hebrew and Greek names of the same site, despite attempts by the authors of the Tzippori page to claim otherwise. Please see: 1) discussion between Kathleen Christison (theology expert) and Benny Morris (Israeli historian)at [5], and this brief from archaeologist Leroy Waterman in 1931[6]. Tiamut 08:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
*Merge Politicians of Croatian ancestry, Foreign Croatian Politicians, and World Politicians of Croatian ancestry, These three pages appear to be virtual duplicates of each other. --TommyBoy 19:27, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox Ferry and Template:Infobox Ship, near duplicates. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 22:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Wildcats v2 into Wildcats (comics). The main entry covers volumes one through three of the series; there's no reason for volume two to get an article to itself. Gabriel Roth 07:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Environmental design into Sustainable design, writing a new article for the former. Currently, the former is described as synonymous with the latter, which is actually a neologism (albeit a widespread one). An entirely different normantive meaning (also widespread) for "Environmental design" already exists, which is not given any coverage in its current article.Skybum 18:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Condensed matter physics and Solid-state physics, this has been proposed for some time with no conclusion. This is about the article merge not the categories merge. Rex the first talk | contribs 23:56, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Geosynchronous orbit and Geostationary orbit - Discussed and generally approved in 2004, but never implemented. --GW SimulationsTalk | Contribs | E-mail 14:39, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hypernova is a very loose term, but it is produced by the much more well-defined object,collapsar. It would be made more obvious that they are the same thing if they were part of the same article (collapsar would be the more sensible choice to keep). Sharkbait784 15:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ancient Egyptian multiplication and Peasant multiplication. Egyptian multiplication redirects to the latter already; the mathematical technique discussed is identical. The Dogandpony 15:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Template:Middle Eastern deities and Template:Meso myth, I believe should be merged as there is significant overlap, but I would like to see some discussion first. Harvestdancer 16:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- Quarter mile into dragstrip, lots of overlap. Cdh1984 12:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Constant random variable and Degenerate distribution describe the exact same thing. Btyner 18:28, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Wikipedians North America and Category:Wikipedians in North America. It makes more sense as a category, and the two are currently not linked in any way.
- Ruputer into OnHand PC same products. RadioActive 13:47, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Voice organ and Phonation. I don't know which way to merge - the latter is the better article but the former is a more familiar term. -- Djbb2 19:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Having read Phonation, I think they should either be left seperate or phonation merged into voice organ, as the second includes the first. I'm no expert, though...Djbb2 19:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Biogeographic Regions into Ecozone — failing to see why these articles concern distinct enough topics to be separate (207.233.110.65 22:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC))
Merger proposals presently under debate
- Merge Joseph Gatehau, Reigan Derry, Klancie Keough, Guy Mutton, Lavina Williams, Bobby Flynn, Lisa Mitchell, Ricky Muscat, Chris Murphy (Australian singer), Dean Geyer, Jessica Mauboy, and Damien Leith to Australian Idol 2006. The articles I want merged are all otherwise non-notable contestants in one of those music talent game shows. There's a discussion on the article's talk page. JDtalk 08:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge MSN Messenger to Windows Live Messenger. - both Microsoft products, arguably the same product line. Controversial as talk page and article history indicates. Greater community feedback is appreciated. Luke! 21:40, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Abandonia Reloaded and Abandonia. I suggested before that the former be deleted, as it seems to be a spin-off site of the latter that does not seem to qualify under WP:WEB. It seems to have been kept due to a flood of users of the site coming to Wikipedia to defend it after being asked to in a forum thread on their site. However, as the latter extensively meets the requirements for notability, I now propose that a better action would be to cut unnecesary bits from Abandonia Reloaded and merge it with Abandonia until the former meets WP:WEB. Sephylight 10:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree. Abandonia focusses on a whole different segment than Abandonia Reloaded (abandonware vs freeware), so it functions a lot better as it's own article. Braindead1 07:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- Opposed per Braindead. Also, regardless of a "flood of users from the site," only one of the participants in the AfD discussion seems to be a single purpose account. Furthermore, it seems to me that if the article wasn't merged (or deleted) as a result of the AfD discussion, there is no reason to continue proposing it directly afterwards. Again, WP:WEB is a guideline, not an absolute. Taikara | Talk 13:37, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Islamic apartheid into Gender apartheid as the former article is entirely about the latter topic and even uses the term "gender apartheid". The latter term is in wider use.Homey 03:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Residual sum of squares, Sum of squares, and Total sum of squares into Least squares. You might consider combining them with Regression analysis, but RA can be performed with methods other than least squares. --DanielPenfield 00:46, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Big-game hunter with Hunting. Ratarsed 09:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Floral Park Memorial High School, New Hyde Park Memorial High School, Elmont Memorial High School, H. Frank Carey Junior/Senior High School, and Sewanhaka High School are, like most school articles, fairly non-notable and major cruftmagnets; they should be merged into Sewanhaka Central High School District. Paul 19:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
- Framing (communication theory) and Framing (psychology) should probably be merged; there was already a corresponding proposal on the talk pages, but apparently no-one felt competent to carry it out. Loaded language should also be considered, as it appears to be pretty much the same thing. The discussion is at Talk:Framing (communication theory). Joriki 06:47, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Binion's Horseshoe and Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel. The same casino, just under different ownership. A section detailing the history and current status in one article should suffice. ⇔ EntChickie 04:19, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge 2014 Winter Olympic bids into 2014 Winter Olympics. Same subject & material. --Rehnn83 14:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Thomas Lowell Tucker and Kristian Menchaca into one article. These were two US Army soldiers who were captured during an attack in Iraq and killed. TomTheHand 21:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Messier Object 102 into Spindle Galaxy in Draco These two pages are both stubs and cover the same issue. WilliamKF 23:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Female suicide bomber into Suicide attack. There is nothing in the former that cannot be comprehensively covered in a general article Chancemill 11:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect and Protect Sidhoji Rao Shitole to Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath. No need to merge, as YGS already has the same content plus some. Rationale: According the WP:Manual of Style for biographies, the article should go to the name by which the subject is most commonly known (Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath according to 2580 Ghits). The given-name article (20 Ghits) was up for AfD, but Stifle (talk · contribs) closed it [7] in order to resolve this issue here. -- Hamsacharya dan 00:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose - there is currently a concensus that Sidhoji Rao Shitole should be moved to replace Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath in order in end a content dispute. The requested move survey results can be found at Talk:Sidhoji Rao Shitole#Requested move. Hamsacharya dan has repeatedly tried to override concensus and even moderation as documented at Requests for comment/Hamsacharya dan. Please implement the concensus. —Hanuman Das 15:18, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

- Institute for Religion and Democracy into Institute on Religion and Democracy same think tank. --Rtc 15:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- Depersonalization disorder into Depersonalization—they both describe the same disorder in slighly different ways. They could possibly be made more separate, but each has so little content that I'm in favor of merging them. --Tifego 04:47, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Landau notation and Big O notation. Both articles say they are sometimes called by the other's name. --Abdull 14:40, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- List of lifestyles into List of subcultures. Quite a lot of overlap here. Kevinmooney 01:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Pro-life into Anti-abortion, then turn pro-life into a redirect to anti-abortion. The latter is more accurate and NPOV. I am also requesting that Pro-choice be moved to Pro-abortion. --Cyde Weys votetalk 19:43, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Seems iffy, but I think it could work. If possible, I'd like to assist with the categorization. -ZeroTalk 18:29, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- Not workable. All four terms mean different things. Not every "pro-choice" person is "pro-abortion". Not every "anti-abortion" person agrees with the political aims of "Pro-Life" campaigners. The terms all have different nuances. "Pro-choice" and "Pro-life" are political stances based on a set of values, often based on secular versus religious beliefs. "Pro-Abortion" and "Anti-abortion" refer to stances on a specific issue. Holding pro- or anti- views on abortion doesn't necessarily mean one is attached to or even supportive of the political campaigns and perspectives underlying the "Pro-choice" and "Pro-life" tags.

- Shouldn't all the lawsuits on the Lowell page be on the San Francisco Unified School District page instead, since they're NAACP v. San Francisco Unified School District, Ho v. San Francisco Unified School District, and the Consent Decree applies to ALL schools in the San Francisco Unified School District, not just Lowell? --69.106.248.138 18:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Foreign relations between Japan and China & Sino-Japanese relations: I've unmerged these two because the previous merge was a simple copy-&-paste job, with no consideration of the content (How can the "Concluding Remarks" be in the middle and above the Table of Contents ?). Need someone familiar with the topic to incorporate the materials into one article that flows properly. -- PFHLai 14:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
