*[[Maurie Sheehy]] and [[Patrick Sheehy]]. These are the same person. Maurie Sheehy was an Australian Rules footballer who played for [[Collingwood Football Club]] in the 1910s. The same person, referred to as Patrick Sheehy, became a member of the Parliament of Victoria, Australia, and joined the [[Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist)]] in 1955. A link should also be made to [[Democratic Labor Party (historical)]].

*The new article, [[List of proposed states of the United States]], should be merged into [[Historic regions of the United States]] as it is an unnecessary logic split and unneeded. Its subject matter is already well covered specifically at the sub-sections: [[Historic_regions_of_the_United_States#Functioning_but_non-sanctioned_territories|Functioning]]; [[Historic_regions_of_the_United_States#Proclaimed_but_non-extant_entities|Proclaimed]]; and [[Historic_regions_of_the_United_States#Proposed_but_non-existent_entities|Proposed]]. The new article would simply be redundant.[[User:GenQuest|GenQuest]] ([[User talk:GenQuest|talk]]) 17:20, 8 November 2012 (UTC) |

Revision as of 17:20, 8 November 2012
This page lists proposed article mergers as a supplement to the merge categories and templates; it does not replace any of the other steps in the merger process. Please add the appropriate merger tag(s) to the articles before listing them here.
Category mergers should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
Template mergers should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion.
How to propose a merger
Proposing a merger can be done in three steps:
- Create a place for discussion. Go to the discussion page (also known as the talk page) of one of the articles and create a section to discuss the merger. If there's already a discussion on the talk page regarding the merger, you can omit this step. Whether the discussion is new or old, make sure the discussion section names all articles involved and link to them. The section name can be anything that includes the word merge, for example
==Proposed merger from Page1==
. - Put one of the merger tags at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{merge}}, {{Merge from}} and {{Merge to}} are the most common ones. Remember to make sure that the Discuss link in each tag points to the section you've created in step 1 – this is to prevent having two separate discussions on different talk pages.
- If the proposed merge is controversial or potentially difficult to carry out, follow the directions under #Requests for assistance and feedback to add it to the list.
Requests for 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 knowledgable people to comment on it.
- 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: To request page histories to be merged, list them at cut and paste move repairs.
Don't 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.
Current requests
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. This can also be used if an old proposal needs more discussion. We will attempt to get more people to comment on it.
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. Sign each listing or comment by typing: ~~~~

- The new article, List of proposed states of the United States, should be merged into Historic regions of the United States as it is an unnecessary logic split and unneeded. Its subject matter is already well covered specifically at the sub-sections: Functioning; Proclaimed; and Proposed. The new article would simply be redundant.GenQuest (talk) 17:20, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Awaiting consensus
- Satudarah_(motorcycle_club) into Satudarah. Same biker club. The original article got moved to Satudarah, but an editor reverted the redirect and added more content. Both continued to be edited and are now both out of sync. Don Cuan (talk) 17:53, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
- No-brainer, go ahead and merge. Ego White Tray (talk) 03:16, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- Stacie (Barbie) and Tutti and Todd (Barbie). The first one was discussed to deletion, and result is to merge, but more discussion is needed. Discussion here.--jcnJohn Chen (Talk-Contib.) RA 08:47, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- Comment requested at Wikiproject Toys. Ego White Tray (talk) 01:52, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

- Volkswagen Beetle (A5) to Volkswagen New Beetle. More discussion needed. See Talk:Volkswagen Beetle (A5)#Merge and discuss.
- Requested more comment at Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles Ego White Tray (talk) 03:20, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
- Rolando Cruz case to Jeanine Nicarico murder case - They are about the same cases and thus have almost identical content. Mr. Cruz is only notable for being convicted and cleared of Nicarico's murder. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 17:35, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment requested at Wikipedia:Wikiproject Crime Ego White Tray (talk) 03:27, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Completed requests
Not done Frances Hugle to Tape automated bonding or possibly other article. Notability for separate article is primarily in question. We are at an impasse with the people involved. Comment page. -- :- ) Don 21:21, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
- Complete concesus reached on talk page. Thanks for all the input. -- :- ) Don 16:12, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

- The articles Mario Reiter (footballer) and Mario Reiter (Austrian footballer) concern the same person and should be merged. -- Jesi (talk) 10:52, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Done Redirected. Ego White Tray (talk) 02:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Bonin Pipistrelle and Sturdee's Pipistrelle. Looks like the same species to me. - FakirNL (talk) 13:19, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Done Redirected. Ego White Tray (talk) 02:40, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Battery (baseball) into Glossary of baseball (B). The contents of Battery (baseball), which are not that long, already exist in Glossary of baseball (B). It was redirected twice, but reverted both times. The term battery is not notable for a stand-alone article being that only baseball experts or hardcore fans would know what it means. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 00:00, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Done Redirected and on my watchlist. Ego White Tray (talk) 02:21, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Numa Numa into Dragostea din tei. Discussion here.--SUFC Boy 13:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Numa Numa into Gary Brolsma. Discussion here.--SUFC Boy 13:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Half done Gary Brosma was merge into Numa Numa. The Dragostea din tei proposal was reject at the talk page. Ego White Tray (talk) 03:10, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
- Template:Medical_ethics and Template:Research_participant_rights should be merged and Template:Medical_ethics_cases should probably be merged in as well. IF this merge is accepted by the community, I'm happy to do the work. A draft is available here: User:Niels_Olson/Template:Medical_ethics. Niels Olson (talk) 04:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Wrong forum - now under discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 October 16 Ego White Tray (talk) 04:00, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
- Rape in Jammu and Kashmir to Rape in India J&K is a part of India and it makes no sense to have two separate articles were one would suffice. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:19, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Not done opposed on talk page Ego White Tray (talk) 03:14, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Women's Sevens World Cup should be integrated with 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens#Women’s. Miodzio3 (talk) 09:45, 31 July 2012 (UTC)The first one could be also used for women's tournament at the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens. Miodzio3 (talk) 06:31, 11 September 2012 (UTC)Done
- Jazzy Jordan is the Executive Vice President of Verity Gospel Music Group. The entire Jazzy Jordan article consists of 1) Jordan's résumé (including career accomplishments and "early life"), 2) two of Jordan's personal ventures ("Jordan Entertainment Group", which never got off the ground, and a one-year Indy 500 car co-ownership), and 3) successful VGMG albums that occurred while Jordan was with the company. This person, in my opinion, is entirely non-notable. A deletion discussion a year ago never gained any traction -- because no one cared enough about the article to bother even starting a talk page. Jsharpminor (talk) 21:05, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- Moot Page deleted. Ego White Tray (talk) 19:58, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Anna Månsdotter and Yngsjö murder - An IP user recently merged the two articles (and did it pretty well), but this was soon reverted by User:BabbaQ because nothing was discussed first. However, after seeing how the merged article looks like, I think it is a good idea to merge them again. The articles have almost the same information and are not that long in length. In fact, very little is known about Mrs. Mansdotter other than her involvement in Yngsjo's murder. Had it not been for this, no one would know who she is today. Because both articles have blank talk pages and a low number of edits since their creation, starting a discussion would be pointless since few people are monitoring them. This is a case where merging through WP:Bold is an effective solution. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 17:43, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Merge restored I wholeheartedly agree with everything above and have restored the merge. See WP:Bureaucracy, WP:Bold and WP:IAR for rationale for this well-done merge. Ego White Tray (talk) 03:46, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
- European Sevens Championship and Sevens grand prix series - two articles on the same subject. Miodzio3 (talk) 08:42, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- There is a suggestion since December 2008 on the Joaquin Trincado Mateo talk page to merge the EMECU article. EMECU is a single paragraph without any references. I concur with this recommendation and have created the respective tags, but would appreciate it if someone more skilled would complete the process. Thank you. Mannanan51 (talk) 06:26, 18 July 2012 (UTC)mannanan51
Done Redirected due to lack of unique content. Ego White Tray (talk) 02:13, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

• I need help moving the Controversy section of the Joan Juliet Buck into either the Asma al-Assad article and/or the Criticism section of Vogue. It overwhelms the profile. Buck seems to have been commissioned for the piece by Vogue, al-Assad's husband is responsible for many atrocities in his own county, and these points that are lost by keeping it in under Joan Juliet Buck.--Aichikawa (talk) 18:17, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Essentially, what we are trying to do here is create a new master page, or super-categorisation, for all two cylinder engines leading to sub- or child pages for individual configurations.
