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.
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.)
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).
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.
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.
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 (~~~~). Unsigned requests may not be honored.
Afterall 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.
After discussion concludes, completed requests should be moved below (to the top of this list). Please mark as {{Done}} (or {{merge done}} if merge has actually occured), {{Not done}}, or {{Working}} when consensus has been reached.
Done No objections have been expressed to this merge. Proposer, SMcCandlish or other interested project member should proceed with the merge and tidy-up. GenQuest"scribble" 02:57, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I was going to work on the Púca page (well, the french version, but not the point). Problem, starting my work by looking at what exist in english, I noticed that there is already a Puck (mythology) page that refers to the same creature! Yes, there are pages in English for BOTH terms, pages translated in both cases in many languages ... BUT the Puck (mythology) page uses Puck or Púca indifferently for these creatures, ditto for the Púca page, the two terms are entirely synonymous and describe the same creature, there are just variations in the writing according to the regions, indicated on both pages (Pooka, Phouka, Pwca, etc.) and a common Celtic origin, both pages giving more or less the same information, just formulated differently, as well as most of the same examples in popular culture (a true tomayto-tomahto case). If some other creatures (I mean those with a common ancestry) have evolved into different creatures or at least with enough specificities to be considered as such (Poulpiquet, Pixie, Bucca), a bit like different "species" or "subspecies", this is not the case between Puck and Púca, treated as identical. The two should be merged and a redirect link put on Púca. Oh, Shakespeare's Puck, inspired (as said on BOTH pages) by the creature, has its own page (justified, as he is a specific Puck / Púca, I just wanted to clarify that none of the pages are about him -or when they are, they are equally so). --Zeynel (talk) 23:45, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Merge: I propose merging Web television with Streaming television, following the guidance outlined on WP:MERGEINIT. In 2009, there was a similar merge, also posted on the Steaming Television page but there was no consensus for a merger. However, a 2010 comment said that term "peaked in 2008." In 2016, there was another discussion calling for a merger, but the discussion ended in 2018, with a merger never implemented. Recently, I began a discussion about this on WikiProject Television, but that discussion ended without any resolution and only a few users contributed. Due to the importance of this subject and the fact that the terms web television and streaming television are used here and there on pages, I would say this issue is definitely an important one that merits discussion. Discussion of the merger is Here. Historyday01 (talk) 14:12, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

GenQuest, thanks for the reminder. I was planning to keep it open as long as possible, but I could definitely move forward with this.

MergeDraft:Matthew Hurley into H2 Motorsports - I had created the bio after reading about controversy/investigation on H2's page (I watch some motorsports) but it failed review. I thought a 14 year old who started a business that employed a number of people and Hurley's subsequent coverage and creation of a NASCAR team would qualify for notability but may be wrong. Therefore I am asking for assistance on merging the two as I have never proposed a merger nor am I familiar enough with what content should be included on the target page. Thank you.

Merge: I propose that the Sandnes (city) page should be merged into the Sandnes page. Anything related to the city should instead be a part of the article about the municipality. This is how the article about Stavanger is structured, and I don't know why these neighboring municipalities are structured in a different way. In addition, the wiki page about Oslo is also structured similar to the page about Stavanger. Most people will only read the page about the municipality, and because of that — the city article will become outdated. The article about the municipality is what appears when searching for Sandnes on Google and Google Maps. A similar thing should also be done on the Norwegian Wikipedia, and the page about the munincipality should be written to resemble the Stavanger page. Additionally, two pages for one historical place might be confusing for readers. Makkkkus

MergePARCO into Parco, and then move that to Parco (disambiguation) for consistency. Also, the Japanese retailer on that list is always stylized as PARCO, can that article name be fixed as well? I had attempted a move to a disambiguation page myself, but had not been able to find the article Parco (retailer) and didn't have the chance to make one myself yet at the time, so it was reverted as I only knew of the retailer (which didn't seem to have an article) to add in addition to the group that PARCO currently links to.

MergeTrump v. Deutsche Bank AG into Trump v. Mazars USA, LLP. The lower court cases were consolidated into one Supreme Court case with a single opinion, and that is what will be remembered for posterity. We can simply combine the backgrounds of each case into one Background section (since each bank had a different background with their case). The source page is empty, outdated, and lacking in info, and users have noted that on both articles and talk pages and said they should be joined together. One example of this is Colorado Department of State v. Baca which is merged into Chiafalo v. Washington since they are both consolidated for one opinion, and thus have the same article. I added the merge banners for the Trump articles and opened a merge discussion, but it doesn't make an official merge notice on the talk page. Phillip Samuel (talk) 04:03, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
