  • Merge I propose merging Giant peccary with Collared peccary. The giant peccary has not been accepted as a valid species by any major zoological authority. It has instead been listed as a synonym for the collared peccary. I believe the proposed description/historic information of the giant peccary should merely take up a section in the Collared peccary article. Porqaz (talk) 22:26, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge: I propose merging Tuskegee Syphilis Study (71k, B class), Guatemala syphilis experiments (26k), and Terre Haute prison experiments (2k) as United States Public Health Service Syphilis Studies. The primary reason is to more appropriately name the articles for the funding, initiating, controlling party. Separating into three articles, each with location as the first word inappropriately obscures the driving party in all three cases, and connections between the three cases. In the seminal informed consent cases of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, the reference names identify compounds erected or seized explicitly for inhumane purposes -- so using those names besmirches no good deeds. Moreover, Auschwitz and Buchenwald are now closed memorials. Though local governance failed to protect their charges from PHS abuse, PHS was the controlling actor, and earned the title role. Wikipedia should not continue with titles that invite misinterpretation. COVID-19 makes 2021 an especially bad time to highlight PHS errors. Still, we Wikipedians face a recurring challenge: Where the most common phrasing distorts the known history by misreporting agency, highlighting minor parties instead of major/controlling parties -- should we continue to reinforce that distortion because it's common/popular? While merging would make a long article, it would be far from our longest. Bringing the articles together could better convey the connected nature of the events and improve overall reader understanding. The articles should be merged and renamed -- even if we postpone publishing the revision for some agreed interval. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:LoneStarNot (talk • contribs)

  • Merge: Third Oli cabinet to Second Oli cabinet: Second oli cabinet and Third oli cabinet are not different and the only difference is they come under second premiership and third premiership respectively as mentioned above. So a section for third premiership in same article, Second Oli cabinet can address both. Even the national medias term this as cabinet reshuffle. Can you deny this? It can be termed as second term of same cabinet as all the ministers remained same and same ministers took oath. Even their article suggest no Third Oli cabinet! Can you deny this? Fifth Deuba Cabinet, 2021 mentions it's preceded by Second Oli cabinet. Second Oli cabinet says it's succeeded by Fifth Deuba Cabinet, 2021. Isn't it? Except this article, you may not find this awkward topic, Third Oli cabinet any where. 43.245.86.16 (talk) 07:43, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Please find the concensus required and reference in the talk page of both articles. Visit and comment at Talk:Second Oli cabinet. 110.44.127.181 (talk) 20:01, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge My first merger proposal - I propose merging The Dirt Radicals into Pug Jelly. These bands are made up of exactly the same members, and they did not release much material or perform much notable activity under The Dirt Radicals name, so I would say these articles shouldn't be separate. pinktoebeans (talk) 11:27, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Infiniti EX into Infiniti QX50. In 2014, Infiniti changed their entire product line nomenclature to "create a sense of unity among [their] product line" All Infiniti articles were either moved or deleted to reflect this. This includes articles like Infniti JX or Infiniti FX. It makes no sense for the Infniti EX article to exist on its own. Quattro (talk) 15:57, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merging Púca and Puck (mythology) now Puck (folklore)
    • 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)[reply]

  • Merge Viton to FKM. The former is simply a brand name of the latter, the material that is encyclopedic is mostly duplicative, and we've already had at least two other brand-names-of-FKM articles speedily deleted as promotional.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  15:01, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Chicxulub impactor (36K) into Chicxulub crater (65k Featured Article) There's very little to say about the impactor itself other than speculation. There's no reason to have it separate from the crater article. Discussion at TALK PAGE. Hemiauchenia (talk) 01:21, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
    • Cmnt: Discussion strongly favors merging. Historyday01 should consider moving BOLDLY forward with the merge. GenQuest "scribble" 19:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • GenQuest, thanks for the reminder. I was planning to keep it open as long as possible, but I could definitely move forward with this. It has a lot more consensus than one of my other mergers listed on this page, which is currently about evenly divided between those in favor and those in opposition. Historyday01 (talk) 20:19, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Done, Closed as merge. Proposer or other interested editor should proceed with the merge. GenQuest "scribble" 01:46, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Draft: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

      •  Not done No interest expressed in merging these two. No interest expressed in not merging these two.

  • Merge PARCO 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.

  • Merge Trump 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.

  • Merge Kinetic Sand with Magic sand - it's (as far as I can tell) the same thing, sand with a hydrophobic coating, just a stickier one, in the case of kinetic sand, allowing it to be moulded where magic sand would fall apart. Both articles are pretty short, but Kinetic Sand is shorter. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 22:17, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge North Briton to North Britain. The weird stub at North Briton serves no purpose and is not an encyclopedic topic but an unhelpful WP:CONTENTFORK. The people who live in North Britain are just residents of an area, and are not a distinct ethnic, linguistic, cultural, or other population. Cf. South Briton redirects to South Britain, and this is typical for "South/North/East/West[ern] [whatever]" names when they simply refer to indistinct populations of regions.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:13, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Meryre_II with Tomb_of_Meryra_II - The first article is about the man. The second is about his tomb. The article about the man describes the art depicted in his tomb and what it indicates about his role in the Egyptian court of his time. The second just says he has a a tomb. This article would be more effective if combined with a sub-section of Meryre II entitled "Amarna Tomb 2."-- ForWhomTheSunShines (talk) 13:53, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge List of largest cities throughout history (source article) into Historical urban community sizes (destination/target article). I have opened a discussion to merge on the target article's talkpage. Since I am an IP, I can not subscribe to this noticeboard or the discussion on the article talkpage. I will know the outcome only if and as and when i specifically check these. I am an experienced but a recreational editor and edit once in a while. I am glad there is this noticeboard to watch over the things. Please keep and eye and I leave it your hands to take care of it. Thanks in advance for volunteering your time for these kind of things. 58.182.176.169 (talk)
  • Merge The Mother Court and Supremely Partisan into James D. Zirin. It's been several years now and this trio of WP:COI-infused micro-stubs has not improved even slightly (all narrowly survived WP:AFD, one as "no consensus" so likely to be AfDed again if not merged). With all their content combined (and more easily watchlistable by proper editors for any further attempts to misuse Wikipedia as a promotional platform), we might end up with an at least marginally encyclopedic article. What we've got right now is Zirin WP:GAMING our system to give himself three promotional articles at once.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:57, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Meteorological history of Hurricane Michael into Hurricane Michael. This merge discussion has been running for two weeks and this merge discussion was started by none other than the creator of the article Hurricane Noah. I have closed the discussion before shortly after merge moratorium exception was applied, but my close was considered to be improper (Cyclonebiskit said that this discussion was not unanimous and the consensus should be achieved through strength of arguments. I was also involved in the discussion). Because of this reason, I decided to put this discussion here to get more attention from willing editors to participate in the discussion.

  • Merge The Incorruptibles into John Hornor Jacobs. The micro-stub at The Incorruptibles has already been deleted at AfD once, and was simply recreated in essentially the same form, without any better sourcing. This is actually a speedy deletion candidate. I think it would be more productive to merge the tiny amount of material there into the author's article, which is itself a tiny stub, and start fleshing that article out a bit more concerning the author's other works.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:05, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
