  • Allegheny_Energy into FirstEnergy. As both articles indicate, the latter bought the former company over two years ago. I was going to add some content on a current news issue about one of their facilities, but the now-defunct company is now part of the larger business which is generating that news.

  • Brecht's poetry into Bertolt Brecht. The article is organized as an essay, the title is not properly formatted, hints of violating policies regarding original research. Currently there is very little discussion of Brecht's poetry at the Bertold Brecht biography article--a rather strange omission that stands out given his prominence in early 20th century poetry.

  • History of Rotherham United F.C. was proposed for a merger 3 years ago. Not much discussion went on, so I am asking for feedback on whether you think the page should be merged into Rotherham United F.C. or not. Please note I am trying to get the latter article featured so detailed information and references will be of massive help from that page. And apologies if I have posted this in the wrong section, I'm new to this type of stuff on wikipedia.

  • I found it uncomfortable to have both articles Southern Pacific class GS-6 and Southern Pacific 4460 existing. Probably, it's best to move the latter to the former. The articles are too similar, and I also want to see original and uncited content to be handled (the nicknames, for example). Ctempire (talk) 21:21, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

  • I've just tagged Ayran, proposal is to merge Doogh into Ayran, both being the same drink essentially (water, yoghurt and salt). If it seems pointless, discuss - Note the Ayran article's history section for the unseriousness of the argument. --Vitilsky (talk) 18:30, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

 Not done. This proposal involves converting a list into a full-blown article. There are problems with this in that the list is transcluded into List of newspapers in the United States#Wyoming. Note the comment on the top of that file--a similar comment is on other analogous state lists as well:

!-- Note to future editors: this article is copied by transclusion into the article "List of newspapers in the United States". Only include links here unless you plan to rewrite that article to use part of the list here, such as for listing only major papers on the main page. Include anything relevant to this page only - things that should only show on this page and not be carried back to the main article - by placing it between blocks. Also, make sure there is nothing - no CR - before a if one is not to be included in the upstream article, or occurs after the , or an extra blank line will be sent back to the calling article

This proposal should be made on a global 50-state basis, not on a single state, to maintain consistency across states. Wbm1058 (talk) 16:28, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

  • US Railroad classes. I think it's suitable to merge all three articles of the US Railroad Classes to one article. The Class I Railroad page is detailed, but is subjected to cleanup. The Class II railroad and Class III railroad pages are the other articles in this proposal. The list in "Class III" might have to be in a different page. Please consider this merging.

 Working The incomplete merge was made by an IP (95.141.31.4) on March 3, 2013. Since then, the merger was reversed with the discussion continuing here. There will need to be administrative or supervisory input to close this apparently divisive proposal. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 04:03, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

  • I'm not going to read anything about the procedure I should use, but just ignore all rules and report it here: Geometric Shapes and Geometric Shapes (Unicode block) are duplicates, it would be nice if somebody who read about the way to merge to articles could merge them.

 Done I suspect you were looking at the redirect. The original redirect was accomplished nearly a year ago; however, another stub-version of the redirected article reappeared recently. It has since been redirected. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 21:03, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

  • New Orleans blues is almost certainly the same topic as New Orleans rhythm and blues. From my understanding, though it may be mistaken, the best phrasing is the latter: "New Orleans rhythm and blues", so the former should redirect to it.

The merge discussion has not been closed.

The apparently reverted merge and re-opened discussion is duplicated above (in March 2013).
  • Mattel v. MCA Records should be merged with Barbie Girl - A WP:BOLD merge was undone by User:TJRC, citing "court case is more than song, also defamation; having a separate article allows legal issues to be discussed that would be off-topic here." This is an invalid rationale being that the lawsuit happened as a direct result of the song making fun of Barbie and bearing its name. Had the song been named something else, it would not have happened. Since the lawsuit has been settled, it is very unlikely that any new information will come up in the near future (even if that was the case, a merge can easily be undone). Starting a discussing would be rather pointless because Mattel v. MCA Records is a low class article not watched by many editors and had minimal edits since its creation over three years ago. This is how the merged article looks like and it seems perfectly okay by me. Before it is done again, though, I suggest you speak one-on-one with User:TJRC because he will likely revert it, being the only editor opposing a merge of any kind. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 22:02, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
This is probably the wrong noticeboard for your request, as the merge has already happened (even though it was subsequently reversed). Have/Did you start(ed) a discussion along these lines at the article Talk? That should be a first step, then you would have Third Opinion or Comment requests available to you. From the results of that forum, the article can be brought to Mediation, Arbitration, or even AfD if warranted. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 00:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

There is a discussion on talk page: Talk:Araeomolis#Merger_Proposal. I strongly oppose merger. Ruigeroeland (talk) 15:05, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
[edit conflict] This seems to be a contentious proposal as a near edit-war has broken out over just tagging the articles for discussion. I started to tag the articles, and then realized they had already been tagged several times, each having been subsequently removed. I'm not going to waste my time to further tag them all. I posted a list of the affected articles at the discussion sight. (It may be better to take this to AfD.) GenQuest "Talk to Me" 15:17, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
