Closing instructions

"WP:PM" redirects here. For requesting to move or rename a page, see Misplaced Pages:Requested moves. For page history mergers, see Misplaced Pages:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Shortcuts

The discussion about merging at the village pump is now archived (here). The vast majority of those who expressed an opinion considered the system based on the current templates and this process (Misplaced Pages:Proposed mergers) to be inadequate.

The implementation of a new automated system is being discussed at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Merge/Archive 2#Automation of merge proposals. More participation in that discussion is welcome.

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.

How to propose a merger

Main page: Help:Merging

There are three types of mergers on Misplaced Pages:

  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 about whether and/or how to perform the merge; and
  3. mergers that are controversial or potentially difficult to carry out, and therefore need assistance from uninvolved editors in determining whether to merge the pages.

If the pages that you would like to merge fall into the first group, 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 a formal discussion is wanted, then proposing a merger can be done in three steps:

  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 proposal==).
  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).
  3. 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.

Many bold mergers are performed each day. Of the mergers that are formally proposed, about 95% fall into the second category, of wanting discussion or practical assistance from the editors at the articles that are to be merged. The remaining 5% of formally proposed mergers are on contentious topics or are controversial for one reason or another. Only this small fraction is listed at the bottom of this page as instructed in step #3.

Requests for merge 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 Misplaced Pages: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: If you have merged an article by this method, then you need to request page histories to be merged; list them at cut and paste move repairs. Please DO NOT perform further moves by cut and paste.

NOTE: Do not 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. -Project Merge
NOTE: Please do not re-list old merge proposals that are already tagged and in the "to Merge" que (including requests made up to two years ago), as these will be handled as we get to them. -Project Merge

NEW 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. 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. 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 (~~~~):


AWAITING CONSENSUS

Once tagged, request should be added here. This section can also be used if an old proposal needs further discussion. We will attempt to get more people to comment on it.

Only comments so far favor the mass-merge of the request. Someone familiar with the subject should probably proceed. GenQuest 21:40, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Merge Salawat and Durood. Reason given: The articles seems to indicate that Salawat is Arabic of Durood. Also, sending Peace, Salutations, Blessings , etc on the Muhammad all usually refer to similar things, with some slight but significant difference in the meaning of the words. The difference comes in usage of different phrases. E.g.- one kind of phrase used after mentioning his name and another kind of phrase used in Salah. Rather a sub-topic should be used to mention the difference (Note: Naat is not used for this merger, which removed previous merge request) Verycuriousboy (talk) 12:22, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Merge Investigative Project on Terrorism into Steven Emerson. There is no such entity as the Investigative Project on Terrorism, and much of the information included in the current article belongs in an article under the actual organization which is The Investigative Project on Terrorism Foundation founded in April 2006. There is also a separate entity, The Investigative Project, and the Steven Emerson article where some of the information belongs. Everything is being lump summed under an invalid article.

  • Merger proposal for Zona Histórica de San Juan (San Juan Historic Site) with Old San Juan, Puerto Rico: I propose that Zona Histórica de San Juan be merged into Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. I think that the content in the "Zona Histórica de San Juan" article can easily be explained in the context of the Old San Juan article, and the Old San Juan article is of a reasonable size that the merging of "Zona Histórica de San Juan" will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

 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)

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 00:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

This seems to be a contentious proposal as a near edit-war has broken out over just tagging the articles for discussion.

• 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.

The intention here is to resolve a problem that has arisen relating to the three main groups of 'non-V' or 'non-flat' twins, i.e. transverse or parallel twins, inline or longitudinal twins, and tandem twins. At present three configurations are being shoehorned into a single article called "Straight-two engine", which arguably is a far more obscure and minor terminology for some engine configurations and not used widely by manufacturers. The previously unreferenced topic being started by a non-native English speaker, sometime ago and the preponderance of references suggesting this does not meet Misplaced Pages naming conventions, as per WP:NAME; Recognizability, Naturalness, Precision, Conciseness, Consistency, English language use etc.
The idea is as sufficient content arises, new child page can be developed off the new parent. --Bridge Boy (talk) 19:11, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
