This page is an incomplete list of proposed mergers. Anyone may list any article merger proposal here. This is optional, and 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. See Category:Merge by month for all pages needing to be merged.

[edit] Guidelines

In general, this page should be used primarily to solicit outside feedback regarding mergers (particularly those of a controversial nature), or assistance with difficult or complicated mergers. Brief replies may be posted here, but lengthy discussions should be confined to the talk pages of the articles involved. After articles are merged (or a consensus that the articles should not be merged is reached), please remove them from the list below.

  • Fond du Lac Freeway with Wisconsin Highway 145. With improvements, the two pages would end up being redundant, as they will carry quite a bit of the same information. Perhaps a section dealing with the section that is known as the Fond du Lac Freeway would be in order on the merged page. Thoughts?TheBigFish (talk) 16:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Rosy Cross with Rose Cross. There is some discussion on their talk pages that one is distinctly different from the other, but little clear evidence. Lusanaherandraton (talk) 00:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Water memory into Jacques Benveniste. The water memory article concerns itself mainly with a controversy over published research by Jacques Benveniste and presently excludes other kinds of water memory. —Whig (talk) 03:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC) No, I think the topic is broader & would overshadow the bio. DGG (talk) 00:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

I have just put up {{mergeto}} and {{mergefrom-multiple}} tags proposing merging both into Acne vulgaris.B.Wind (talk) 22:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge Postbooks into OpenMFG: Basically Postbooks is the stripped down and differently licensed version of OpenMFG, so the two articles have a lot of redundancy. --S.K. (talk) 16:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • merge Philippines' Next Top Model and Philippines' Next Top Model, Cycle 1. Since there is still no confirmation about a possible second cycle of PNTM, it should not have been split in the first place. And now, because of the "unpermitted" split, an overly-parodized and overly-vandalized article was created out of a hoax article that is Philippines' Next Top Model, Cycle 2. Star C Zamora (talk) 13:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • merge Paraceratherium and Indricotherium. In french the corresponding articles are already merged. Here the difficulty is that both articles in english complete each other. The reason for the proposed merge is that : larger more robust Indricotherium with larger incisors being probably the male, and the more gracile Paraceratherium the female. It make no sense to have to articles describing a single specie. It need just a reference that historically they seemed to be different species. 6 January 2008

[edit] November 2007

  • Merge Anglican_ministry with a very similar article Anglican. Some of the information is the same. A combined article from a knowledgable person would be a real benefitSpiorad (talk) 16:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Proposed merger of Fascist italianization and Italianization - a into a single article Italianization. I came upon this by chance. This article was in one piece until recently divided without any question or consensus. I tried moving the page back myself but I made it even worse so now there are three instead of just two pages. The first two pages are good enough for article with subsections (as it was), the third was my mistake and should be deleted be best of by being totally removed. --Raguseo 02:36, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Update. Second article has been redirected into third article. No apparent consensus to fold the first into the third. "Mistake" or not, recommend that the Italianization article be properly expanded independent of Fascist italianization and add citations instead. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 21:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] October 2007

  • Proposed merger of Blue Fugates into Methemoglobinemia. This was proposed a year ago by another user, but was incomplete. (The user added the mergeto template, but didn't list the merger proposal here or on any talk page.) Two editors, including me, disagreed with the proposal. I have restarted the merger proposal (discuss) to make sure it's handled correctly. Personally, I'm voting against, but want to give the proposal a fair shake.
  • Proposed merger of MEGA Cosmos (Canada) into Mega Channel: There is already a section on Mega Channel about it's international broadcast called Mega Cosmos. The channel is the same all over the world, but in Canada Ethnic Channels Group will add Canadian content them selfs per CRTC requirement. I think that info can be easly added into the existing article. Also the channel is not owned by Ethnic Channels Group as the 1st article mentions. Planecrazy22 23:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Proposed merger of Drapetomania and Samuel A. Cartwright. The former was a "scientific" theory of why people held in slavery ran away. The later was the person who came up with it. It seems to me that one doesn't have much notability without the other and they could easily be put together. Neither is very long. Steve Dufour 19:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] September 2007

  • Proposed merge of Mini blind into Window blind. Please provide INPUT. 71.234.194.80 04:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] August 2007

  • Proposed merger of Interior decoration into Interior design. The terms "interior design" and "interior decoration" overlap somewhat and are narrowly defined to apply only to the U.S. context as to usage because of the U.S. state regulation of the practice of interior design. Less distinction in the use of both terms applies to the international context. →Lwalt ♦ talk 23:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Maybe to be double check but I think the articles Cyclostyle (copier) and Mimeograph machine need to be merged because it is only different names given to a same machine. The first one is very small compared to the second one so maybe a deletion of the first one and then a redirection would be the best. Popol 1d 17:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Church of St. Anne, Talaulim and St. Anne Church, Goa. Both refer to the same church in Goa, probably the largest church in Asia.
  • There was some discussion before on merging P53 with TP53. It is my opinion that the best thing would be to have this information in one article, but at least they should be renamed and put in a disambig for TP53 - because both protein and gene are named TP53. --Maxxicum 09:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
