Merge Live ATM Alert into 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation. The former article is a one-off hashtag phenomenon related to the latter incident. MT TrainDiscuss 15:26, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Merge Pingyao Ancient City into Pingyao. Content already merged since precisely same SCOPE but the page and talk page edit histories need merging to Pingyao. — LlywelynII 11:32, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Merge Ladislao Bukowinski into Władysław Bukowiński - the latter existed well-before the former and it shouldn't be a controversial move since it only requires a transfer of content. Recommend moving sources if there aren't any conflicts regarding sources for the latter page. Thanks. Lord Sidious 82 (talk) 11:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Merge Urban field into urban agriculture as the urban field topic is a discussion of urban agriculture as an area, it cites no sources and should be a sub-section of urban agriculture. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 17:30, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
Merger of Quia timet injunctions in English law into Quia timet. Quia timet injunctions in English law only had 1 edit while Quia timet seems only focus on English common law.
Merge Grand Beach (Manitoba) into Grand Beach Provincial Park. Grand Beach (Manitoba) can refer to the geographical feature of the beach itself, or the townsite of cottages as marked on the provincial map, both of which are within the boundaries of Grand Beach Provincial Park. As such the articles will duplicate the same geography, history, demographics and features.nerdgoonrant (talk) 13:15, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Merge Sophie Reade to Big Brother 10 (UK) per WP:ONEEVENT. She has not done anything outside of the reality show and there is nothing in her article beyond that.
Merge Michigan Womyn's Music Festival and transgender people to Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. A split article was made due to an excessive amount of information added during the height of the transgender controversy in 2014, but since then, many trivial, POV information from the split article has been removed to the point where it is no needed and whatever content is left can be added back to the main article.
Merge the disambiguation page The Nobodies into the disambiguation Nobody because most of the entries are listed on both pages already and the TV show Nobodies (TV series) doesn't fit into either category at the moment so it is only listed under Nobody even though it is closer to The Nobodies (but no one knows that that page even exists). Nicholas0 (talk) 12:10, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
Merge Urban spatial structure into Urban structure as the Uss topic is the same as the larger article (urban structure) and has very little content with complete overlap. This one is generally not controversial. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 17:27, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
Merge Choppies Enterprises Ltd into Choppies as both articles describe the same company. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 20:47, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Merge Catholic War Veterans Triangle into Catholic War Veterans. The former article is for a small, insignificant park made by the latter company and its content can fit easily into the organization article.
Merge Jim Beam into Beam Suntory and redirect. Jim Beam is ostensibly about that brand of whiskey, but the vast bulk of the article is about the corporate history of the company. That would more properly go under the company itself, Beam Suntory. This is how it's done for the brand and the company Jack Daniels, for example.
Merge Snoopy loop into Rubber band #Ranger bands and redirect. One is an alias for the other and the small article (a sub-set of the larger one) is very unlikely to ever be expanded.
Merge Dylann Roof into Charleston church shooting. Implicit in this proposal is the assertion that Dylann Roof does not merit his own biographical wikipedia page. Hmcst1 (talk) 17:05, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
Merge Draft: Music of Stranger Things into Music of Stranger Things, which as it sits right now is just a redirect. The draft article is ready for the mainspace. SomethingToTellYou (talk) 04:29, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
Merge FontShop International into FontShop (or vice-versa). Someone wrote into OTRS (ticket:2017071310013622), noting that FontShop International and FontShop are essentially the same company. Sounds likely. Can someone look into it?--S Philbrick(Talk) 01:00, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
MERGE: WNAO-TV should be merged into WRDC, as content from the former article has been inserted into the latter. Even though they are separate stations from a licensing standpoint, they have a combined rich history. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 17:06, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Merge Seven Sister States to North-East India. Consensus has been reached to move Seven Sister States as a section within North-East India. And have a redirect post merge. We need admin help. >>>Discussion here<<< RenZutↂ 06:22, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Merge Reactions to the 2016 Lahore suicide bombing to 2016 Lahore suicide bombing. Neither articles are long enough to warrant a split. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.78.188 (talk) 23:30, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Merge Felipe García (handballer) and Felipe García, the same persons. -- Jesi (talk) 16:29, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
Merge Budapest Symphony Orchestra into Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra is the more accurate name of the orchestra, as the Budapest Symphony Orchestra refers to a commercial arm of the ensemble and is secondary to the orchestra's primary work for Hungarian Radio. DJRafe (talk) 18:30, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
Merge Godfrey of Winchester and Godfrey of Cambrai as they are the same person.--Gothus (talk) 21:05, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
Merge Second Korean War into 2017 North Korea crisis. Almost all redundant information better covered in 2017 North Korea crisis. PackMecEng (talk) 03:02, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Merge Sanbon kumite into Kumite. Dwanyewest (talk) 23:13, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
Merge Discussion of merger of District Collector into Indian Administrative Service, someone put a tag of merger on District Collector in June 2016 but forgot to create a discussion, I did that in his/her lieu, even though, I personally think that the article, District Collector, is notable, but still community input would appreciable. Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions) 21:10, 5 September 2017 (UTC).
Merge CWUAA Outstanding Player of the Year, Mervyn “Red” Dutton Trophy, Dave "Sweeney" Schriner Scoring Trophy, CWUAA Goaltender of the Year, Adam Kryczka Memorial Trophy, University of Alberta Hockey Alumni Trophy, UBC Alumni Trophy, CWUAA Student Athlete Community Service Award, CWUAA Coach of the Year, and Fair Play Trophy into Canada West University Hockey Awards. The individual articles don't really have their own notability. A discussion should be held on if the article should be by award or by year. menaechmi (talk) 16:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
Merge Dismissal of Sally Yates into Sally Yates. Most of the content is duplicated, and the dismissal itself didn't generate more news than the immediate outrage. Due to low traffic on the pages, no spontaneous comments have yet arisen on the merge request, so I hope to attract some attention here.
Merge: - (Discussion)- The United States of Europe page should be merged with the European superstate page. They are different names, but they are saying the same thing. Oldag07 (talk) 15:34, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Merge Zarcero (Canton) into Zarcero (canton). Thanks! - Ninney (talk) 19:26, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
Merge Single-use zoning and Zoning, these topics overlap greatly and use similar text. Single-use (euclidean) zoning is a sub-type of zoning that is very common in many places around the world. A RFD at Talk:Single-use zoning was created in December 2016 by Jlfbrown but never acted on as there wasn't enough interest to update. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 17:00, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
Merge Darlene Conner into Darlene Conner Healy as it about the same woman. Dwanyewest (talk) 20:06, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
Merge Theo Huxtable and Theodore Aloysius "Theo" Huxtable into Theodore Huxtable as its about the same person. Dwanyewest (talk) 20:06, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
Merge Timeline of Gulf War (1990-1991) into Timeline of the Gulf War. Neither is particularly well sourced, and discussion on what can/should be merged would be appropriate considering the length of the source article. Both articles have been tagged and are awaiting merger discussion. menaechmi (talk) 17:33, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Merge All Angels' Church (New York City) into All Angels' Church. They seem to describe the same "object" with slight differences. -- Jesi (talk) 13:10, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

MERGE: George Lopez (season 1), George Lopez (season 2), George Lopez (season 3), George Lopez (season 4), George Lopez (season 5), and George Lopez (season 6) should be merged into List of George Lopez episodes. Each season article is nothing, but episode plot summary and lacks the notable information needed for them to warrant separate articles like ratings, receptions, casting, crew changes, setting, etc.
Merge Sex tourism in Costa Rica into Prostitution in Costa Rica as its about the same subject. Dwanyewest (talk) 05:33, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Merge:
into Legacy Fighting Alliance. Dwanyewest (talk) 01:22, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Merge City farm into Urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is a more comprehensive article on the same subject. "City farm" is not a notable or distinct category within urban ag.Red 00 (talk) 23:42, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
Merge Run-on sentence into Sentence clause structure. Most of the content in the former article is excessive and violates WP:NOTGUIDE. Whatever little content it really needs can fit into the latter article. 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Merge 2017 Brooklyn train crash to Atlantic Terminal. Almost three months after the accident, it has not shown to have major lasting impact and has almost become forgotten. The critical details of this minor derailment are already in the terminal article anyway. 18 March 2017 (UTC)
Merge In December 2016 two different merger proposals arose at Invasion of Normandy. Ensuing discussion has resulted in open suggestions of merging:
Where: A=Invasion of Normandy, B=Operation Overlord, C= List of Battle of Normandy leaders and D=Normandy landings. Please help discuss here. RM2KX (talk) 16:52, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Merge Banque Populaire du Rwanda into Banque Populaire du Rwanda SA - Seems to be a duplicate WhisperToMe (talk) 18:03, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
Merge Psycho Rangers into Villains in Power Rangers in Space. The Psycho Rangers article is all plot and unsourced trivial information and nothing proving notability has been added since its creations years ago. Whatever little information we need about them can be added to the villains article. -User:173.3.76.2
Merge Millennium Interactive into Guerrilla Cambridge, as they are the same company (just rebranded), and both share the same history; also both are very short articles and could together create a better one. Lordtobi (✉) 07:04, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
MERGE: Recommending mergers of Sons of Mosiah, Helaman, son of Helaman, Corianton, Shiblon, Timothy, son of Nephi, Amos, son of Nephi, Ammaron, and Amos, son of Amos, as multiple individual articles gives undue weight. I have placed merge banner templates and talk sections for each page, but I am requesting discussion be focused at Talk:Corianton. Deaddebate (talk) 22:39, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
MERGE Command and control (malware) with Botnet. >>> Discussion HERE <<< The content is pretty much copy-pasted and duplicated already, and the two ideas are insperable IMO. Have tagged them up, am posting here for input and advice about how to go about the merge if necessary. Deku-shrub (talk) 20:21, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
Merge: Feb 2016 request/suggestion banners but not found listed here so doing now: Feb 2016 banner "suggesting" merge of Video hosting service with Online video platform. Added opening discussion/talk to both articles (duplicate text). My comment is to NOT merge. Pending input from others. Regards, Suemactal (talk) 13:02, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Merge Gregory Chaney into Greg Chaney. Same subject cover on two separate pages with repeated and missing information on both. Its been over a month since it was proposed to merge with only one vote (Mine) FOR the merge. IdahoPolitics (talk) 17:10, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
I attempted to but it didn't work for me, therefore the request..
Merge Battle of Chamdo into
Merge Cartoon pornography into Erotic animation (per existing tags). The former article is a stub with an ambiguous name: "cartoon" could mean either "animated" or "a certain style of illustration and animation". The article has little content, nearly all of which is duplicated by other articles (Hentai, Legal status of drawn pornography depicting minors, Erotic animation). Nearly all references to "cartoon pornography" in reliable sources are about animated (rather than drawn) material, making the clearer- and more-neutrally-titled Erotic animation the most logical place to house this information. (Discussion already underway). -Jason A. Quest (talk) 22:50, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Merge Florrie Dugger into Bugsy Malone. Former child actress with only one acting credit, so doesn't appear to qualify for a separate biographical article under WP:NACTOR. It seems logical to merge or redirect her biographical stub into the article dealing with the only film she actually appeared in. Only two "votes" so far on Talk page, one (me!) in favor of merging, one against. Muzilon (talk) 01:46, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
Merge History of video game industry in Finland into Video gaming in Finland. Dwanyewest (talk) 13:16, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
Merge Northeast Pennsylvania English to Inland Northern American English. One is merely a subset of the other dialect, which no cited source seems to differentiate or consider unique. Wolfdog (talk) 22:00, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Merge Flatulence fetishism into
Merge History of Lego into The Lego Group and/or Lego, as I see no reason to keep it separately. Most of the content is included in both, but it requires cleanup and minor expansion. Lordtobi (✉) 19:11, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Merge DMA Design into Rockstar North. Since they are the same company (including being the same legal entity), they share the same history. The latter article already includes about all of the information from the prior, just in a different writing style, so it makes no sense to keep both. The DMA Design article should be redirected, and the lede and infobox of Rockstar North be adapted to DMA Design's. Lordtobi (✉) 17:42, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
Proposal that McLaughlin Motor Car Showroom be merged into Burano (building) is controversial as the creator of the McLaughlin Motor Car Showroom article strongly objects. Although the talk page of the appropriate Wikiproject was notified, this may require a third party to determine consensus. Discussion is at Talk:McLaughlin Motor Car Showroom#Merger proposal. Jack N. Stock (talk) 05:39, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Merge article Parry's_Corner into George_Town,_Chennai; dated: January 2017. Proposer's Rationale: Parry's_Corner (stub size article) is a small part of the George_Town,_Chennai neighbourhood, as is given in the article George_Town,_Chennai. So merging it will be a good idea, and this will direct the readers to a more relevant and bigger article. I have added merger proposal tags to source and destination articles and started merger discussion at destination's talk page here. May be this will be a 'Type 1 merger', with no disagreements. Thanks, by User 2know4power (talk) 10:35, 30 January 2017 (UTC).
Merge The Beverly Hills into Tai Po. "The Beverly Hills" is stub-class and has not been updated in over a year, leading me to wonder whether the subject can support an article on its own. "Tai Po" is the most logical place to put the information in "The Beverly Hills" if that article is not to be deleted. Rob Kelk 20:34, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Merge numerous non-notable KDE applications into KDE Applications. This has already been done with other Desktop environments/operating systems such as non-notable MacOS and Haikuos applications being merged into "List of OS X components" and "Haiku Applications". Suggested KDE articles to be merged together are:
Merge Gilmer belt to Toothed belt, as it is a synonymous trade name.
Merge Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman to Yes (band). There are two bands currently touring as Yes, both hold equal legal rights to the Yes name as stated by both.Fekso (talk) 10:45, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Merge List of 21st-century Canadian tornadoes and tornado outbreaks into List of Canadian tornadoes and tornado outbreaks. This used to be all one article, and it was better to reference when it was contained to one page. Suckerpunch (talk) 15:33, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Merge List of places with numeric names into Wikipedia:Unusual place names. The latter article already has a section on numeric place names. 1618033goldenc0ntr1b5 22:14, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
Merge Marty McKenna, Chloe Ferry, and Aaron Chalmers (TV personality) into Geordie Shore or List of Geordie Shore cast members. All new pages were made today, but the cast aren't yet noteworthy for their own articles - they don't seem necessary. ThisIsDanny (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Merge Leuthen Chorale (and redirect) into Now Thank We All Our God - it's the same hymn (see, for example of how it should be done, the german wikipedia) - the first page really should be nothing more than a section of the second one. 69.165.196.103 (talk) 01:28, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Merge African Liberation Day into Africa Day MassiveEartha (talk) 02:18, 27 April 2017 (UTC) Merge Timmons Arena with Furman University given the brevity of the former article. It is best not left as a stand-alone article. NJ (talk) 17:15, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Merge Jules Léotard to Leotard, given the article's shortness and his only real claim to fame was inventing the garment, he does not really need a separate article.
Merge Jack and Jill bathroom to bathroom. They are about the same thing. The only real difference is that one is about a bathroom with two doors and the other is about a normal bathroom. 1 February 2017 (UTC) Merge mammary crest and milk line : the items are about the same topic. Salsero35 (talk) 20:21, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
Merge Kurdish recognition of the Armenian genocide into the Kurdish position section of the Armenian Genocide recognition article. This subject area is generally controversial due to competing nationalist narratives, but I don't see that there's a case for a standalone article specific to Kurdish recognition. And I'm hoping that all interested parties can agree that we can cover this sub-topic better within the overall recognition article. Rupert Clayton (talk) 00:44, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Merge French Decorative styles during the Reign of Louis XVI (1774–91) into 18th-century French art. Extra article is not necessary, with a terrible title. 49.197.13.236 (talk) 02:41, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
Merge the Flag of the Republic of China into the Flag of China. Since there are Two Chinas, why not combine the flag of the Republic of China into one the same way as the Flag of Syria? Both entities are actually one China. 135.23.144.238 (talk) 04:24, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Merge Microsoft Surface phone into Microsoft Surface. I created the Microsoft Surface phone article but since its being debated for deletion, some have proposed for it to be merged into the main Microsoft Surface article and I agree with them since although Microsoft had a recent hardware announcement they still have not yet announced the upcoming or so called surface phone. The Surface phone has had many references but not enough for the Surface phone to have its own article. Once the Phone has been announced officially by Microsoft I'll support the article to be recreated but for now I suspect the best course of action is to merge both articles together.
