This page has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared.

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.

Category mergers should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

Template mergers should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion.

[edit] How to propose a merger

Proposing a merger can be done in three steps:

1. Create a place for discussion. Go to the talk page of one of the articles and create a section to discuss the merger. If there's already a discussion on the talk page regarding the merger, you can omit this step. The section name can be anything, for example ==Proposed merger from Page1==.
2. Put one of the merger tags at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{merge}}, {{mergefrom}} and {{mergeto}} 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.

[edit] Automatically-generated log

For each month, a list of up to 100 requests is generated by a bot. When the merge templates have been removed by the articles in question, they will be taken off the list.

[edit] Requests for assistance and feedback

In general, this section should be used to solicit outside feedback regarding mergers that are either tricky or of a controversial nature. 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.

• If you want to show off your work, use the talk page.
• If you need help with renaming or moving, consult Help:Moving a page.
• For guidance on merging, consult Wikipedia:Integrate.
• Cut and paste move fixes: To request page histories to be merged, list them at cut and paste move repairs.

• Merge Banco de Oro Universal Bank into Banco de Oro. The pages should be merged because the former article simply holds information about the history of the organization, which should have been incorporated into the main article. Discuss here. Handtell (talk) 12:48, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

• Merge List of monarchs by nickname and List of people by nickname. I created the second article not knowing the first one existed. The first article lists only monarchs but non-monarchs and fictional characters have had similar nicknames. Examples include Joe the Plumber, Larry the Cable Guy, Winnie the Pooh, and Jabba the Hutt.

• Merge List_of_best-selling_music_artists and List_of_best-selling_album_artists: The latter seems to be an independent re-invention of the wheel, which is much younger and of much lower quality than the former. A note is present on the latters talk page. Unfortunately, the former is currently write-protected, and I am unable to add the merge tag.88.77.177.119 (talk) 01:32, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
• Merge Software_as_a_secure_service into Software as a service as a subsection.--TParis00ap (talk) 02:27, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

(Discussion) / edg ☺ ☭ 14:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
• Merge Wellesley Hills (Boston and Albany station) into Wellesley Hills (MBTA station), since the content and history of the B&A article can also be tied into that of the MBTA article. ----DanTD (talk) 02:13, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
• Merge Palmer (Boston and Albany station) into Union Station (Palmer, Massachusetts) - Both articles clearly describe the same location, and even include the same restaurant that occupies the building. ----DanTD (talk) 13:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

• Merge Too Beautiful to Live with Luke Burbank - A consensus to not merge seems to have been reached, but if anyone involved tries to end this debate that is anywhere close to involved, its going to degenerate into personal attacks and general incivility --Gold Man60 Talk 05:07, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
• Merge List of Super Bowl lead-out programs with Post-Super Bowl television shows. The lists are essentially the same, but both articles have completely different references.

• Proposed Emu attacks in Australia to be merged into Emu, discuss at Talk:Emu#Merge_discussion. Not notable enough on its own. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:53, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
• Octopus attacks in Australia has been proposed to be merged back into Blue-ringed octopus, discuss at Talk:Blue-ringed_octopus#merge_with_Octopus_attacks_in_Australia. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:01, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
• Merge zoosexuality into zoophilia. I know it's going to be very controversial ... considering... so adding it here as well. They mean the exact same thing and repeat themselves. Zoosexual article discusses bestiality and zoophilia much more than zoosexuality and the terms are used interchangably. They are synonyms. Discuss it here.
• Merge Underwater Cabinet Meeting into Maldives. The discussion here has been stagnant for quite a while. Jhbuk (talk) 18:20, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

• Merge The Road (song) into Superheist. I would just do it without discussion since there seems to be little attention given to the page since its creation, but I cannot figure out what to do about the disambiguation page, or lack thereof. The Road (disambiguation) has no mention of this song page, and I have no experience with disambiguation pages so I just don't know how to deal with it since it would seem to need an entry there before creating a redirect.Riverpa (talk) 02:11, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
• Merge Tilt (poker) and Steam (poker). Discuss here. PokitJaxx (talk) 17:27, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
