Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Proposed article mergers is a noticeboard that aims to complement the article merging process, by providing a place to request input for an ongoing merge discussion, or assistance to carry out an approved merger. It does not replace any step of the merging process, and listing an ongoing merger discussion here is purely optional.

To see all articles templated for merging, see § All articles tagged for merging, as well as Category:Articles to be merged.

How to use this page

[edit]

What this page is for

[edit]
  • Requesting input to help establish consensus in an existing merge discussion
  • Requesting assistance to carry out an already approved merger. This might be needed because it is technically difficult to carry out, involve particularly big articles, controversial material, at least one article assessed as B-class or higher, etc.

What this page is NOT for

[edit]

Before posting

[edit]

Before requesting feedback or assistance, make sure you have completed the following steps:

  • Check that your request does not fall into one of the cases above
  • If it is to gather input, that there is one or more reasons to merge, while the proposal does not face reasons not to
  • Verify that every step listed at Wikipedia:Merging § Proposing a merge has been followed; if not, complete the process, either until step 2 (tagging the pages with the appropriate banners) if it is a request for input, or step 4 (closing the discussion) if it is a request for assistance

What your post should contain

[edit]
  • The pages/sections involved
  • The direction of the merger discussed
  • A link to the merge discussion
  • Your signature (generated by writing ~~~~)
  • For requests for assistance, please also summarize the outcome of the discussion, and why assistance is needed. Any reason is valid as long as it is stated.

Requests missing any of these may be ignored. After a merge is listed properly, move it to the "Answered requests" or "Awaiting consensus" sections below as appropriate.

Merge requests

[edit]

Please list new requests at the bottom of the New Requests section. Precede your request with *'''Merge''', and include all elements listed just above at What your post should contain.

Awaiting consensus

[edit]

After all involved articles are tagged for merger discussion: the request should be added to the bottom of this section. This section can also be used if a proposal needs further discussion due to age or disagreement. All merger comments and discussions should be directed to the Discussion subsection of the targeted articles' talk page, not here. The purpose of this page is directing more people to comment on such proposals at the appropriate talk pages.

Articles tagged, please join the discussion at Talk:Ala_kachuu#Merge proposal. Choucas0 🐦‍⬛💬📋 22:40, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Answered requests

[edit]

After the associated merge discussion has been closed, please move the request to the bottom of one of the three following subsections, with the corresponding marking:

  • {{Working}} (shows as  Working) if the merge has been approved but not done yet. Once it has been done it can be moved to the following subsection;
  • {{Merge done}} (shows as   checkY Merger complete. ) if the merger has been approved and completed;
  • {{Not done}} (shows as  Not done) if there was consensus against merging, or no consensus.

@Voorts: Hey there. I took it upon myself to complete the merge after closing the discussion. Hopefully, I completed all the necessary steps. This is only the second time I've performed a merge. I only merged a small portion of the text into the target page. The reason being (1) Much of it was already covered in the target page. (2) A lot of the content on the page that was to be redirected was unsourced, or the references cited were bogus in that they did not verify the cited text. I would say it was even liberal to merge the text that I did. I will leave it up to the rest of the community to decide if anything more should be added or removed. Cheers. --Griboski (talk) 02:20, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
