{{Short description|Merge requests and logs}}

{{Shortcut|[[WP:DA]]}}

Below is a '''list of duplicate articles''' that have been created mostly by mistake. They have to be merged into a single piece of work, and one title has to be redirected to the other (or a completely new page must be created) in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]] and [[Wikipedia:Canonicalization]].

{{Redirect|WP:PM|page moves|Wikipedia:Requested moves|page history mergers|Wikipedia:Requests for history merge|the user right for moving pages|Wikipedia:Page mover}}

Categories that need merging can be listed (together) on [[Wikipedia:Categories for deletion]] where one category will be deleted after merging into the other.

{{Shortcut|WP:PM|WP:PAM||}}

'''Proposed article mergers''' is a [[WP:PNB|noticeboard]] for active discussions to merge articles. Before listing a merge discussion here, read [[Wikipedia:Merging]] and initiate a discussion on the article's talk page. Listing an ongoing merge discussion here is purely optional, but can help reach consensus. You can ask for help at the [[WP:Help desk|help desk]] if needed.

Although this page does not automatically update as does [[:Category:Articles to be merged]], this page has nevertheless been kept because unlike the category page, this page allows editors to make comments about the articles to be merged.

If a merge is unlikely to be contested, you can [[WP:BOLD|be bold]] and complete it without initiating a discussion. If your merger is later contested, another editor can [[WP:BRD|revert and discuss it]].

If you disagree with a 'merge' indication then you can remove it, or change the template from <nowiki>{{Merge}}</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{MergeDisputed}}</nowiki> and discuss it on this page until consensus is reached.

This noticeboard is ''not'' for:

{{resources for collaboration}}

* Proposing article mergers without starting a discussion on the article's talk page;

* Discussing merge proposals; a link to the merge discussion should be included in the request. Consensus for a merge should be reached there, not on this noticeboard: comments of support or opposition may be removed.

* Listing article splits or moves; see [[Wikipedia:Proposed article splits|Proposed article splits]] and [[Wikipedia:Moving a page|Moving a page]];

* Listing merges for non-article pages; use [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|Categories for discussion]] and [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion|Templates for discussion]] instead;

* Requesting history merges: use [[Wikipedia:Requests for history merge]] instead.

__NOTOC__

{{shortcut|WP:MERGEREQ|WP:PMGO}}

To tag the articles and initiate a merge discussion, follow the instructions at {{section link|Wikipedia:Merging#Procedure}}. Once the articles have been tagged and a discussion has been opened, you can list the merge to the '''bottom''' of this list. Listings that do not link to an active discussion '''may be removed''' from this noticeboard.

Format:

== Proactive action: avoiding duplicates ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

The creation of duplicate articles, and the wasted effort this causes, can be '''avoided by creating lots of [[wikipedia:redirect|redirect]]s'''. Also, when creating new articles, [[wikipedia:search|search]] for existing articles on the same subject (when search is enabled).

* '''Merge''' [[Source page]] into [[Destination page]]. {{Discussing|talkpage=Talk:Destination page#Section name}} ~~~~

</syntaxhighlight>

If consensus to merge is reached on the article's talk page, the listing on this noticeboard can be moved into the [[#Successful requests, merger pending|section for successful proposals]] below and tagged with <code><nowiki>{{Await}}</nowiki> <nowiki>'''</nowiki>Awaiting merge...<nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>. If consensus ''against'' merging is reached, the listing can be tagged with <code><nowiki>{{Not done}}</nowiki></code> and it will be archived.

To see all articles currently tagged for merging, see {{section link|#All articles tagged for merging}}, as well as [[:Category:Articles to be merged]].

[[Wikipedia:Orphaned Articles]] lists articles that aren't linked to, and may have been created when a new article was created without having searched for a previously existing article.

----<!-- List begins below this line. Add new proposals to the BOTTOM of the list. -->

== Mark current duplicates ==

*'''Merge''' [[WANF-LD]] into [[WMC-TV]]. These articles were previously merged without consensus by [[User:BMarGlines]]. I'm putting this here so that other editors can weigh in. [[User:Mvcg66b3r|Mvcg66b3r]] ([[User talk:Mvcg66b3r|talk]]) 00:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

If you find a pair of articles which appear to be duplicates, merge them! If you can't carry out the merge yourself, it is suggested that you put the following at top of each:

*:Articles tagged and merger discussion area set up [[Talk:WMC-TV#Proposed merger|here.]] [[Special:Contributions/100.7.34.111|100.7.34.111]] ([[User talk:100.7.34.111|talk]]) 14:30, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[WFET-LD]] into [[WTNX-LD]]. These articles were previously merged without consensus by [[User:BMarGlines]]. I'm putting this here so that other editors can weigh in. [[User:Mvcg66b3r|Mvcg66b3r]] ([[User talk:Mvcg66b3r|talk]]) 00:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[SUNY Downstate Medical Center]] into [[SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University]]. Both articles describe the same institution, which operates under the unified name "SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University" and includes educational components (College of Medicine, School of Public Health, etc.) and University Hospital. The scope of the articles seem slightly different with the latter of the two only discussing educational components. If any arm of the university warrants a seperate article, it would probably be University Hospital, but the [[SUNY Downstate Medical Center#University Hospital of Brooklyn]] section seems too scant to stand on its own yet. Posting here for guidance since I’m a new editor. [[User:Hypogea|Hypogea]] ([[User talk:Hypogea|talk]]) 22:52, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

*: Update: I think I did this correctly? I started a discussion at [[Talk:SUNY_Downstate_Health_Sciences_University#Merge_proposal]] and tagged both pages. [[User:Hypogea|Hypogea]] ([[User talk:Hypogea|talk]]) 20:11, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[Cardiopulmonary exercise test]] into [[Cardiac stress test]]. Rationale: The two articles are similar and overlapping. Each has excellent information. Each will benefit from the inclusion of the material from the other. 🇵🇸&zwj;🇺🇦&nbsp;[[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>^{<small>Timtrent</small>}]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>^{<small>Talk&nbsp;to&nbsp;me</small>}]]&nbsp;🇺🇦&zwj;🇵🇸 07:14, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' I propose merging or even redirecting [[2024 Men's T20 World Cup group stage]], [[2024 Men's T20 World Cup Super 8 stage]], and [[2024 Men's T20 World Cup knockout stage]] into [[2024 Men's T20 World Cup]]. The three articles mentioned are all [[WP:REDUNDANTFORK]]s of the main article; there is very little information found in any of them that isn't in [[2024 Men's T20 World Cup]].

*'''Merge''' [[Spermatozoon]] into [[Sperm]]. Almost all information in the articles could be in either of them. [[User:Lophotrochozoa|Lophotrochozoa]] ([[User talk:Lophotrochozoa|talk]]) 14:48, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[List of academic fields]] into [[Outline of academic disciplines]]. The lists almost entirely overlap. There was already a merge discussion initiated on both talk pages, but it didn't turn into a merge proposal. The lists are very extensive, and there are significant structural differences that might benefit from discussion and feedback before merging, especially from [[WP:WPLIST]]. I'm not an experienced editor and don't know how to get this started. [[User:正负号|正负号]] ([[User talk:正负号|talk]]) 18:22, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[Huế]] with [[Huế (provincial city)]]. With the entirety of Thừa Thiên Huế province being upgraded into a centrally-administered city, the latter article is now both defunct and redundant, and should be merged into the main page. The Climate, Culture and Infrastructure sections have already been copied over and are identical between the two pages, so there's only the Geography and History sections left to be ported over.--[[User:Pantegral|Pantegral]] ([[User talk:Pantegral|talk]]) 14:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[Triângulo Mineiro]] with [[Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba (mesoregion)]]. I recommend merging the Triângulo Mineiro article with the Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba (mesoregion) article, as they represent the same geographic area. Moreover, the Triângulo Mineiro article was created without the use of any references in its outline. Thanks in advance!

*'''Merge''' [[Criticism of desktop Linux]] to [[Criticism of Linux]]. An editor splitted them in 2010. However, I believe that it would be best if these two articles were merged. [[User:Greatder|Greatder]] ([[User talk:Greatder|talk]]) 07:14, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[Instrumental and value-rational action]] with [[Instrumental and value rationality]]. Both are about the theories that follow from [[Max Weber]]'s work (zweckrational vs wertrational), and both need to be cut down significantly.[[User:Drew Stanley|Drew Stanley]] ([[User talk:Drew Stanley|talk]]) 20:17, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[Energy amplifier]] into [[Accelerator-driven subcritical reactor]]. They are as far as I can tell fully identical nuclear power concepts. Each article has very different coverage, but the latter is a far better title. [[User:Doeze|Doeze]] ([[User talk:Doeze|talk]]) 23:37, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' ''[[Gordon_R._Dickson%27s_SF_Best]]'' to ''[[In_the_Bone]]'', the latter an expanded version of the same collection. The second article could also do with retitling. [[Special:Contributions/38.42.207.195|38.42.207.195]] ([[User talk:38.42.207.195|talk]]) 00:40, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[John Q. Public]] into [[Placeholder name]] as the former is one of many examples of the latter. Each article is very short on its own, but contains information that belongs in the other, to the point both articles would become redundant.

*'''Merge''' [[DWPM]] to [[DZMM]]. The Metro Manila station on 630 kHz that used the DWPM callsign reverts back to the old callsign (DZMM) at 8 PM (Philippine time) of May 29th as per relevant wiki policies on radio station callsigns. This will ensure a linear continuation of a station's history rather than having a divergent article that ultimately had a short lifespan [[User:KuyaStephenAlaEH|KuyaStephenAlaEH]] ([[User talk:KuyaStephenAlaEH|talk]]) 11:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' [[Wicked (film franchise)]] into [[The Wicked Years]]. Considering that the film adaptation was originally supposed to be one film before it was split in half, it feels egregious to have an entire page dedicated to the adaptation and to imply that there are more films in the works, especially when ''[[Wicked: For Good]]'' hasn't even come out yet. A better alternative would be to have a general franchise page with information related to the original novels, the stage musical, and the two-part film. Although the musical and film adaptations are more closely tied to each other than the novels, all three share the same general plot, characters, and themes. In my [[User:J·B·D/sandbox|sandbox]] I've drafted a hypothetical version of what the final merged page could be like. [[User:J·B·D|J·B·D]] ([[User talk:J·B·D|talk]]) 20:17, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

This marks the pages so that future viewers will see that it needs to be merged. If you know which way the merge should go, you can put the following at the top of the article where the merged material should end up:

*'''Merge''' [[Obvious strategyproofness]] into [[Strategyproofness]]. A stub subtopic that should be up-merged. It was boldly merged but reverted. Little discussion happening, so more input needed for consensus.

*'''Merge''' [[Hyperthermophile]] into [[Thermophile]] (for the title, but the content of the first article should be kept, being more qualitative). Rationale: hyperthermophiles are juste a peculiar case of thermophiles, and the content of the article "hyperthermophile" could perfectly fit as a paragraph in the article "thermophile" (the latter article even has an intermediate category "extreme thermophiles", which understandably has no separate article).

== Successful requests, merger pending ==

Many wikipedia users prefer to avoid having tags at the top of articles, particularly if it's not relevant to the reader of the article. Consider using these tags sparingly, and use the discussion page to discuss how to merge articles where it's not obvious whether or how the article should be merged.

{{hatnote|You can help by following instructions at [[WP:Merging#How to merge]].}}

{{see also|Category:Pages currently being merged|Category:Articles to be merged after an Articles for deletion discussion}}

When there is consensus to merge, please move the request '''to the bottom''' of this list. If you are currently working on the merge, reply to the request with <code><nowiki>{{doing}}</nowiki></code>. When the merge has been completed, reply to the request with <code><nowiki>{{Merge done}}</nowiki></code> and it will be archived.

== How articles should be merged ==

Before you begin with the process of merging the articles, it is recommended that you take these advices into consideration:

*Usually, an experienced user will suggest that one article (the source) be absorbed into another (the target).

*Read both articles carefully and decide which article has the more appropriate title and content.

*Merge the content by copying/pasting from one window to another. Be sure not to allow any of the good content to be lost in the transfer.

*While the merging takes place, it is recommended that you place the '''<nowiki>{{merging | target=</nowiki>''Target article name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>''' template on the page that you will merge ''from'' (the source page). In this way, confusion will be avoided, as others will know that the source page is outdated, and that all further contributions should be included in the target page.

*'''Upon completion, it is critical to place a [[wikipedia:redirect|redirect]] on the page that the content has been moved ''from''.''' For example, if you move the content of "John Ronald Doe" into "John Doe" you would put a redirect on "John Ronald Doe". This helps people find the new article title and prevents others from mistakenly recreating the duplicate.

*If you copy material from one article to the other, you must explain in your edit comment that you have done so, giving the name of the source article, for example "<nowiki>Merged material from [[John Ronald Doe]] into section "Biography"</nowiki>." This is important so that all contributors to the article can be properly credited, as required by the [[GFDL]].

*'''Merge''' [[Foldex cat]] (in summarized form) to [[List of experimental cat breeds#Foldex]]. Seems marginally encyclopedic enough to list there, but unlikely to pass [[WP:GNG]]. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''']] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] 😼 </span> 02:41, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Alternatively, you could also leave the two pages distinct (without a redirect), but complete the text of one of the pages so that it is no longer a duplicate, incorrect, or a [[Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub|stub]]. For example, someone might suggest that the "Cinema of India" and "History of Indian Cinema" be merged, as they contain mostly duplicate information. In this case "Cinema of India" should contain an overview of the subject, including a short summary of the history, with a link to "History of Indian Cinema" which should contain the detailed history.

*[[genderfuck]] and [[genderqueer]] - isn't "genderfuck" simply the same thing as Genderqueer, just with obsanity tacked on for shock value? [[User:Arcuras|Arcuras]] 21:03, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

**Not really the same thing, imo. genderqueer is generally about self identity, genderfuck is about using gender to mess with people's heads. The problem with many of these terms is that they're highly politicised and it's difficult to get two people to agree on definitions; I do think they're sufficiently different though. [[User:Rho|Rho]] 23:08, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

*[[Googolgon]] into [[googol]] [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Googolgon|per VfD]]

* [[Hammer Films]] and [[Hammer Horror]]

** Both have a right to exist, but someone who knows the subject should work out which information belongs in which article

* [[Hawkish]] into [[Militarism]] since Hawk describes a militarist.

** Nonsense. Hawk and Dove are primarily terms used to describe relative positions, in a particular military decision, within a commander-in-chief's advisers. Militarism's primary meaning is about the role of the military in a society, or about how much effort to give in the long term to military capabilities. In most states with a stable polity, both militarists and pacifists are outside the decision-making, and calling them hawks and doves respectively is just careless metaphorizing. --[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]][[User talk:Jerzy|(t)]] 04:55, 2004 Aug 14 (UTC)

**QV [[Dovish]], a redirect to [[Pacifism]]. Perhaps Hawkish should redirect to a different article? --[[User:Rossumcapek|Rossumcapek]] 05:07, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

* [[Letterbox]] and [[Widescreen]] ([[Pan and scan]] is an opposite)

** All seperate concepts, all deserve own article. Alternatively, merge [[Letterbox]] and [[Pan and scan]] into [[Widescreen]] under '''Reformatting widescreen to full screen'''.

*[[List of people known by one name]] and [[List of people whose surname is not commonly known]] have a lot of overlap.

*[[List of soccer positions]], a badly-named article (it's not really a list) created by me, should perhaps be merged with the separate articles at [[defender (football)]], [[midfielder]], [[striker]], [[goalkeeper]], [[fullback]] (and probably others that I haven't found). --[[User:Lancevortex|Lancevortex]] 13:26, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

** It's now at [[football (soccer) positions]] and I've linked it from elsewhere to see how the other editors normally interested in football will react.

*[[Loop quantum gravity]] and [[Loop gravity]]. These articles give two opposing views of the subject (in fact [[Loop gravity]] doesn't expose the subject at all but only the view), and should be merged into one NPOV article by a very bold and competent physicist. -- [[User:Pjacobi|Pjacobi]] 11:17, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC) Having looked into this, I disagree with that. The LQG article is already too long. Those two articles need further work for NPOV, clearly; but there is just too much detail posted now to have it all on one page.

* [[Slavic mythology]] needs to be merged with [[Polish mythology]] [[User:Ausir|Ausir]] 08:22, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

:<s>The latter is sufficiently different to merit a separate article</s> (though right now both pages are just lists...) -[[User:Gtrmp|Sean Curtin]] 07:57, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

::The point is, they are NOT different. There is no "Polish mythology", it was just a west-slavic variant of the Slavic mythology. It's just the impression this article gives. [[User:Ausir|Ausir]] 18:28, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* [[Slogan:Homosexuality is a choice]].

** This article was apparently supposed to be merged somewhere and deleted, but it was deleted without being merged, then undeleted. Should it be merged with [[Causes of sexual orientation]], or should there be a single but separate article on the choice/no-choice debate? An argument against merger: VFD seems to be on the verge of deciding that the advocates of environmental and genetic causes for sexual orientation should have their own articles. In any case, there obviously needs to be choice/no-choice fairness. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] 09:27, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*** There is also [[Slogan:homosexuality is a choice]] I made it a redirect as it was almost identicle. [[User:MeltBanana|MeltBanana]] 23:41, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

** No, this should be merged with [[Enviromental basis for sexual orientation]]. See [[WP:COTW#Environmental_basis_for_sexual_orientation]]. [[User:Neutrality|[[User:Neutrality|<b>Neutrality</b>]] ([[User talk:Neutrality|talk]])]] 17:03, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

* [[Sonogram]] with [[spectrogram]].

**At least in N America, sonogram refers to the film of an ultrasound scan as often as it does sound spectrogram. Perhaps a dismbiguation sentence under sonogram and merge the current content into spectrogram? (I don't know anything about speech sonograms/spectrograms, so that is just a suggestion)

*[[Southhold]] and [[Southhold, NY]] into [[Southold (town), New York]] (actually, I believe the first article has everything the second does--I didn't make the latter a redir just in case someone thinks it's important to preserve that single entry in the history), then redir from the first two.

*[[Widecombe]] and [[Widecombe-in-the-Moor]]. The former contains substantially more detail, and nothing that is not contained in the latter. The correct name is Widecombe-in-the-Moor, but the village is more commonly referred to as Widecombe. Is the simple version sufficiently unusual to remain as the main entry?

**No, the corrent name is [[Widecombe-in-the-Moor]]; that is therefore where I have moved it to. The article that was at WitM was an exact copy of some of the text at [[Widecombe]] so it was a straight delete/move, no merging necessary. -- [[User:Francs2000|Graham &#9786;]] | [[User talk:Francs2000|Talk]] 11:21, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

*[[Witch trial]] and [[Burning Times]] into [[witch-hunt]]. -[[User:Gtrmp|Sean Curtin]] 05:31, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

**hmm... Witch-hunt is used as a verb and still goes on. there needs to be some type of differentiation. maybe with-hunt seperate from the other 2 [[User:Williamb|Williamb]] 06:39, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

**"Witch hunt" is the more common term. For example, [[Burning Times]] refers exclusively to "witch hunts", not once to "witch trials". Google hits for "witch trial": 11K; for "witch hunt", 271K; for "witchcraft trial", 2K; for "Burning Times", 26K. Uses of the term "witch-hunt" in reference to modern-day activities should be discussed in the article, not moved to a separate article. -[[User:Gtrmp|Sean Curtin]] 00:07, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*[[Wikipedia:Browser notes]] into [[meta:Browser issues with MediaWiki]]. --[[User:Zigger|Zigger]] 12:28, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

** there could be a case to leaving them separated, firstoff, the two projects use difrent character encoding, secondly the wiki one seems to be along the lins of, if you have x browere, then you might have x problems, where as the meta one seems like, there are the known issues with meta. although i think that may just bee a diffrence in style.
