*'''Merge''' : I propose merging [[Object theory]] into [[Object language]], as the former article is based around a grave misunderstanding of the latter - it seems somebody had confused the phrase "object theory" for being a distinct area of mathematics, rather than merely a theory (in the sense of [[Model theory]]) which is the object of a metatheory (in the sense of [[Object language]]). Some authors will use the phrases "object language" and "object theory" synonymously, whereas others will only use the former term in reference to the underlying language of the object theory, absent of rules of inference or axioms - in either case, it certainly isn't whatever the author of [[Object language]] seems to be suggesting.

Revision as of 12:50, 27 August 2021
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; it is an index of ongoing discussions of possible mergers, and 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. To see all articles marked for merging, see All articles tagged for merging.
Note
Mergers of CATEGORIES should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
Mergers of TEMPLATES should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion.
SPLITTING of ARTICLES should not be proposed here. Please see Wikipedia:Proposed article splits.
When to propose a merger
There are three types of mergers on Wikipedia:
- 1): Mergers that are so obviously necessary and appropriate that no one is expected to object;
- 2): Mergers that would benefit from discussion with the other editors at the affected articles' Talk page about whether and/or how to perform the merge; and
- 3): Mergers that are controversial, potentially difficult to carry out, or where at least one affected article is either rated Class B or higher or is over 100K in size will need assistance from uninvolved editor(s) in determining whether to merge the pages.
If the pages that you would like to merge fall into the type 1 group above, then it is not necessary to propose a merger at all. You should boldly do the merger now, without formally proposing it. (In the event that someone unexpectedly objects, then the merger can be undone easily, and you can formally propose the merger for discussion at that time.)
How to propose a merger
If the merge falls into the type 2 group or type 3 group above, then proposing a merger can be done in three steps (as the proposer, you should still be willing to carry-out a type 2 merge):
- Step 1: Create a place for discussion. Go to the Talk Page (also known as the discussion page) of the TARGET ARTICLE (the one you want to merge to) and create a section (eg: "Merger proposal") to discuss the merger. If there's already a discussion on the talk page regarding the merger, you can omit this step. Whether the discussion is new or old, make sure the discussion section names all articles involved and links to them. The section name can be anything that includes the word merge (for example
==Merger discussion==
). - Step 2: Put one of the merger tags at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{Merge from}} and {{Merge to}}, or {{merge}} 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).
- Step 3: If the proposed merge is type 3 (above) follow the directions under #Requests for merge assistance and feedback to add it to the list.
See: Copy and Paste easy merge templates for easy to follow shortcuts of the above procedure.
Requests for merge assistance and feedback
If you need outside feedback regarding mergers that are either tricky or of a controversial nature, please do the following:
- Tag the article as shown above
- Create a discussion as shown above
- Notify the talk page of the appropriate Wikiproject to get knowledgeable people to comment on it. (To find out which Wikiproject the page is associated with, check the associated talk page. It should be tagged with a template, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey.)
- If there is consensus to merge, but the merge is difficult, request help at Merge Talk for assistance.
For other topics:
- If you need help with renaming or moving, consult Wikipedia:Moving a page.
- Cut-and-paste move fixes: If you have moved an article by this deprecated method, then you need to request page histories to be merged; list them at requests for history merge. Please DO NOT perform further moves by cut and paste.
NOTE: Please do not re-list old merge proposals that are already tagged and in the "to Merge" queue (including requests made up to two years ago), as these will be handled as we get to them. -Project Merge
If you need assistance with proposing a merge, list it below and someone will make sure it's properly listed. Note that this will not get the merge completed, as there is a large merge backlog. After a merge is listed properly, move it to the "Answered requests" or "Awaiting consensus" sections below as appropriate.
Merge requests
Please list new requests at the bottom of New Requests section.
- 1) Preceed your request with *Merge (Copy and Paste it);
- 2) Enter (at least) a link to the article to be redirected in the edit summary;.
- 3) Please legitimize your request by signing each listing or comment by typing four tildes (~~~~); remember, unsigned requests may not be honored.
NEW REQUESTS
- Merge : I propose merging Draft:Nothing (Company), Draft:Nothing (Tech Company) and Draft:Nothing (Technology Company) as they are all on the exact same subject. The best article of these is Draft:Nothing (Technology Company) as it is by far the longest and has the most sources, includes an infobox and image.WhenYouWiki (A person) (Talk) 10:12, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Merge : I propose merging Object theory into Object language, as the former article is based around a grave misunderstanding of the latter - it seems somebody had confused the phrase "object theory" for being a distinct area of mathematics, rather than merely a theory (in the sense of Model theory) which is the object of a metatheory (in the sense of Object language). Some authors will use the phrases "object language" and "object theory" synonymously, whereas others will only use the former term in reference to the underlying language of the object theory, absent of rules of inference or axioms - in either case, it certainly isn't whatever the author of Object language seems to be suggesting. Discussion here. Jackcrawf3 (talk) 12:49, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
AWAITING CONSENSUS
After all involved articles are tagged for merger discussion, the request should be added at (or moved 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. We will also attempt to get more people to comment on proposals.
- Merge: I propose to merge UNSW Faculty of Built Environment, UNSW Art & Design and UNSW Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences into UNSW Faculty of Arts, Design & Architecture as these faculties have been merged into the one faculty as of 2021. Cropmy5 (talk) 14:48, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

- Cmnt: Most developed article has been redirected to end title, other mergers should occur there. GenQuest "scribble" 15:42, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Merge: I propose merging British National (Overseas) passport into British National (Overseas) and British passport. The BN(O) passport article has significant overlap with the other two. Background information for the status itself is covered in great detail in the main BN(O) article. Information like endorsements, physical appearance, and issuance are all dealt with in the British passport article. Given that almost the entire BN(O) passport article duplicates information already detailed in the other two articles, I feel that it should be considered for merging. Additionally, the article contains entire sections that are uncited or very poorly cited and contains non-free images (all UK passport images continue to be covered under Crown copyright).

- Merge I propose merging Giant peccary with Collared peccary. The giant peccary has not been accepted as a valid species by any major zoological authority. It has instead been listed as a synonym for the collared peccary. I believe the proposed description/historic information of the giant peccary should merely take up a section in the Collared peccary article. Porqaz (talk) 22:26, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

- Merge: Cherokee War of 1776 into Cherokee–American wars; Proposer's Rationale: These two events are hard to separate from each other. The opening volley of the decades long struggle of the C–A wars was, in fact, the events described in the neolistic Cherokee War of 1776 article. The names these events have garnered through the years are perhaps better suited and explained in one article, within the context of the over-arching Cherokee–American wars. Articles are tagged, and the discussion can be found at Talk:Cherokee–American wars#Merge proposal. Thanks. GenQuest "scribble" 22:47, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Merge: I propose merging the SIT Graduate Institute and SIT Study Abroad articles into the existing School for International Training page (which currently misleadingly redirects to the SIT Graduate Institute article). SIT is one single, small institution with two primary departments. The existence of these two separate articles is redundant. The information about SIT Study Abroad and SIT Graduate Institute would be better presented as sections within the School for International Training article which should rightfully present information about the institution as a whole. It's odd that Wikipedia would maintain two articles about departments within a school but not have an article about the actual school itself. The renewed School for International Training article schould also include updated logos from the institution, as the ones on the two separate pages right now appear to be outdated.

- Merge: I propose merging Tuskegee Syphilis Study (71k, B class), Guatemala syphilis experiments (26k), and Terre Haute prison experiments (2k) as United States Public Health Service Syphilis Studies. The primary reason is to more appropriately name the articles for the funding, initiating, controlling party. Separating into three articles, each with location as the first word inappropriately obscures the driving party in all three cases, and connections between the three cases. In the seminal informed consent cases of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, the reference names identify compounds erected or seized explicitly for inhumane purposes -- so using those names besmirches no good deeds. Moreover, Auschwitz and Buchenwald are now closed memorials. Though local governance failed to protect their charges from PHS abuse, PHS was the controlling actor, and earned the title role. Wikipedia should not continue with titles that invite misinterpretation. COVID-19 makes 2021 an especially bad time to highlight PHS errors. Still, we Wikipedians face a recurring challenge: Where the most common phrasing distorts the known history by misreporting agency, highlighting minor parties instead of major/controlling parties -- should we continue to reinforce that distortion because it's common/popular? While merging would make a long article, it would be far from our longest. Bringing the articles together could better convey the connected nature of the events and improve overall reader understanding. The articles should be merged and renamed -- even if we postpone publishing the revision for some agreed interval. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:LoneStarNot (talk • contribs)

- Merge : I propose merging Tor Phone into Tor (network). Tor Browser is already merged there, and Tor Phone isn't relevant enough to have another article. Also it(tor phone) has lots of [unneccessary text](https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Tor_Phone&action=history) --Greatder (talk) 05:02, 17 August 2021 (UTC)`

- Merge: I propose to merge Grigori i Durrësit into Gregory of Durrës as both of them are on the same person. There is one scholar that thinks they might be two different people, but that opinion should be clearly stated inside the article. Anna Comnena (talk) 07:38, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

- Merge: Third Oli cabinet to Second Oli cabinet: Second oli cabinet and Third oli cabinet are not different and the only difference is they come under second premiership and third premiership respectively as mentioned above. So a section for third premiership in same article, Second Oli cabinet can address both. Even the national medias term this as cabinet reshuffle. Can you deny this? It can be termed as second term of same cabinet as all the ministers remained same and same ministers took oath. Even their article suggest no Third Oli cabinet! Can you deny this? Fifth Deuba Cabinet, 2021 mentions it's preceded by Second Oli cabinet. Second Oli cabinet says it's succeeded by Fifth Deuba Cabinet, 2021. Isn't it? Except this article, you may not find this awkward topic, Third Oli cabinet any where. 43.245.86.16 (talk) 07:43, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
