Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers

Proposed article mergers is a 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.

This noticeboard is not for:

• Proposing mergers without starting a discussion on the article's talk page. Listings that do not link to a merge discussion may be removed from this noticeboard.
• Discussing proposed merges. A link to the merge discussion should be included in the listing and consensus to merge should be reached there, not on this noticeboard. Comments of support or opposition may be removed.
• Listing article splits or moves. For these, see Proposed article splits and Moving a page;
• Listing merges for non-article pages.Use the Categories for discussion and Templates for discussion processes instead;

If a merge is unlikely to be contested, you can be bold and complete it without initiating a discussion. If your merge is later contested, another editor can revert and discuss it. To see all articles currently tagged for merging, see § All articles proposed for merging, as well as Category:Articles to be merged. If consensus to merge is reached on the article's talk page, the listing on this noticeboard should be moved into the section § Articles currently being merged and tagged with {{Await}} '''Awaiting merge...'''. If consensus against merging is reached, the listing can be tagged with {{Not done}} and it will be archived.

• 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. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 00:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• 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. Hypogea (talk) 22:52, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

• Merge Cardiopulmonary exercise test into Cardiac stress test. Rationale: The two articles are similar and overlapping. Each has excellent information.

• 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. 正负号 (talk) 18:22, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• 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.--Pantegral (talk) 14:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• 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! Shinryushou (talk) 03:55, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• 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 KuyaStephenAlaEH (talk) 11:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• 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 sandbox I've drafted a hypothetical version of what the final merged page could be like. J·B·D (talk) 20:17, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• 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). 176.159.12.72 (talk) 20:18, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Robertjamal12: You did not do any merge here? Tenshi! (Talk page) 17:53, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Tenshi Hinanawi, Hello, I noticed you reverted the merge of Abortion in Egypt, citing that no content was merged. However, the content is already present (same or similar) in Abortion under Egyptian law, and the consensus at the Talk page was to merge and redirect.

  The merge discussion is closed, and the result was to merge the two, as noted by multiple editors. Let me know if you believe some unique content was omitted, happy to review that. Otherwise, I’ll proceed with restoring the merge.

  Thanks! -- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 19:39, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The sentence covering the fatwa issued by Muhammad Sayyid Tantawy and the section covering unsafe abortions I think should be merged, as those are not duplicative of existing content in the article. Tenshi! (Talk page) 19:53, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
