2008

July 2008

• Merge St. Augustine Catholic Church of New Orleans into St. Augustine Church (New Orleans). The second article is the older and has more links to it, but both articles have some good info not in the other. -- Infrogmation (talk) 00:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Celebrations of the September 11, 2001 attacks with Reactions to the September 11, 2001 attacks (discussion here). Not my proposal, but it has gone through so many iterations and !votes now that it desperately needs some outside eyes to help sort things out. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 22:25, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Victor of Damascus with Victor and Corona. What's better, have a joint article for both saints or separate articles for Victor and Stephana/Corona? (Merge proposal here) --FordPrefect42 (talk) 21:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Al-Qaeda in Iraq and Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad. The latter article states that it "gradually became popularly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq", and both articles assert that their subjects are led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi; i.e. they are the same organization.-Samuel Tan 07:12, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Jeremy Stangroom and Ophelia Benson and Butterflies and Wheels and The Dictionary of Fashionable Nonsense: A Guide for Edgy People and The Philosopher's Magazine.

All of these pages have been challenged over notability and defended, albeit at times, I would say, unpleasently and abusively by obviously partisan editors, possibly sockpuppeteers. The pages seem to be linked via the edits of one Nick Mallory.They also appear to 'spin off' from Stangroom, Benson and Baggini's magazine, the Philosopher's Magazine, of which its own notability (although greater) is also questionable. The links for Stangroom's and Benson's site are uncheckable - I suggest that an unfollowable link should not be used to justify a page's existence as on the Butterflies and Wheels page. The link was also misdescribed as being to the Independent (daily newspaper in London) whereas apparently it was to a student advertsing supplement published by the Independent group. There are serious weaknesses in the sources being used on the Ophelia Benson page. That TLS review does not exist online, and there must therefore be doubts that is it ever was as described. Publishing books should not be a sufficient criterion for 'notability' as claimed during the Benson 'notability' review. In the UK alone, there are over 100 000 new books a year! It is true that there are 'some public references' of some sort for the books and so on, and hence I suggest a more sensible compromise would be to lump all the pages under one heading. I don't say what it should be but the obvious choice is to use the existing Philosopher's Magazine page as the start, and then detail both Benson and Stangroom's work under it - and perhaps at this point it would make good logical sense to add Julian Baggini's existing page in too. However, as I see the page is protected at the moment, I willnot try to make it part of this more modest proposal! The aim is to make better sense of the presently rather scattered contributions of the editors, while protecting the integrity of the Encyclopedia . Wikisquirrels (talk) 11:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Territorial acquisitions of the United States and Territorial evolution of the United States. (Merge proposal here)

• Merge History of Saffron, Trade and use of saffron and Saffron, with the first two subsumed into Saffron. Aspects covered in common include the history of saffron, cultivation, trade, cuisine and medicine. Discussion Here. Glane23 (talk) 16:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Bioengineering and Biological Engineering. Both articles cover what is effectively the same topic, it is therefore frivolous to have two. Discussion Here. Gumbacious (talk) 07:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge AT&T 8525, Dopod 838Pro, and Orange SPV M3100 into HTC TyTN. These are all carrier branded versions of the TyTN (also known as the Hermes). Whatever differences they may have could be mentioned in separate sections in HTC TyTN. JCDenton2052 (talk) 19:40, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Koseki, Hukou, and Hoju into Family register These article names are not words found in standard English print dictionaries, and are not proper nouns. They are transliterations of the word for 'family registry' in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean languages, respectively.--Mak Allen (talk) 05:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

*Merge Hartford & New Haven Railroad Depot into Windsor, Connecticut (Amtrak station) or vice-versa. Evidence at this link suggests both locations are one in the same. ----DanTD (talk) 04:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

UPDATE: Merger Completed. ----DanTD (talk) 16:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification - First Round into 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification as there is only two matches involving 2 teams in this round. Not enough detail to sustain a page, although the details are important.Frankie goh (talk) 15:56, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Agree. Merged.RaLo18 22:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Homebrewing beer into Homebrewing. That latter should subsume the former. In fact, the latter is nearly entirely about homebrewing beer anyway. Llamabr (talk) 18:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Shelf cloud and Roll cloud into Arcus cloud as the first two are subset of Arcus (). Proposed by Pierre cb (talk) 05:40, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge RSL Queensland into Returned and Services League of Australia - (). The RSL Queensland article is supposed to be about one branch of RSL, yet has information about the main RSL, all of which should be incorporated into a new section about the branch on the main article. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 15:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Best Of Poison (20 Years Of Rock DVD) into The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock - (). The DVD article merely covers the music videos included in the special edition of The Best of Poison. It would be better to mention the special edition release and add the music videos to the track listing in the main article. -Xnux the Echidna 14:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Randy and Pamela Copus into 2002 (band) - (). The two Copus' do not appear to be notable outside their band. Both articles are stubs and would benefit from being merged into one. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 00:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Sexy Back (Poison song) into SexyBack - (). There is no reason why there needs to be a separate article for Poison's cover of this song. The information needs to be merged into this article. -Xnux the Echidna 23:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge What I Like About You (Poison single) into What I Like About You (song) - (). There is no reason why there needs to be a separate article for Poison's cover of this song. The information needs to be merged into this article. -Xnux the Echidna 23:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge We're An American Band (Poison single) into We're an American Band (song) - (). There is no reason why there needs to be a separate article for Poison's cover of this song. The information needs to be merged into this article. -Xnux the Echidna 23:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Squeeze Box (Poison single) into Squeeze Box (The Who song) - (). There is no reason why there needs to be a separate article for Poison's cover of this song. The information needs to be merged into this article. -Xnux the Echidna 23:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Rock and Roll All Nite (Poison single) into Rock and Roll All Nite - (). There is no reason why there needs to be a separate article for Poison's cover of this song. The information needs to be merged into this article. -Xnux the Echidna 23:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Jewish identity and Who is a Jew? (discussion.) They cover a lot of the same ground and the former is stub-sized. My preference is to merge them into Jewish identity, as a more encycylopedic name. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Supervillainess with Supervillain. I'm not that great with wiki-eiditing, but reckon that the redirects on superheroine and heroine set precedents
• Merge Lacken, County Wicklow into Valleymount . This has caused somewhat of a disagrement but it has been suggested due to the fact that Lacken, County Wicklow is a stub article and Lacken, County Wicklow is in the parish of Valleymount and I'm suggesting this as i don't want to start an edditing war.--Hegan (talk) 20:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Kansas City Chiefs statistics into Kansas City Chiefs. Per WP:NOT#STATS, as stats page is a long list that needs to be cut down into a selective merge into team page. Wikipedia is not in favor of WP:TRIV as first part of stats page demonstrates. --UWMSports (talk) 19:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Roundup into Glyphosate, as proposed at Talk:Glyphosate#Merge. This doesn't seem especially controversial to me, as they are nearly identical, but there were some heated discussions before. Colchicum (talk) 20:15, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Blanchard, Bailey, and Lawrence theory controversy into Blanchard, Bailey, and Lawrence theory‎ - (). Controversy section is a content and or/POV fork. Jokestress (talk) 18:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Carlito's Way: Rise to Power into Carlito's Way - (). Carlito's Way: Rise to Power is a stub and a prequel film which should have started in the main Carlito's Way article. Nreive (talk) 10:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

May 2008

• Merge Monarch into Monarchy —()— substantially overlapping content --Neutrality^talk 06:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Neutrality^talk 06:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Request moved from WP:RM. — AjaxSmack 17:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge UEFA Badge of Honour back into European Champion Clubs' Cup; the refactoring last month was bold but ill-advised; the content not overlapping with the older article is minimal. jnestorius^(talk) 23:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Electronic art music into Electronic music. Reasons cited: Duplicate, Overlap. Support for the existence of the electronic art music article amounts to WP:SYN and probable WP:OR. (discussion)
• Merge List of Ancient Mamodo into List of Zatch Bell! characters. There are notable parts of the list of Ancient Mamodo, but don't necessarily merit their own page, and they should be given their own section in the List of Zatch Bell characters. The rest of the ancient mamodo aren't notable and don't need to be listed.  AcroX  20:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Gun politics in Germany and German Weapons Act into Gun politics in Germany. They adress more or less the same subject and are already almost alike. Gamgee (talk) 15:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Dustin Camp and Brian Deneke into Murder of Brian Deneke or similar article. These two individuals are notable only for murdering and being murdered (respectively); their pages should be merged into a single article about the event. Powers ^T 17:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Chamoli Gopeshwar into Gopeshwar. Both articles refer to the same town; Gopeshwar is the correct name (see the official site) --Lucio Di Madaura (disputationes) 20:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Waterloo Hawks all-time roster into Waterloo Hawks. Waterloo Hawks all-time roster is mostly duplicate information that is already on the Waterloo Hawks page. I merged over position and college of each player unto Hawks page, but it has been reverted by User:SportsMaster twice. He has a conflict of interest with the material as he is the author. Can we get some more thoughts in the merger discussion area so we can get this done! Thanks! Talk:Waterloo Hawks all-time roster -GoHuskies9904 (talk) 22:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge William Jones Cup with Intercontinental Cup (basketball). Both article refer to the same cup. --213.185.7.116 (talk) 13:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Lately (Samantha Mumba song) with Lately (Divine song) as the former is a cover of the latter.
• Merge A Foreign Policy of Freedom into Ron Paul. The former is a book written by the latter that has received little independent coverage. Burzmali (talk) 16:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis into Congenital insensitivity to pain. The former is a subset of the latter, and the articles overlap quite a bit. --Trance Blossom (talk) 01:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Amnon of Mainz and Amram of Mainz. Both articles refer to the same legend. 23:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge the Austin, Texas#History section to the History of Austin, Texas article. The section in the main article is too long to justify both. --Danorton (talk) 19:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Sex and the City (film) into Sex and the City: The Movie. Reasonings have been brought up on Sex and the City: The Movie to keep it as the main page, but users redirected to Sex and the City (film) in the meantime anyways. Have undone the auto redirect and posted Merge tags. Kat Malone (talk) 17:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge De facto with De jure. See discussion at Talk:De_facto#Merge:De_jure. This proposal is one month old and further comments would be interesting. --Gronky (talk) 12:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge British Isles naming dispute with British Isles. Putting the fork into the topic article to aid dispute progress.--Matt Lewis (talk) 00:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge War Stories with More Stories, albums by Unkle, as the latter is not the regular album, just more of the supplemental release, available only in Japan and Australia. -- Kochas (talk) 00:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Sports PNF into PNF stretching. Just would like additional comments on this proposed merge (discussion). --ZimZalaBim ^talk 22:34, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Gold Dinar and Islamic gold dinar. As far I understand them, the two articles are about the same coin currency: (4.25g of 91.7% gold). Comments needed. In particular, more expert knowledge in this area would be helpful. (discussion) -Hamstersanonymous (talk) 18:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Maxwell Show into WMMS (FM). This has been requested for some time. Maxwell Show slightly improved, but not by much. Please put Maxwell Show into a section under WMMS (FM). If merger tags have been removed, it is because a user with a COI has constantly removed them. -GoHuskies9904 (talk) 20:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Yahoo! Fantasy Sports into Yahoo! Sports. This has been requested for a couple of months. Users close to articles have not upgraded either to get both to stand alone status. Keep page named Yahoo! Sports with a section for fantasy. Thanks. -GoHuskies9904 (talk) 18:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

April 2008

• Merge Mk I Mini into Mini. There is already a section on the MK I in the Mini page. We need to make sure all the relevant material in the Mk I Mini page is covered in the main Mini page then redirect Mk I Mini. Hethurs (talk) 18:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Preces (Opus Dei) into Preces. They both deal with the class of prayer known as a prece, as a result they probably aught to be listed together with the opus dei example under the larger heading. Ithillion (talk) 04:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge List of Las Vegas casinos that never opened into List of casinos. At the end of the latter thread I'll add a section for unopened casinos and add non-Vegas casinos that never opened in as well.Clowns789 (talk) 4:02, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge the two centrifugal force articles. they both deal with different ways of looking at the same thing.David Tombe (talk) 14:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge United Trade Union Centre-Lenin Sarani into All India United Trade Union Centre, parallel article created by accident. --Soman (talk) 10:38, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Soft science and Hard science, since you can't describe one except in terms of the other. Bazzargh (talk) 14:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Yuscarán and Yuscarán, El Paraíso as they refer to the same place. --LeRoc (talk) 09:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Gynaeceum and Gynaeconitis as they are synonyms --Mdebets (talk) 07:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Fafafini with Fa'afafine since they're both the same topic, just different spellings. h3llbringer (talk) 02:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Bert (Sesame Street) and Ernie into Bert and Ernie. The two individual character pages repeats a lot of information - and most of that info is already well covered in the duo's shared article. And specific differences between the two can be said on the shared page. If later on enough depth and coverage can be provided for each character the two can be split. See Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) Mr Merge (talk) 23:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Cry for You (September song) into Cry for You (song). They are both based on the same song, but contain different information. - Chris as I am Chris (talk) 21:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Brock (Pokémon)‎, Dawn (Pokémon), Nurse Joy‎, Todd (Pokémon)‎, Pokémon Professors‎, Zoey (Pokémon)‎, Tracey Sketchit‎, Team Rocket (anime)‎, Paul (Pokémon)‎, Gary Oak, Misty (Pokémon), May (Pokémon)‎, Max (Pokémon), and Ash Ketchum‎‎ into List of Pokémon anime characters. The characters are not notable enough for their own articles.--72.208.190.234 (talk) 23:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Timeline of Kwame Kilpatrick's Political Career into Kwame Kilpatrick. The new stub is a trival list, so merge back into the main article. Bearian (talk) 22:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Enjo kōsai into Age disparity in sexual relationships. They talk about the same phenomenon. 2_of_8 (talk) 16:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Nicodemos the Hagiorite with Nicodemus the Hagiorite. They are the same person.--leandros (talk) 09:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Curator of the White House and White House Office of the Curator because the two articles are about the same topic. --TommyBoy (talk) 04:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge United States journalism scandals‎ into List of United States journalism scandals‎ (made for the job). Little input so far, so two are co-existing --Matt Lewis (talk) 00:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Eyes Better Not Wander and I Can't See into Make It Hot as per consensus at Talk:Make It Hot. I can't merge it myself. Cloudz679 (talk) 09:57, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Marinos of Tyre into Marinus of Tyre. Duplicate entries based on alternative spellings. Lumos3 (talk) 11:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge VESDA into Smoke detector. Just because VESDA is a trademarked product, it is still a smoke detection apparatus in common use, but it probably doesn't need it's own page. --206.53.253.150 (talk) 19:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Celebrate The Nun into Scooter (band). Celebrate The Nun is included in more detail in the Scooter page. The Sanctuary Sparrow (talk) 17:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

March 2008

• Merge several entries from {{Peanuts}} into List of minor Peanuts characters. Many of the characters appeared only one time in the entire run of the comic strip (not to mention that most of the related articles are unsourced). Anthony Rupert (talk) 05:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Chestnut Ridge people and Guineas (ethnic group), same group of people. Mike Nassau (talk) 15:24 , 24 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Thermoception & Thermoreceptor, dunno which name would be best for the article however. ~ender, 2008-03-23 21:21:PM MST
• Merge National Nurses Organizing Committee into California Nurses Association Checkmate000 (talk) 21:01, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Foreign relations of the United States into Foreign policy in the United States, which may soon be moved to "Foreign policy of the United States". johnpseudo 18:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Pre-language into Origin of language, previously there was just a merge request, with the other mergee being a redirect pageevolution of language. There was no merge tag on the Origin page.--AkselGerner (talk) 22:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge History of the Federal Reserve with History of the Federal Reserve System. AntiPartisanship 16 March 2008 (EST)
• Merge Template:Vague into Template:Clarifyme. Queerudite (talk) 21:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Mashup editor into Mashup (web application hybrid) Brevity (talk) 10:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge McCandless Method into Stanley McCandless. McCandless method itself is a stub. History meshes well with bio. DJSparky (talk) 17:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect Nay Aug Amusement Park with Nay Aug. Amusement park was small and based out of larger Nay Aug Park. Park is now closed and there is very little detail to merit it having its own article. Nay Aug article is more fleshed and is the common name used when referring to park. Amusement park article is also practically orphaned.
• Merge and redirect Curl Curl Beach with Curl Curl, New South Wales. There is very limited info in Curl Curl Beach, which can be mentioned in it's own section within the Curl Curl, New South Wales article. Terovian (talk) 11:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge (or redirect) Rodimus to Hot Rod (Transformers). The articles are very nearly identical - the only major difference is in what name they use to introduce the character. It appears that Rodimus was originally a redirect to Hot Rod (Transformers), but then someone had the infinite wisdom to replace it with a copy&paste copy of the latter article. JIP | Talk 07:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
• Manny Ribera, Alex Sosa, and Frank Lopez all merge to Scarface (1983 film); each of these articles contains nothing more than plot summary and none of these characters have enough real-world notability to justify having separate articles. (The protagonist of the film, Tony Montana, is notable enough to have his own article, but the rest are not.) --Hnsampat (talk) 21:28, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
• List of English monarchs and List of British monarchs. Discussion see Talk:List of British monarchs. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
• Outside Context Problem to Excession. Discussion. The 1996 Iain M. Banks novel Excession is the origin of this neologism and, so far, the only referenced work on the article. Although Banks' idea may be applicable to cultural anthropology, there is as yet no sign that the term has acquired currency. The merge has been challenged, however, hence this discussion. 11:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Downtown Fort William, Ontario to Fort William, Ontario. The former is newly created, and I see no reason to have a separate article on this subject. As a matter of fact, I believe the former should form the latter's very core. --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 14:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge (or redirect) Biodiesel processor into Biodiesel production. The processor page was last edited in 2003 and is entirely redundant with the production page. It should be deleted / merged.--E8 (talk) 04:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

February 2008

• Recycling criticism into recycling. Discussion hasn't lead to consensus and more viewpoints would be welcome.--jwanders^Talk 08:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
• Elasticity of a function into Elasticity (economics). It contains little that isn't already in the destination article, and that little would fit well there. Besides, if there can be said to be a mathematical usage of the term elasticity, it's not this one, but rather this one. Discuss here— PaulTanenbaum (talk) 06:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
• Aliens: The Computer Game (Software Studios), Aliens: The Computer Game (Activision), Aliens (1990 video game) to Aliens (computer game) Does slightly different games of the same film licence justify separate articles (three of them subs)? Each game could have their separate section on the merged article. --Nreive (talk) 09:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
• Data disk (computer gaming) to Expansion pack. The former article, which I started since FSM knows when, hasn't ever been significantly expanded. In contrast, the latter article is considerably larger, and even mentions video games. I still dislike lumping computer games and general video games together, but will ignore it for this matter. JIP | Talk 21:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
• Tennessee Squire into Jack Daniel's. Discussion here. Travellingcari (talk) 16:13, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
• Macquarie Bank into Macquarie Group. Discuss here. Ansett (talk) 10:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
• Yungbulakang Palace‎ and Yumbulagang are concerning the same building, articles to be merged--Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 17:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Crown Casino into Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex. Discuss here. Ansett (talk) 02:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
• Steady state (disambiguation), Steady state (biochemistry), Steady state (chemistry), Steady state (electronics) and Steady state (macroeconomics) all describe, with varying quality, the concept of a Steady state, to which I suggest to merge them.

• Hazara (Pakistan) and Hazara Division. I doubt that it's optimal to have these 2 overlapping articles. --KnightMove (talk) 12:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
• Asshole (game) and Dai Hin Min. Both are variations of a card game which has many names and variations world-wide. See Talk:Asshole_(game)#Proposed merge with Dai Hin Min.--Trystan (talk) 00:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

• Fond du Lac Freeway with Wisconsin Highway 145. With improvements, the two pages would end up being redundant, as they will carry quite a bit of the same information. Perhaps a section dealing with the section that is known as the Fond du Lac Freeway would be in order on the merged page. Thoughts?TheBigFish (talk) 16:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
• Rosy Cross with Rose Cross. There is some discussion on their talk pages that one is distinctly different from the other, but little clear evidence. Lusanaherandraton (talk) 00:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
• Water memory into Jacques Benveniste. The water memory article concerns itself mainly with a controversy over published research by Jacques Benveniste and presently excludes other kinds of water memory. —Whig (talk) 03:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC) No, I think the topic is broader & would overshadow the bio. DGG (talk) 00:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

January 2008

• Portions of Paul Revere's Ride and Paul Revere - Former article was originally intended to be about the poem by Longfellow, as the edit history will confirm. It has, instead, become a lengthy article on the historical ride of Revere. Revere's article already has most of this information (but this one is better sourced, it seems) but an editor of both articles refuses to make the merge and is no longer responding on Talk:Paul Revere's Ride. Really just looking for further opinions on this. -Midnightdreary (talk) 14:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Buses in New York City into New York City Transit buses and MTA Bus Company: This proposal is going to be controversial, but the above two are the, with two minor exception, providers of franchised bus operations in New York City. A discussion has been started in the WikiProject where it is maintained. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 03:50, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
• Chicano studies and Latino_studies - I'm not sure what the difference between these two is. I don't really know the process. CallipygianSchoolGirl (talk) 04:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
• Klanbake to 1924_Democratic_National_Convention. Both pages start by saying that the two terms are synonyms. The merging requires a certain knowledge of the topic, which I don't have. Tcp-ip (talk) 14:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
• History of the word fuck into Fuck. Discuss Talk:Fuck#Merger Proposal. --SilyOlPooh (talk) 02:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
• Acne scar treatment into acne scarring. Discuss here. Aristotle1990 (talk) 19:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I have just put up {{mergeto}} and {{mergefrom-multiple}} tags proposing merging both into Acne vulgaris.B.Wind (talk) 22:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

• Marxism in India into Socialism in India. Marxism in India is within the scope of the Socialism in India article. The article is not really about Indian interpretations on Marxist theory, but about the contemporary left movement in India. Thus they can be merged. --Soman (talk) 12:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Wee Care Nursery School into Day care sex abuse hysteria. The former's section of the latter is already 99% of the separate article, what's the need for a separate article? Travellingcari (talk) 01:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• There was already an existing tag proposing Basal thermometer's merger into Thermometer. In the interim basal was redirected/merged into Medical thermometer. I'm proposing that Medical thermometer itself be merged into Thermometer as it really is just a small section of a whole. Travellingcari (talk) 01:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Disagree, see Talk:Thermometer#Merge proposal with medical thermometer. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 16:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
• Scripting programming languages contains the early history of Scripting languages, and was moved by this copy-paste move in August, 2005. It needs an admin to do a history merge from Scripting programming languages to Scripting languages. The target article has negligible history prior to the copy-paste move [1]. --Tony Sidaway 14:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Nationalist Trinamool Congress to All India Trinamool Congress, same party, separate article was created by mistake. --Soman (talk) 12:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Arf into List of characters in Nanoha, Article seems to be only a plot summary with no real world conrtext. VivioFateFan ^{(Talk, Sandbox)} 01:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Penalty area with Football Pitch, The article penalty area appears to relate to one small section of football pitch and could easily bemerged in to the main article.--Lucy-marie (talk) 16:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • More appropriate target: Football pitch. B.Wind (talk) 07:28, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Crimbo with Christmas. The former is just a slang term and could be included in the main article. ۩ Dracion (Level 85 Rs Player) ۩ 18:44, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Caprica (TV series) with Battlestar Galactica. The former is a proposed spin-off which is in "development hell." The article consists primarily of speculation and rumors. Clconway (talk) 06:23, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Postbooks into OpenMFG: Basically Postbooks is the stripped down and differently licensed version of OpenMFG, so the two articles have a lot of redundancy. --S.K. (talk) 16:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

• merge Wikipedia:Spoiler into Wikipedia:No disclaimers in articles. We no longer have spoiler templates on Wikipedia articles, and this is explained adequately at WP:NDT. It would make sense, therefore, to put this separate guideline page, which used to be an exception, into abeyance and redirect to the more general guideline. Equazcion •✗/C • 16:35, 7 Jan 2008 (UTC)

• merge Philippines' Next Top Model and Philippines' Next Top Model, Cycle 1. Since there is still no confirmation about a possible second cycle of PNTM, it should not have been split in the first place. And now, because of the "unpermitted" split, an overly-parodized and overly-vandalized article was created out of a hoax article that is Philippines' Next Top Model, Cycle 2. Star C Zamora (talk) 13:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

• merge Paraceratherium and Indricotherium. In french the corresponding articles are already merged. Here the difficulty is that both articles in english complete each other. The reason for the proposed merge is that : larger more robust Indricotherium with larger incisors being probably the male, and the more gracile Paraceratherium the female. It make no sense to have to articles describing a single specie. It need just a reference that historically they seemed to be different species. 6 January 2008

• merge Green Line (Cyprus) into United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus. These two articles cover the same thing. Maybe Green Line (Cyprus) can redirect to United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus. Axel.fois (talk) 14:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

• merge Official Sinn Féin to Workers Party of Ireland. Same party, just different names. --Soman (talk) 20:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

• merge Akatsuki (Naruto) into List of Naruto villains, the former article is merely an otherwise unremarkable subset of fictional villains within the programme. Lankiveil (talk) 10:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Hoboken (PATH station) into Hoboken Terminal: The articles cover virtually the same thing, and the Hoboken Terminal article is more descriptive, with information in the latter being the source for the former. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 08:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Equisetales into Equisetopsida: Not necessary to have an article for every taxonomic level. Wikipedia is not a dictionary... Verisimilus T 18:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

December 2007

• merge John Cura into Tele-snaps, duplicated information; John Cura is exclusively known for tele-snaps. Rapido (talk) 14:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge Union Flag into Flag of the United Kingdom (discussion), likely controversial merger. At present two articles deal with the the same subject in order to avoid edit warring over the name of the article. Propose that the "standard" naming of flag articles should apply - or at least have only one article on a single subject. --sony-youth^pléigh 12:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
• merge List of German Federal Navy ships into List of German Navy ships in order to have the same information under one correct title.--KuK (talk) 09:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
• merge Topsham (CDP), Maine into Topsham (town), Maine. Rather large amount of statistical information broken down to small subdivision.

Other CDPs could also be considered for mergers.Inwind (talk) 11:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

• Merge Interstellar cloud with Nebula those are two articles about the same subject. Carsrac (talk) 18:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge Chimarrão into Mate. After all, they're both the same beverage, chimarrão being simply the local Brazilian denomination. — Rsazevedo 11:07, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

November 2007

Update. Second article has been redirected into third article. No apparent consensus to fold the first into the third. "Mistake" or not, recommend that the Italianization article be properly expanded independent of Fascist italianization and add citations instead. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 21:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

October 2007

• Proposed merger of Blue Fugates into Methemoglobinemia. This was proposed a year ago by another user, but was incomplete. (The user added the mergeto template, but didn't list the merger proposal here or on any talk page.) Two editors, including me, disagreed with the proposal. I have restarted the merger proposal (discuss) to make sure it's handled correctly. Personally, I'm voting against, but want to give the proposal a fair shake.
  • Still appears unresolved, but a poll though stale is in progress. --Kevin Murray (talk) 01:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
