Proposed article mergers is a noticeboard for active discussions to merge articles. Read Wikipedia:Merging and open a discussion before posting here. Help can be requested at the help desk if needed. Listing an ongoing merger discussion here is purely optional.
If a merge is unlikely to be contested, you can be WP:BOLD and complete it without listing it for discussion. It can be reverted and discussed if it is contested. To see all articles tagged for merging, see § All articles tagged for merging, as well as Category:Articles to be merged.
This page is not for:
- Expressing the opinion that articles should be merged without starting a discussion on the article's talk page.
- Discussing merge proposals; a link to the discussion should be included in the proposal.
- Proposing article splits or moves: see Wikipedia:Proposed article splits and Wikipedia:Moving a page
- Proposing merges for things other than articles: see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion and Wikipedia:Templates for discussion
- Requesting history merges: see Wikipedia:Requests for history merge

Merge requests
[edit]Follow the instructions at WP:MERGEPROP to tag the articles and start a merge discussion. Once all articles have been tagged and a discussion has been opened, add the merge request to the bottom of this list. Requests that do not link to an active discussion may be removed from this page. If you need assistance, consider asking at the help desk.
Example format:
*'''Merge''' [[Source page]] into [[Destination page]]. {{Discussing|talkpage=Talk:Destination page#Section title of discussion}} ~~~~
If consensus is reached to merge, the proposal can be tagged with {{await}} '''Awaiting merge...'''
and placed in the successful requests section below. If consensus is reached against merging, it can be tagged with {{not done}}
and it will be archived. Consensus for a merge should be reached in the linked discussion, not on this page. Comments of support or opposition may be removed from this page.

- Merge Potential applications of graphene to Graphene. It dosn’t meet notability, and most other "Potential applications of" pages are redirects to a section on the main page of that topic. Ex: ”Potential applications of quantum dots” redirects to Quantum dots Sir_Macaw 17:29, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

- Merge Stargate YT-33 to Windstar YF-80. Not a different aicraft, not a different encyclopedic subject. It's the exact same prototype plane (i.e., the same single physical object), simply with a different engine put in it. The erstwhile article at "Stargate YT-33" is very misleading, and implies that it was a novel design, with no mention of the fact that it's simply the pre-existing YF-80 with a parts change. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 02:06, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

- Merge Goby with Gobioidei. The word "goby" usually refers to fishes of Gobioidei (as the hatnote in the former article mentions). I don't think we need a separate article about the usage of that word. —Lophotrochozoa (talk • contribs) 12:37, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

- Merge Bhopinder Singh into Bhupinder Singh Thakur: These two articles are on the same person. Since there are more content and references in Bhupinder Singh Thakur article, I am requesting the Bhopinder Singh article to merge into Bhupinder Singh Thakur. Behappyyar (talk) 06:04, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

- Merge Ioshima-class cruiser into Ning Hai-class cruiser. The two brief articles rely upon one another for important context about the same ship. The two cruisers of the class have unified articles that detail both Chinese and Japanese service history. As far as I can tell, this occured due to a diffrence of termanology between Japanese and Chinese sources. GGOTCC 06:09, 1 June 2025 (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. 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. Hypogea (talk) 20:11, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge Maring language (India) into Maring people (India). The justification for merging is in the respective talk pages of the articles. Both articles are short and there is an overlap. One page is about the tribe, the other is about their language. --Rohini (talk) 04:37, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

- Merge Golf property and Golf course community as there is considerable overlap and it seems straightforward. I'd like to be bold and just do this one, but I am not sure how to do it and requesting additional input. Many thanks Nayyn (talk) 20:00, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge Associate Minister of Finance into Minister of Finance (Canada). Discussion at Talk:Minister of Finance (Canada)#Merge proposal. More input needed. Legend of 14 (talk) 16:20, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge Executive director into Chief executive officer. Discussion at Talk:Chief executive officer#Merge proposal. More input needed. Legend of 14 (talk) 16:24, 9 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:REDUNDANTFORKs of the main article; there is very little information found in any of them that isn't in 2024 Men's T20 World Cup. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:24, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

- Merge Orator into Public speaking. the article for Orator is a short, Start-class article that i feel could be explained and connected to well better if we merge it. I think having a separate article for someone who takes on the role of a public speaker ends up being more redundant in the long run. DM5Pedia (ctr) 03:43, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

- Merge Crimean Tatar coffee culture and Coffee tradition of Crimean Tatars. Same topic, and both pages were made as part of Ukrane's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2025. The second page was created earlier but not connected to Wikidata, which is probably why this situation happened in the first place. Shwabb1 ⟨taco⟩ 05:45, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

- Merge Ernest M. McSorley into SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Wikipedia is not a memorial and he is a classic case of WP:ONEEVENT, only being known for being the captain of the ship the day it sank. The article contains mostly trivial and uninteresting info anyway. 2603:7000:26F0:74B0:7059:C7A4:83DE:D763 (talk) 14:15, 11 February 2024 (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. 正负号 (talk) 18:22, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

- Merge Wayfinding into Wayfinding (urban or indoor), In both articles, it seems that there are 2 Wayfinding names that have the same meaning, so will readers be confused if there are 2 articles, maybe they will also be confused about where the differences lie in the two articles (whose content is mostly exactly the same).

- 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)

- 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)

- 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)

- 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)

- Merge Greatest Hits! Part 1 into The Party Album (Vengaboys album). These are the same album, and a different album title (more specifically, one used in the group's country of origin) doesn't warranty a seperate page. On another note, the "standard" tracklist isn't listed on the (main) Party Album page and it has to link to the other, redundant page to display it. TapLover (talk) 08:27, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
