Formal request has been received to merge the article American Karate into Karate in the United States; dated: July 2017. Proposer's Rationale: the articles appear to be about the same subject. Discuss here. Richard3120 (talk) 20:33, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I feel American Karate should be merged to Karate in the United States as they are about similar subjects and American Karate is too broad a term without being defined. Dwanyewest (talk) 11:27, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the merger, it would improve the latter article significantly. Care needs to be taken as the American Karate page is not referenced well (they are there but not correctly attributed to the text) and I would suggest that quite a lot of text could be cut rather than moved. Work on de-orphaning Karate in the United States is also important. Mountain^{cirque · Join the Karate Task Force?} 14:13, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I feel it should be merged now as enough useful information has being moved to Karate in the United States to make this article obsolete and the Karate in the United States has better sources. Dwanyewest (talk) 14:57, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Dwanyewest: @Mountaincirque: as there has been no objection to this proposal in almost five months, one of you should go ahead and carry out the merger. Richard3120 (talk) 15:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
