  •  Not done. No pressing interest at this time to do this. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 14:51, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
  •  Working. No opposition to merge expressed. Proposer @JamesG5: or other interested editor can proceed. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 00:22, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
  •  Working. There is no opposition expressed to the merge taking place. Proposer @Lucasstar1:, or other interested editor, can proceed with the merge. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 00:22, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Merge USA for Africa into "We Are the World". >>>Join Discussion<<<. While the latter article is FA status, the USA for Africa article is entirely unsourced and apart from the lead consists of just two sections, an (incomplete) list of performers on "We Are the World", and the tracks on the accompanying We Are the World album. Both the "We Are the World" article and the We Are the World album article cover these two sections in far more detail, so there is no need for the separate USA for Africa article. Having just one article for "We Are the World"/USA for Africa would make it much easier to maintain. Richard3120 (talk) 02:49, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
  •  Working Proposer @Richard3120: or other interested editor should proceed as there is no opposition to merging. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 15:59, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
  •  Done
  • Merge Merton College, London into South Thames College. >>>Discussion Here<<<. Merton College was merged with South Thames College in 2009 and no longer exists as a discrete entity. The continued existence of the Merton College page is potentially confusing and/or misleading, and since the current page is a stub, it can easily be flowed into the history section on the South Thames College page.Leahholmesstc (talk) 11:48, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
*:Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard has been notified to help generate additional attention to the above request(s). Thanks, GenQuest "Talk to Me" 15:32, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 Done Richard3120 (talk) 21:05, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
  •  Working @Cordless Larry: or other interested editor should proceed with merger as suggested in discussion (merge to the 'classification' article, as that is what the main objection was). GenQuest "Talk to Me" 14:47, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
  •  Not done at this time. Suggestions at talk page keep open the possibility of a consensus merger in the future. @Spesh531: could probably boldly proceed from there. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 13:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
  •  Working There is no opposition to the merge request; @Kenfyre: or other interested editor can proceed with merges. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 13:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Only comments on this stale proposal (2012) agree with proceeding with the merger. Proposer or other interested party should proceed with merging the two. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 15:12, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
  •  Working
  •  Not done. One is a disambiguation page; one a surname (disambiguation) page. This request does not belong here. See wp:Disambiguation. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 17:06, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
* Not done however, the merge of a narrative article into a list will not normally proceed.

Requests answered in November 2015
  • Merge Barkam County into Barkam the county got upgraded into a county-level city which make the disambiguation useless as the city has precedence over the town which can be link to with a hatnote. — ASDFGH =] talk? 05:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 Done Boldly merged. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 10:21, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
  • I've added merger tags to the articles – I support this merge as the only real sources appear to be throwaway two-line reviews on AllMusic for each album. Richard3120 (talk) 19:47, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you so much. Beyoncetan (talk) 11:34, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
  •  Working There is consensus to proceed with the merge. Proposer or someone familiar with the subject should proceed with the merge. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 10:02, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Support but I'm not sure whether the resulting single article should be under Tran (her maiden name), Swenson (her married name), or Tran-Swenson (as some sources seem to call her). Richard3120 (talk) 00:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Merge Miramichi (electoral district) into Miramichi—Grand Lake into Miramichi (electoral district) (edited). >>>Discussion Here<<< Rationale: Miramichi—Grand Lake is a redistributed Canadian federal electoral district that is comprised mostly of the former Miramichi federal electoral district. There is a precedent of keeping redistributed-but-largely-similar electoral districts in the same article as their predecessor district. This precedent has, in fact, been used in constructing the page for the Miramichi electoral district, as the district's previous incarnation as the district of Northumberland-Miramichi is contained in the same article. Further, of the 10 federal districts in New Brunswick, all have been redistributed, but Miramichi—Grand Lake is the only new district to have received a separate article from its predecessor. --Omertop (talk) 19:35, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Merge Investigative Project on Terrorism into Steven Emerson. There is no such entity as the Investigative Project on Terrorism, and much of the information included in the current article belongs in an article under the actual organization which is The Investigative Project on Terrorism Foundation founded in April 2006. There is also a separate entity, The Investigative Project, and the Steven Emerson article where some of the information belongs. Everything is being lump summed under an invalid article. Atsme☯Consult 17:46, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
*Note: Discussion belongs on the article page which survives the merger (the "target page"), not the one which will become a redirect. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 23:59, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
  •  Not done There is no consensus to merge these. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 17:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Merge MG Cars and MG Motor; There are two articles about the motoring brand MG - MG Cars and MG Motor. This causes confusion about a brand that is not defunct as the article MG Cars states. It is proposed that one article should be created named 'MG' with details about the brand - past and present. If there is too much information for one article, then 'The History of MG' would be a suitable secondary article. The merger has so far not come up with a natural conclusion. See details here. Aldoturner (talk) 12:55, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
  •  Not done The debate is deadlocked and needing further input. Propose again (perhaps) after the MG Cars article is corrected/re-written. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 17:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Merge Kollam Airport into Asramam Maidan; The two articles overlap in that they describe the same open space which once used to be a landing ground in the 1930s (not an airport, as claimed). I propose that the "airport article be merged into the history section of Asramam Maidan article in order to provide more accurate coverage of the topic. --Trinidade (talk) 16:11, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
  •  Done by interested editor, but opposite direction. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 17:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Merge Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago into Florida v. Zimmerman. I do not believe the sparse content here merits its own stand-alone article. All the info here can easily be merged with the Florida v. Zimmerman article without any losses. I am adding the merge proposal to this list because it needs attention from a broader audience than it has gotten. -- Veggies (talk) 20:04, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
    This has been discussed at [1]. Nakon 06:05, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 Done (kind of); merged into Speeches of Barack Obama#Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago instead, per consensus. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 17:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
  •  Working Articles are about the same thing called by different names; merge of "Rasamna..." into "We painted on the heart" should proceed immediately; proposer or interested party should proceed. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 06:49, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Merge Budj Bim into Mount Eccles. Budj Dim is an Australian Aboriginal word for the mountain. Rangasyd (talk) 11:04, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
    • All article(s) were tagged and are awaiting consensus. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 08:00, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
      •  Working Stale proposal for merging the two identical article subjects together. Proceed with the merge to Mount Eccles, with Budj Bim in the history subsection, per en:wiki naming standards. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 08:40, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
  •  Not done Consensus to not proceed now that Cyber has undergone complete re-write.GenQuest "Talk to Me" 01:39, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
  •  Not done Discussion and consensus to not proceed with this merger.GenQuest "Talk to Me" 01:39, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
Comment Both appear to have been merged into St. Teresa's High School, Charni Road – someone may want to check that the merger has been completed properly. Richard3120 (talk) 01:25, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Merge Swear box into Swear jar, or vice versa. For the life of me, I don't know why these are separate articles since the container type seems trivial. But still, good stuff in each hence a real merge and not just a quick creation of a redirect. 72.251.118.168 (talk) 08:11, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

 Done

 Not done A quick search shows they are not the same. If you can provide a source for them being the same, please do so at Talk:Muhallabia and create a new discussion or send a new merge request. Trim02 (talk) 12:21, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 Done. Sources was provided and a discussion was opened. Result: Merge with common name Trim02 (talk) 12:40, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
