• Merge The Lazarus Creature to List of creatures and aliens in Doctor Who per discussion on Talk:List of creatures and aliens in Doctor Who. McWomble (talk) 06:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
• Merge ING direct to ing group. Ing Direct is a marketing name only and part of ING group and uses its banking license.
• Merge Cher effect to Auto-Tune. Auto-Tune article references the effect Cher's "Believe" had on the popularity of the technique. A sperate article for this impact is not neccisary. -- TRTX ^{T / C} 15:27, 3 December 2008

NCIS

• Merge history of Abby Sciuto to List of NCIS characters. Former is now redirected to the latter. McWomble (talk) 11:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
• Merge history of Ducky Mallard to List of NCIS characters. Former is now redirected to the latter. McWomble (talk) 11:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
• Merge history of Leroy Jethro Gibbs to List of NCIS characters. Former is now redirected to the latter. McWomble (talk) 11:31, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Timothy McGee to List of NCIS characters. Entirely primary sourced and fails to establish notability of the former independent of the latter. McWomble (talk) 04:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
  • The names are likely search terms and merging the search history would not work because they overlap. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:32, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Wrapper function, Adaptor pattern and Delegation (programming) somehow. Three different treatments of the same basic concepts. OrangeDog (talk) 15:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Joseph Marie Clément Ferdinand dall’Abaco and Joseph Abaco. Same person. --Redf0x (talk) 08:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] November 2008

• Merge Prayer for the Current Financial Situation into Church of England. An event notable only within the Church of England, and too recent to be worthy of a standalone article. --Rbreen (talk) 01:37, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Hoagie into Submarine sandwich. Per WP:REDIRECT#Alternative_names. Former is simply a regional term used for the latter. BillyTFried (talk) 19:47, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Hero sandwich into Submarine sandwich. Per WP:REDIRECT#Alternative_names. Former is simply a regional term used for the latter. BillyTFried BillyTFried (talk) 21:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge completed on December 2, 2008 BillyTFried (talk) 03:31, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

• Merge SNUPY Awards into Southern Nazarene Crimson Storm. Former notable as part of latter, IMHO. --Aepoutre (talk) 22:19, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge completed on December 1, 2008 --Aepoutre (talk) 06:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Father Christmas into Santa Claus (or vice versa). Two different articles about the very same fictional personage. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Pennangalan into Penanggalan. Duplicates. -- 129.21.180.116 (talk) 19:48, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Shaikh Abdelaziz bin khalifa al-thani, Abdelaziz Bin Khalifa. Duplicates. --158.143.213.30 (talk) 20:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Hong Kong Express, Hong Kong Airlines. On the airline website, it states Hong Kong Airlines is mainly for domestic routes while the Express section is for International routes. Toyotaboy95 - Hong Kong (talk) 23:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Templecombe, Abbas Combe and Abbas and Templecombe all appear to be talking about the same place, but I'm not sure which one they should be merged into, or how to handle all 3.— Rod ^talk 21:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Brian Farrell (Roman Catholic Bishop) with Brian Farrell (bishop) - same person. --Redf0x (talk) 17:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge 332d Fighter Group into 332d Air Expeditionary Wing. The 332d Fighter Group's history and lineage are officialy (according to the Air Force Historical Research Agency [1]) part of the 332d Air Expeditionary Wing. I believe that the special significance of the 332d Fighter Group is appropriatly captured in the Tuskegee Airman page and needn't be repearted in a unique 332d Fighter Group page. Ndunruh (talk) 16:59, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Philosophy of Nature with Nature (philosophy). Basically the latter evolved from an earlier version of what is the former and both come out of scraps split out of the Nature article. I'd suggest the newer and cleaner and better sourced text of Philosophy of Nature simply over-writes Nature (philosophy). Which title should be kept, and should anything from Nature (philosophy) be kept?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 08:21, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Raxaul with Raxaul Bazar: same town. --Lucio Di Madaura (disputationes) 15:57, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Nancy Kissel murder case into Nancy Kissel (discuss). The individual is notable only for the murder case (which is itself highly notable, and associated closely with the name of the murderess). Bongomatic 00:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge The North Fork and North Fork, Suffolk County, New York. Both locations are one in the same. ----DanTD (talk) 00:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge XM Chill into Sirius XM Chill. The two channels merged to form one when Sirius and XM merged.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:06, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Griffith Law School into Griffith University. Michellecrisp (talk) 23:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Art object into Work of art Still not solved need a independent view. From October 2008. I feel it should not be merged as they are most definitely two different concepts.Research Method (talk) 01:39, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge History of African Americans in Augusta, Georgia into History of Augusta, Georgia. The first article has very little material, and most of that is generic and not specific to Augusta, Georgia. The article has not been growing, and would fit very well into the larger context article. HDow (talk) 17:36, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge completed on November 13, 2008 -- HDow (talk) 02:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Flight_Jacket into MA-1_bomber_jacket. Appears to be almost identical entries and the same image is used in both entries. Chris9450 (talk) 05:07, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Samoa technologies into Samoa Technologies. Appears to be a duplicate page, except for the capitalization in the title.--Funandtrvl (talk) 23:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge completed on November 13, 2008 --Flewis^(talk) 11:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Maki (historical political party) and Palestine Communist Party. Appears to be the same party, just with two different names. --Soman (talk) 15:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Ten Mile Point, British Columbia to Cadboro Bay, British Columbia. Still not solved need a independent view. From May 2008. I feel it should not be mergeed as they are most definitely to different things. But Skookum1 for some reason thinks it should. --24.69.66.143 (talk) 22:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Matt Zieser and Matt Zeiser, the are about the same Baseball player, and his name was spelled two different ways. Adam Penale (talk)

[edit] October 2008

• Merge Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography into Kunstkamera - the two articles refter to the same Russian Wiki article Кунсткамера and museum Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography: KUNSTKAMERA. -- 219.84.125.224, 20:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge WZRH (defunct) into WCRU - The two articles contain the same information and refer to the same radio station; the WCRU article is more detailed and has an infobox.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 14:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung and Berlin Social Science Research Center - German and English names of the same institute. - Andre Engels (talk) 18:32, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Elegiac and Elegiac couplet into Elegy (discuss) to avoid unnecessary overlap of topics and content. Deor (talk) 14:11, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Ghosts of departed quantities into The Analyst and replace with redirect (discuss). Unnecessary duplication of content. Gandalf61 (talk) 11:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Hamidah Khatun into Ja'far al-Sadiq (discuss). The Hamidah Khatun page makes no claims of notability, nor states more than literally six words, about her other than in relation to her marriage to Ja'far al-Sadiq. Bongomatic (talk) 06:59, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Defensible space (environmental design) into Defensible Space Theory; there is also a disamb page for Defensible space that would have to be updated and some links fixed. Jgm (talk) 12:35, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge RAAF Station Bairnsdale into Bairnsdale Airport. Same site. --Newm30 (talk) 03:26, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Blue topaz into Topaz (discuss). The blue topaz article has nothing that is simultaneously true, notable, and not already (or should not be) covered in the topaz article. Bongomatic (talk) 23:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge History of the Moscow Metro in to Moscow Metro - The former article is very short, far shorter than the history section of the latter article. I don't see that the topic merits a separate article as it currently stands. Grunners (talk) 16:59, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge "Khiytola" to Hiitola, "Lakhdenpokhya" to Lahdenpohja, "Loukhi" to Louhi (town), "Pitkyaranta" to Pitkäranta, "Suoyarvi" to Suoyarvi, "Vyartsilya" to Värtsilä (Russia) etc. Many names in the Republic of Karelia are in Finnish, eg. those above. Thus, in Russian they have been transliterated to "Khiytola", "Lakhdenpokhya", "Loukhi", "Pitkyaranta", "Suoyarvi" and "Vyartsilya". Although the Finnish towns are Hämeenlinna, Jyväskylä, Äänekoski etc, in Russian Хямеэнлинна, Ювяскюля and Яянекоски, nobody insist that they have to be in English Khyameenlinna, Yuvyaskyulya and Yayanekoski. The names Hiitola, Lahdenpohja, Louhi, Pitkäranta, Suojärvi, Värtsilä etc. are in Finnish language, because Finnish was the official language in the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic 1923-40, 1956-91 and in the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic 1940-56. --WPK (talk) 18:21, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Non-Trinitarian churches with Nontrinitarianism. The former article is worded in such a way that it would be difficult to merge, but the merger I feel is important. Much of the information either overlaps or is incorrectly located in the "churches" article, some information is factually inaccurate, and there are no citations, making it difficult to tell fact from fiction. Lioux (talk) 12:15, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Ten Mile Point, British Columbia to Cadboro Bay, British Columbia. I feel it should not be mergeed as they are most definitely to different things. But Skookum1 for some reason thinks it should. Nothing has been done one way or another. 24.69.66.143 (talk) 06:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Ius gentium to Jus gentium and Ius naturale with Jus naturale (which redirects to Natural law). They are the same; 'J' is simply a modern Latin equivalent of 'I'. --john9blue (talk) 23:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Matriarch to Matriarchy. It's essentially the same thing and the Matriarch article is a tiny stub that reads more like a dictionary defination really, that mentions everything the Matriarchy article already describes. --Mezaco (talk) 14:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Web brigades to Internet police. They are are similar concepts, and instead of AfD the first article, a merge of information is a suggestion. --Russavia ^{Dialogue Stalk me} 20:55, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Alibi (TV Channel) to Alibi (TV channel). They are almost identical. -- Eastmain (talk) 02:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge both Child carrier and Stroller history to Baby transport. The former article rather briefly discusses a particular form of baby transport, while the latter is a poor article on the history of a specific type of baby transport. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 15:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge American Public Gas Association and Apga. They are completely identical articles as far as I can tell. --Hippie Metalhead (talk) 17:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge List of countries by number of total troops with List of countries by number of active troops. There is no need for having to seperate articles on practically the same thing. There should be a list of countries by total troops only with mentioning at each country how many of it's troops are currently active. -The Bold Guy- (talk) 13:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge List of awards and nominations received by Bloc Party and Bloc Party, as list does not seem to have many notable achievements which could not be included in main article.--^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 00:47, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Amoebic meningitis and Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, as the former is a stub with very little information, whereas the latter is a closely related, more detailed subject; slight modifications to the introduction could allow one page to fairly treat both conditions. -- Jeyradan (talk) 08:59, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] September 2008

• Merge MSN Messenger into Windows Live Messenger. Reasons at Talk:Windows Live Messenger#Merger proposal. --Samvscat (talk) 07:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge completed, 1 October 2008. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 19:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

• Merge IMAX Corporation into IMAX. A separate article for the corporation is (usually) not necessary when the corporation's name is the same as the name product or service. For example, McDonald's Corporation redirects to McDonald's. Not much can be said about the corporation that wouldn't fit in the article for the product itself. –Dream out loud (talk) 17:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Wilderness Diarrhea into Travelers Diarrhea. Innumerable published articles demonstrate that these topics are widely discussed separately. Several editors disagree and seek to trim and merge Wilderness Diarrhea.Calamitybrook (talk) 21:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Shockvertising and Shock advertising. They appear to be on the exact same topic just with different names. Shock advertising was listed as an orphaned in the Orphaned catagory and I started to find incoming links for it only to find that there was another article that had significantly more links and exposure. --Hippie Metalhead (talk) 20:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Samurang into Haidong Gumdo. Samurang is based on a fringe theory mostly purported by associations or individuals associated with Haidong Gumdo, and reliable sources on the subject is virtually non-existent. Cydevil38 (talk) 06:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Sud-Est, Sud-Ouest, Sud Aviation and Nord Aviation into Aérospatiale. All articles are currently stubs with the "Sud" company articles containing duplicate history information. Additional justification based on Wikipedia:Companies, corporations and economic information, created by WP:COMPANIES. --Born2flie (talk) 17:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Human urine into Urine. The two articles are almost identical. WWGB (talk) 12:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Anwar Ibrahim (politician) into Anwar Ibrahim. Currently Anwar Ibrahim redirects to Anwar Ibrahim (politician), but since no other notable people also named "Anwar Ibrahim", thus Anwar Ibrahim should be favoured instead of Anwar Ibrahim (politician). --אדמוןד ואודס_{自分の投稿記録} 17:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Dead Planet: SonicSlowMotionTrails and Dead Planet. Though released nearly a year apart and with different track listings, they are the same album. Red157(talk • contribs) 16:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge List of Bloc Party awards and Bloc Party, as list does not have many notable achievements which could not be included in main article. --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 19:18, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
• Free and open source software should be merged into Open source software because they are about the same topic, but the latter is considerably longer (21:48:42UTC September 5, 2008 CE). -- GOD ACRONYM (talk)
• 'Euro Space Centre' and 'Euro Space Center' are about the same thing -- Xofc (talk) 17:47, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
• The Ivan Milat and Backpacker Murders should be merged because they are about the same topic. Other serial killer articles I've read on Wikipedia refer to the nicknames of the cases but don't have separate articles for them unless there were multiple perpetrators. --*momoricks* (talk) 11:42, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Clone Wars Adventures Volume 1, Clone Wars Adventures Volume 2, Clone Wars Adventures Volume 3, Clone Wars Adventures Volume 4, Clone Wars Adventures Volume 5, Clone Wars Adventures Volume 6, Clone Wars Adventures Volume 7 into Clone Wars Adventures. I does not seem necessary to have an article on each volume of a comic book, since it doesn't appear to happen for other comics. 70.51.9.124 (talk) 15:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
• MEncoder is an unmaintained subproject of MPlayer and probably doesn't warrant its own article.
• The William Burke and William Hare (murderer) articles should be merged into the Burke and Hare murders article. Each article about the men has a small amount of biographical information with the bulk of the articles discussing the murders.*momoricks* (talk) 11:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge completed on October 10, 2008 momoricks ^talk 08:02, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Yang Zhiya and Yang Xinhai—they are about the same person. *momoricks* (talk) 03:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge completed on September 13, 2008 --*momoricks* (talk) 08:48, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• Merge the newly created article of ZeiraCorp with it's parent article - the new Terminator series NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 00:58, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
• I've never merged a page before so I'm hoping to get some kind of feedback before completing the merge. I just rewrote the Shen Changyin and Shen Changping articles, which ended up being identical because all the sources discuss the brothers perpetrating their crimes together. *momoricks* (talk) 11:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge completed on September 15, 2008 *momoricks* (talk) 09:05, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

• Would some mind weighing the consensus and closing the merge discussion regarding Attack dog? The discussion has been inactive for 10 days. I would go ahead and close it myself but being the original author of the article and a participant in the discussion I have a large COI there. Thanks, ~ AmeIiorate _{U T C} @ 07:11, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
• My request is for Norma (female name) to merge into Norman (name) via whatever editors may wanna merge Norma into Norman, 'cause my Norma sections may require information which is hard to get into Wikipedia, you know. Neurotic heart (talk) 22:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge British Australian Rules Football League into AFL Britain, almost identical articles. WWGB (talk) 13:26, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Keyser Söze into The Usual Suspects. At the end of the day, the standalone character article is an OR lovefest while the film article lacks the sourced content. Viriditas (talk) 03:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• I just merged asphalt concrete and tarmac into asphalt but not sure how to prevent double redirects (not sure where "what links here?" is found), also considering merging concrete into asphalt as well, seem wise? Mrqwerty987 (talk) 22:58, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
  • EDIT: Have now merged pavement and concrete into asphalt as well Mrqwerty987 (talk) 23:03, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
    • EDIT2: Have also merged Sidewalk into asphalt. Mrqwerty987 (talk) 23:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
      • Agrh, disregard, someone insisted on reverting me >_<
  • This merger does not make sense. Concrete and asphalt are completely different building materials. caknuck _° is geared up for football season 01:46, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Korean swordsmanship into Kumdo. Talk at Talk:Kumdo#Merger proposal. They deal with almost the same things and even share some sentences in common.--Michael Friedrich (talk) 05:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge The Whitechapel Murders (1888-91) into Jack the Ripper. Talk at Talk:Jack the Ripper#Merge The Whitechapel Murders (1888-91). Editors seek to separate the Jack the Ripper media construct from the factual crimes. I maintain this is impractical and the second article currently just duplicates parts of the main one. jnestorius^(talk) 07:18, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge SNUPY Awards, Sawyer Center, and Southern Nazarene Crimson Storm into Southern Nazarene University. The first two aren't likely notable enough to warrant their own articles, nor are they long enough or even sourced articles (the third point contributing to the first and would probably affect the second if properly addressed). Please weigh in! Aepoutre (talk) 15:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Aggressive grinds into Grinds (skateboarding).WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge J/22 and J22 (sailboat). Looks like the same Boatsclass. --Jutta234 (talk) 18:17, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Press cake and Oil cake seem to be about the same products - Quistnix (talk) 11:54, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] August 2008

• Merge Tai Situpa and Pema Tönyö Nyinje since both articles are essentially about one and the same living person. I suggest merging the former article into the latter since "Tai Situ" or "Tai Situpa" is simply a title of rank or respect which was applied to several different lines of Tibetan incarnations or Tulku. If the article is going to be about this whole line of incarnations it should probably be called something like "Palpung Tai Situpas" to distinguish from other lines also called "Tai Situpa". See my comment at Talk:Tai_Situpa. Chris Fynn (talk) 05:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Galactic Warlord, Deathwing Over Veynaa, Day of the Starwind, Planet of the Warlord and Young Legionary into a single unified article about the enitire Last Legionary series by Douglas Hill.
• Merge List of mass murderers and spree killers by number of victims into List of events named massacres. These two pages address related subjects that have a large overlap. Massacre events (including multiple location massacre events) and the number of victims resulting from those events can both be explained in a single article on "List of events named massacres". (Discuss).-- Suntag (talk) 17:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Conservative talk into Talk radio. "Conservative talk", IMO, has an NPOV issue, and it seems that it would be better to roll the new information into the existing thorough US-political-talk-radio section.
• Merge Cereal#Global market into 2007–2008 world food price crisis. The section of the "Cereal" article is only peripherally relevant to cereal; it's about the "Food price crisis" instead, and should, IMO, be in that article. Tevildo (talk) 10:44, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Putrajaya Independence Square into Putra Square. Currently "Putra Square" is redirecting to "Putrajaya Independence Square", but I think "Putra Square" should be the appropriate one, because I've passed by the place and found that it's called "Dataran Putra" in Malay, which is "Putra Square" in English. Instead of requesting a move, I'm requesting a merger because I found that both pages have meaningful edits and all these edits should be combined. --אדמוןד ואודס_{自分の投稿記録} 07:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge {{Infobox TV channel}}, {{Infobox Radio station}}, {{Infobox Broadcast}} and {{Infobox Broadcasting network}}. Their functions are mostly overlapped, despite their own aims. Click here to discuss. -- JSH-alive ^(talk)_(cntrbtns)^{(mail me)} 15:05, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge {{Infobox Korean film}} into {{Infobox Film}}. Except for the display of Korean name and its Romanization, and a link to the KMDB profile, Infobox Korean film has no distinctive feature. Click here to discuss. -- JSH-alive ^(talk)_(cntrbtns)^{(mail me)} 15:05, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge {{Infobox Korean company}} into {{Infobox Company}}. Except for the dsplay of Korean name and its Romanization, Infobox Korean company has no distinctive feature. Click here to discuss. -- JSH-alive ^(talk)_(cntrbtns)^{(mail me)} 15:05, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge TIB (file format) to Acronis True Image; file format with little to no notability independent of the application. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 01:05, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge WGVL into WQOK (AM) because one is about the radio station that exists now, and the other is about the radio station that used to occupy the 1440 frequency in the same city. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge HD 188753 Ab into HD 188753 since the extrasolar planet in question is no longer thought to exist and is in fact unsupported by the data contained in the discovery paper. 86.171.72.213 (talk) 17:23, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Done. Icalanise (talk) 23:20, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Muli (India) with Surendranagar as the former contains a very small amount of information about a town within the latter.
• Merge Instant center into Roll center since content of first is all about content of second article. --VanBurenen (talk) 13:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Solved. --VanBurenen (talk) 21:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Rule of Two into Sith. The Rule of Two is a ficitonal pedagogical principle with no relevance outside of the Star Wars Sith and is a badly written article in any case.67.159.78.196 (talk) 18:48, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Done. Holy shit, first time I've used one of these little action icons! --EEMIV (talk) 03:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Gaelic medium unit into Gaelic medium education. I don't see a need for a seprate article for somthing which can be included on Gaelic medium education page. (MacSteaphain (talk) 16:49, 15 August 2008 (UTC))
• Merge PbNation into Paintball. PbNation is just a forum and a vendor of paintball gear, it does not belong to WP:COMPANIES Discuss here --Itemirus (talk) 08:04, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Wikipedia:Tag team to Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. Discuss here. "Tag teams" are the same as meatpuppets, so merge the content and redirect Wikipedia:Tag team to WP:MEAT. Alun (talk) 11:49, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Ticket controller (transportation) to Proof-of-payment. The former subject is a form of the latter, and lacks significant coverage and sourcing. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 05:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Leon Phelps to The Ladies Man (2000 film); non-notable fictional character, with the film being his most significant appearance. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 22:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge both Apeface and Snapdragon (Transformers) into Horrorcons. The first two articles, about the two Horrorcons individually, are fairly short and overlap in a great deal. The Horrorcons article is minimal. These could very well be served with only a Horrorcons article which would provide descriptions about both Apeface and Snapdragon and a single description of their cartoon and comic appearances.

  • Done. JIP | Talk 13:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Page has already been merged into Wikipedia:Help desk. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Link Belt, Pennsylvania into Link Belt (SEPTA station) - Despite a few geographic discrepancies, the Link Belt, PA article appears to be describing the SEPTA station, which already has an article. ----DanTD (talk) 14:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Done by me. ----DanTD (talk) 01:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Cross-post with Crossposting - two articles on the same topic (the latter is older and better developed, so the former should probably be merged there). Terraxos (talk) 05:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Hodges meteorite into Sylacauga (meteorite) - undo fork by Basilicofresco (10:34, 17 June 2008 (UTC)) - because the Hodges meteorite is simply a fragment of Sylacauga. The fork has created two small articles (one actually a stub) where one would suffice. The scientific and culture/history information could easily exist in one article under two headings. Redirect applicable, of course. Syncopate (talk) 22:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Kristi Yamaoka with Cheerleading#Dangers of cheerleading because she is notable for having the event happen to her, and her "bio" article reflects this, having only three lines about her personally in it, and three sections on "the fall". MSJapan (talk) 18:21, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Railtown 1897 State Historic Park‎ into Railtown 1897 and rename as ‎Railtown 1897 State Historic Park‎. Same location, written with two different names. ----DanTD (talk) 13:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Done. Murjax (talk) 16:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge BRIC and BRIMC because BRIMC is simply an extension of BRIC, so it is better placed in a section of BRIC then on it's own page. Saru (talk) 01:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Xesko into Francisco Santos. Only one article should exist per notable person, even if the person is notable for more than one thing. --Evb-wiki (talk) 18:40, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] July 2008

• Merge Erech into Uruk. Same city, same historical information. Erech is just a Biblical reference to Uruk, and the Erech infiormation is single source, non-referenced.
• Merge Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance) with Wikipedia:Help desk, which serves basically the same purpose. --WikiWes77 (talk) 18:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
  • It appears that there is concensus on Help desk talk --WikiWes77 (talk) 20:26, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Computer crime, Cybercrime and Internet crime, articles have alot of overlap and i believe it would be best to have a single article. The discussion at Talk:Computer crime#Merge seems to be stalled and i think there needs to be more input especially a decision on which title to keep. --neon white talk 14:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge audioblogging into podcast, the terms are very similar and the difference isn't major enough for the former to have an article. The former may not be notable in its own right, either. Computerjoe's talk 22:48, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Octagon House into Octagon House (disambiguation) in order to reunite Octagon House (disambiguation) with its Revision History which is at Octagon House. An editor has to do this. clariosophic (talk) 12:13, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Viacom Enterprises into Viacom (1971-2005) as the Viacom Enterprises article is basically a re-telling of the Viacom (1971-2005) article. Also, I really don't see the need for users replacing the Viacom (1971-2005) article with the Viacom Enterprises article, as seen in such pages as the Perry Mason (TV series) article. The Green Lantern (talk) 03:04, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Glasses (song) into McCartney (album) because that article is very short. Although already tagged, I will again mention this here. --Gh87 (talk) 20:40, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Don't Cross the River into Homecoming (album) because that article is very short. Although it is tagged already, I will mention this here. --Gh87 (talk) 20:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Mechanics of materials with Strength of materials reason being the article is quiet similar with not major changes in the same. Kalivd (talk) 07:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Ridwan and Rizwan as these represent only variant transliterations of the same name. Perhaps Ridwan needs to be renamed Ridwan (angel), or perhaps Rizwan needs to be renamed Rizwan (disambiguation). Whatever the solution, the disambiguation page should link to the article about the angel as well as to articles with Redouan, Redouane, Ridwan, Rizvan and Rizwan in their titles (all variant transliterations). I’m not exactly sure how to go about this. Elyaqim (talk) 10:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Winter waterspout into Waterspout : Althought winter waterspout are very rare, exept for the season, they physically are produce the same way as any waterspout : strong low level instability. So I don't see the need for a separate article and this article should be integrated as a section into waterspout. Pierre cb (talk) 02:54, 18 July 2008 (UTC) Y Done As no opposition has been voiced Pierre cb (talk) 15:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Eastern Settlement and Gardar, Greenland, unless i'm mistaken it's the same thing. Don't know which title is better. Discuss here. --Raminagrobis fr (talk) 18:42, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
• Merge Nembus into 51 Andromedae. Discussion here Talk:51 Andromedae.--Peccafly-talk-hist 12:45, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
