  • Comment: Target article had merge-from-tag removed unilaterally for some reason; probably surprising some people on this long-standing proposal. I re-tagged the article and hopefully this time it will generate some discussion as to its merits, including a response from @Geraldo Perez:. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 12:25, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Merge List of Roman theatres into Roman theatre (structure) (ie just put the list below the article). The first of what is intended to be a series of proposals to reduce the very bad habit that has grown up in this area of separating short articles and fairly short lists. Here the article is only 6.2 kbytes and the list 33 kb. It is unencyclopedic to keep them apart - readers of each should see both. Outside the table the list article has only a one-line introduction (which manages to include two spellings of "theatre/theater". In cases where the combined length would be excessive (eg Greek temple and the matching list) there is sense in this approach (with a proper introduction) but not here.

Comment: You can be bold and proceed with this type of program if you feel confident that you can do the mergers yourself. If you need help, however, or a redirect is reverted, then list here for additional help and input. Thanks for your efforts. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 19:40, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

  • 2015 Heimdal train derailment should be merged to List of rail accidents (2010-present). Though the AfD was closed as No Consensus, most if not all of the voters agreed this derailment is not notable enough for a standalone article since it had little to no lasting impacts in the rail industry and the list article already mentions it.
  • Merge List of Arubans to Aruba. The list is a very short article that would take years to expand to the point it would overwhelm the main article. Not likely to happen for the foreseeable future.

  •  Not done. Proposal as presented is not gaining consensus for such an overarching change, although some articles are suggested to merge. Individual articles may pass muster if proposed separately, but there is no way forward with a wholesale merger of all these articles into Slow movement (culture) at this time.

  • I would propose a rapid merger of Unique visitor and into Unique user, as the larger, more detailed of the two (Uu) states repeatedly that the two are synonymous, and the smaller of the two articles (Uv) is very short and based on a single source. Transfer of the content should be fast and simple, with addition of a sentence that Uu is (it appears) more often used my the coding communities, and Uv by business/marketing individuals. >>>Discussion Here<<<.

@BD2412: Just at a glance, it looks like it would be relatively simple. The sections in snack would fit nicely almost exactly as is into the snack food. You wouldn't even need to integrate anything into the existing sections, there aren't many subsections in the snack food article. --NickPenguin(contribs) 03:46, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Merge List of military occupations into List of territorial disputes. >>>Discussion<<<. The lists are fundamentally the same, but the first is essentially a platform for editors with strong points of view about particular conflicts to cast one or another side of a conflict in a negative light. See the talk page for typical discussions among partisan editors. The merge is likely to be contested by these partisan editors, as "List of territorial disputes" is a much more neutral (and more accurate) description of the conflicts listed. --Ravpapa (talk) 17:10, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Only comment so far supports merging. Nominator or someone knowledgeable about subject should proceed with the merge. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 17:15, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

A German dialect similar to Pennsylvania German is my mother tongue. I also understand Hutterisch, Bernese German, Alsatian dialect and Plautdietsch.

I also speak additional languages. or other interested editor should proceed with merger. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 13:33, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
