Requests answered in December 2015
  • 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)

 Done Boldly merged. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 10:21, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Thank you so much. Beyoncetan (talk) 11:34, 16 October 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.

*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)
  • 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.

  • 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 (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)
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)

 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)
