Merge Marijuana woo and Medical marijuana with Cannabis‎‎ (merged)

—チーズバーガー • めん  (talk • stalk) 05:04, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

If anyone cares to know, I created the marijuana woo page specifically because the topic had many requests on the To Do page. That's not to say that it shouldn't be merged however. Combining the two pages would probably push the page towards silver at least. Bongolian (talk) 05:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Medical marijuana is damn good article, but the Medical marijuana article is very lacking. The Cannabis‎‎ articles previously read like it was written by a stoner. Also, the topic needs more comparisons to cigarettes and alcohol because weed is safer and less addictive than both.—チーズバーガー • めん  (talk • stalk) 05:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

@CheeseburgerFace I assume you meant that Marijuana woo is a damn good article? CowHouse (talk) 13:58, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes.—チーズバーガー • めん  (talk • stalk) 05:28, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Merge Crack cocaine with Cocaine (merged)

—チーズバーガー • めん  (talk • stalk) 06:10, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

I don't see why not. The main RWish aspect of crack is they way it gets represented and contrasted with the powder form. It'd be easier to compare the two if they were covered in one article. Wilder^Bicycle 19:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

I don't understand why they are separate articles to begin with. Merge them. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 19:50, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

There will always be people who think lots of short articles are preferable to one long article. There's always a sense of achievement about starting a new article that doesn't happen so much with merely adding to an existing one. Wilder^Bicycle 20:32, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

I do support many short articles over big and longwinded ones. Helps with search traffic and categories and all that stuff. The thing is, there isn't much unique material from each other for separate articles. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 22:45, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Merge Vitamin with Vitamin and mineral supplements (merged)

—チーズバーガー • めん  (talk • stalk) 02:42, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Seems obvious Benn (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Merge!—ClickerClock (talk) 10:52, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Merge get. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 18:20, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Merge Condom into Birth control (merged)

Birth control is already silver, and with the addition of the content currently in the semi-stub Condom article (alongside polish and some new material here and there) Birth control could be on its way to front page glory. The question of overlap regarding the subjects is non-existent, as condoms are literally nothing but a form of birth control. Thoughts? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 15:09, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Something something not an encyclopedia, something something obvious.--JorisEnter (talk) 15:12, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Something something what did you vote for (merge or not)? Also — if you're worried it's getting too encyclopedic — in the process of merging, I plan to add more relevant content. :3 Reverend Black Percy (talk) 15:33, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Wait, I think I just got it. You agree that Condom should be merged into Birth control because we're not a general encyclopedia. Did my brain-smarts do me well? :D Reverend Black Percy (talk) 15:46, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

They most certainly did.--JorisEnter (talk) 01:14, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I do not believe this will be a sinful union. Nerd271 (talk) 01:22, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

...and since you're presumably an atheist, and since all atheists wanna do is hate God and revel in sin, you don't support the merger (due to the lack of sinfulness resulting from said merger)...? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 02:00, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Which god are you talking about? There are so many of them. In any case, I think we should let those two move in together. Perhaps Aphrodite or Hera will show up to bless the new couple. Nerd271 (talk) 10:50, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Their blessing, to birth control? And here I was, under the impression that Hera and Aphrodite were likely rubber-refusing dames! (You know, based on their whole fertility-and-kink gimmick...) Reverend Black Percy (talk) 11:11, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure about Hera but Aphrodite practices free-love, does she not? Nerd271 (talk) 00:11, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

I guess Hera supports birth control whenever Zeus is banging some other god/demigod/nymph/human/whatever.--JorisEnter (talk) 00:12, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

"toO LaTE!" Reverend Black Percy (talk) 00:14, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

@Joris

@Percy Forgive me, great Zeus! But is that why they call you the father of gods and men alike? Nerd271 (talk) 00:16, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Eh, guys! This has been around since mid-August. I think we have unanimous support for merging. Nerd271 (talk) 13:18, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Let's do it. Condom into Birth control... Does it get any more obviously valid? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 13:25, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

I oppose this. Condoms have more use than being birth control, and should remain a separate article. —вιgℓʝвιgℓ (тαℓк/ѕтαℓк) 22:15, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Merge!!! ClickerClock (talk) 04:24, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Merge Humanistic psychology with Psychology (merged)

I don't think that this should be merged since both cognitive behavioral therapy and Freud's theories are off the psychology page and I think that writing a proper paragraph on each psychological theory in the psychology page would make it to crowded. Vorarchivist (talk) 16:11, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Merge! —ClickerClock (talk) 08:49, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

@Vorarchivist and {[ping|ClickerClock}}, I merged Humanistic psychology into Psychology#Humanistic psychology. Nerd (talk) 23:45, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Merge Common Purpose (USA) with Liberal media (merged)

-DiamondDisc1(talk) 21:10, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Merge!—ClickerClock (talk) 10:52, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Done. Cosmikdebris (talk) 00:43, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Merge International Metaphysical Ministry into New Thought (merged)

The former is primarily a bullet list of degrees offered by a new Thought diploma mill. It is unlikely to be expanded and could easily be reduced to a paragraph within New Thought. Cosmikdebris (talk) 21:04, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Merge Birth control into Safe sex

For the reasons presented by Bigljbigl. The article isn't just about the preggo even now. The FCP Foundation (talk/stalk) 08:46, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

No, they're not the same thing - David Gerard (talk) 10:09, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes, they are. Both are about preventing the consequences of unsafe sex, and I agree with FCP. —LJL (ᴛᴀʟᴋ/sᴛᴀʟᴋ) 22:15, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

No merge. Different enough ClickerClock (talk) 04:24, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
