=== [[1990 Burger King dolls]] into [[Burger King]] ===
 
A minor article that could just as easily be put into the Burger King page. <span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)
 
  
=== [[3rd Base Point]] and [[Make-Out Point]] into [[Inspiration Point]] ===
+
=== [[Little Bo Peep]] and [[Bo Peep]] ===
I personally disagree with this merge as I feel that they are all separate locations. 3rd Base Point and Make-Out Point overlook different angles of Springfield so could be different places. <span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

There's the Marge costume and reference in "[[Lisa Gets the Blues]]" plus the nursery rhyme in "[[Yokel Chords]]" seem better to put them all together with the existing articles. [[User:Snowball II|Snowball II]] ([[User talk:Snowball II|talk]]) 06:34, July 6, 2024 (EDT)

:Yeah, I'm fine with this.

=== [[Artists (reprise)]] into [[Artists]] ===
 
Obvious reason really. <span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Obviously the same film.

=== [[Susan]] into {{ap|Becky|student}} ===
 
I agree with this. They seem to be the same student, just different names. An easy mistake for background characters. <span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)
 
 
 
=== [[Springfield Atoms Stadium]] into [[Buzz Cola Dome]] ===
 
Same building, different name.

=== [[Clip and $ave]] into [[Clip and Save]] ===
 
Names are too similar to not be the same place.

I totally disagree with this.

=== [[Snipper Cuts and Shaves]] into [[Jake's Unisex Barbershop]] ===

=== [[List of Krusty products]] into [[KrustyCo Inc.]] ===
 
I disagree with this.

=== [[Mom]] into [[Shoshanna]] ===
 
Agree. Same person. Just dyed her hair. Facial structure and earrings are exactly the same.

:The Pentagon is in Arlington, so any appearances of that would count as an appearance of Arlington, in the same way that if the Statue of Liberty is shown, that's an appearance of New York City.

When it's a location such as Mount Rushmore, there's not a separate article for the Black Hills.

Merge requests[edit]

Little Bo Peep and Bo Peep[edit]

There's the Marge costume and reference in "Lisa Gets the Blues" plus the nursery rhyme in "Yokel Chords" seem better to put them all together with the existing articles. Snowball II (talk) 06:34, July 6, 2024 (EDT)

Yeah, I'm fine with this. They are supposed to be the same character. The Solar Dragon 06:41, July 6, 2024 (EDT)

Split requests[edit]

Arlington[edit]

Unsure if any of the appearances are to Arlington as a city. Seems it's either the Pentagon or specifically Arlington National Cemetery in each case. Snowball II (talk) 11:07, June 14, 2024 (EDT)

The Pentagon is in Arlington, so any appearances of that would count as an appearance of Arlington, in the same way that if the Statue of Liberty is shown, that's an appearance of New York City. As for the cemetery, it's only been shown in one episode, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. And with it getting a mention as well, I'll probably throw up an article for it tomorrow. However, the city page should remain. The Solar Dragon 19:18, July 2, 2024 (EDT)
I guess, but NYC would have its own article since there have been appearances or mentions beyond just the Statue of Liberty and there isn't a separate article for Liberty Island. I'm not disagreeing they are in Arlington, NoVa, but a line "Arlington National Cemetery is blah, blah located in Arlington, Virginia directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C." with or without a wikilink to Arlington the place and same with the Pentagon which would wrap it rather than a separate article for Arlington just to restate it's an urban county near D.C. and relist the info from the National Cemetery and Pentagon pages since no mentions nor appearances of the actual Arlington, Va. When it's a location such as Mount Rushmore, there's not a separate article for the Black Hills. If Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon were more in actually urban Arlington I might not bother, but both are kind of remote (I guess technically it's the Pentagon City area of Arlington) and onto themselves like an airport and Orly Airport doesn't also need a page just to restate Orly is a commune of Paris or Westchester, California article for LAX. And Arlington National Cemetery is not named after the city/county, but both are named after Robert E. Lee's mansion. Snowball II (talk) 23:59, July 5, 2024 (EDT)
So, just to be clear, are you saying that the current Arlington page should be deleted? Or repurposed into something else? The Solar Dragon 06:41, July 6, 2024 (EDT)
I guess to redirect to Arlington National Cemetery since every mention so far to the cemetery. Not trying to make precedent for any of other similar circumstances. I know I make minor stuff into the hill I will die on, but this isn't one of them. No plans to be in any kind of a huff if it's unchanged. Snowball II (talk) 11:03, July 6, 2024 (EDT)
