Merge

1990 Burger King dolls into Burger King

A minor article that could just as easily be put into the Burger King page. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Agree. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:24, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Merge, to small for a own article. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Totally Agree. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 13:38, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree with merge. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

3rd Base Point and Make-Out Point into Inspiration Point

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. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST) ~Per Solar. -- CJC 12:12, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Per Solar. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:24, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split. Diffrent names and places. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Keep split. Especially with Inspiration Point because it's not even a cliff, it looks more like a park. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Artists (reprise) into Artists

Obvious reason really. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Merge, a song in two parts. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Totally Agree. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 13:33, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Merge, definitely. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Astro-Heist: Gemini-3 into Astro Heist on Gemini 3

Obviously the same film. The only reason I want it this way round is episodes > games. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

• Yep. -- CJC 12:12, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:24, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split, diffrent names. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Except they aren't really different names. They appear to be the same film and the only difference is the film poster differs from the : and on. What you're saying is similar to saying The Avengers and Avengers Assemble are different films. Some films have multiple names, mainly in other countries, but they do. The Solar Dragon 12:56, February 25, 2014 (EST)

I agree with Solar. The titles are virtually the same. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Springfield Atoms Stadium into Buzz Cola Dome

Same building, different name. Stadiums often have their names changed when they come under new sponsorship. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Split. Diffrent names from diffrent episodes. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Even if they have different names, the place(s) still look exactly the same. And as I said, stadiums can change when the team comes under new sponsorship. The Solar Dragon 12:56, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Agree with Solar. They're the exact same building, other than the name change. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Clip and $ave into Clip and Save

Names are too similar to not be the same place. Only reason for this is later names > earlier names. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Agree. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:24, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split. Diffrent names from diffrent stories. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree with Solar. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Gulp-N-Blow into Gulp 'N' Blow

Seems to be a mall outlet for the fast food franchise. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

• Per Solar. -- CJC 12:14, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:24, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split. Diffrent names from diffrent episodes. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

The names aren't that different, only signage is different. The restaurant is called that at other times as well. Let's go real life examples. Are you saying that a McDonald's in a mall is not part of the same chain as a McDonald's in its own building? It's part of the same chain and should be merged. The Solar Dragon 12:56, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Everything Solar said. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Howard K. Duff VII into Howard K. Duff VIII

I totally disagree with this. Everything suggests that they are different characters other than their looks. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

• One is the seventh. The other the eighth. Ergo, different. -- CJC 12:15, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Per CJC. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:24, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split. Diffrent people. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

They should be split. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 13:38, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Everything said above. I doubt the episode guide would go into such detail explaining their differences if they were meant to be the same character. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Snipper Cuts and Shaves into Jake's Unisex Barbershop

It's gone through so many name changes in the past that it is most likely one. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

• If all the others are one page, that should be. -- CJC 12:17, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split. diffrent places, only same employee. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Except Jake is the only employee implying that he owns it. His shop has changed names and looks several times. We have all the others merged into the same article. Once again, going by this logic, the Simpson House from the shorts is different from the Simpson House in the episodes as it looks different. The school from season 1 is different from the school in season 2 onwards as it's a different color. The Solar Dragon 12:56, February 25, 2014 (EST)

I agree with Solar, especially considering that the shorts didn't exactly have a whole lot of details nailed down. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

List of Krusty products into KrustyCo Inc.

I disagree with this. The page will become too long if this happened and it's notable enough for its own page. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

• Per SD -- CJC 12:17, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split, a list and the company. To big for same article. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree with Splitting them. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 13:41, February 24, 2014 (EST)

I agree with keeping them split. Especially since the merch list is nowhere near complete, and will no doubt grow as the show continues. The gallery thing looks really ugly though. :P --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Le Pamperie Hair Salon into The Perm Bank

Seems to be the same place. Last used name. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

• The first article already says that another name is the second article. -- CJC 12:18, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split. Both name was used in a comic story as two diffrent hair saloons. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

If they were both used in the same comic story, then I'll agree with you and split them. However, the article(s) need to be updated to reflect that then. The Solar Dragon 12:56, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Agree with AleWi, because of the comic. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Sky vans into Sky

Seems obvious to me really. Not really notable for its own article. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

• Yep. -- CJC 12:19, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:24, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Merge. A product from Sky. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Some Enchanted Evening original workprint into Some Enchanted Evening

Agree. Can go under production. Doesn't need its own article. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

• Yep. -- CJC 12:19, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:24, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Marge. Has with the episode, is not to big for a own article./AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

The Simpsons Movie 2007 Burger King promotion into Burger King

Same as the previous Burger King merchandise merge. It should all be kept under one roof. The Solar Dragon 17:28, February 28, 2014 (EST)

Mother bear, Father bear, and Baby bear into Bear family

What can I say about the bear family in Treehouse of Horror XI's "Scary Tales Can Come True"? They all practically have the same role as one another (and are one-time characters). I say they should all be merged into an article called Bear family. Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 12:26, April 5, 2014 (EDT)

Agreed. The Solar Dragon 18:18, April 14, 2014 (EDT)

Yep. -- Webkinz ManiaTalkContributionsEditcount 10:44, April 15, 2014 (EDT)

List of Staks in Simpsons Staks into Simpsons Staks

Two crappy articles that can be easily merged together. The Solar Dragon 18:18, April 14, 2014 (EDT)

Yep. -- Webkinz ManiaTalkContributionsEditcount 10:44, April 15, 2014 (EDT)

Chirpy Boy & Bart Junior (lizard) into Chirpy Boy & Bart Junior

Identical, no defining characteristics, can't tell them apart. The Solar Dragon 12:09, April 18, 2014 (EDT)

All books in Category:Lisa's Made for the Shade Summertime Reading List into Lisa's Made for the Shade Summertime Reading List

33 mentioned books. Tiny articles. Only really needs one page and should be as a list. The Solar Dragon 17:42, April 23, 2014 (EDT)

Susan into Becky

I agree with this. They seem to be the same student, just different names. An easy mistake for background characters. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Split. Two diffrent persons. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Agree with AleWi. Split. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 13:38, February 24, 2014 (EST)

I agree with Solar. Becky and Susan look completely identical. It's likely just a slip-up. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

Mom into Shoshanna

Agree. Same person. Just dyed her hair. Facial structure and earrings are exactly the same. Normally I would argue reused character design but the difference is fairly minor. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Split. Diffrent people from diffrent episodes. /AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Did Shoshanna ever actually talk? --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

No Shoshanna didn't talk. The name was mentioned by Snake./AleWi (talk) 14:43, April 5, 2014 (EDT)

Sweet old lady into Martha Wilson

Can't really tell without an image. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Split. Think they are diffrent people./AleWi (talk) 12:59, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Yeah, an image would be nice... --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 14:00, February 25, 2014 (EST)

The image suggests to me that they're different people. Hard to see though as she was barely seen. The Solar Dragon 15:56, May 21, 2014 (EDT)

Camp Bart into Kamp Krusty (location)

Same place, makes sense to merge them together. The Solar Dragon 13:58, May 1, 2014 (EDT)

Support. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 16:22, May 1, 2014 (EDT)

I also support this move. DoctorMcGann (talk) 23:49, May 15, 2014 (EDT)

Builders' Barn into Builder's Barn

Obviously intended to be another branch of the same location. DoctorMcGann (talk) 23:48, May 15, 2014 (EDT)

Agreed. They should be merged. The Solar Dragon 06:03, May 16, 2014 (EDT)

Agreed. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 18:11, May 21, 2014 (EDT)

Charles Montgomery Burns' adoptive father into Wainwright Montgomery Burns

Isn't Wainwright the adoptive father of Mr. Burns? Vilius (talk) 15:47, June 18, 2014 (EDT)

No. Different people. The Solar Dragon 16:13, June 18, 2014 (EDT)

Well, in Charles Montgomery Burns page it says "Adoptive father: Wainwright Montgomery Burns"... I'm also sure he is really the adoptive father of Mr. Burns. I can't understand how can they be different people, can you explain? Vilius (talk) 12:42, June 19, 2014 (EDT)

Well, that is wrong. They are two separate characters as they were seen in the same episode as two different people. The Solar Dragon 07:04, July 5, 2014 (EDT)

Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Neymar into FC Barcelona

Never appeared in any official media, i.e. episodes, movies, comics, etc. Just promotional pictures, therefore, not notable enough for their own articles. The Solar Dragon 07:04, July 5, 2014 (EDT)

Springfield Civic Center into Springfield Community Center

Obviously the same place, exactly the same design. Just different name in a couple of episodes. The Solar Dragon 11:57, September 13, 2014 (EDT)

Agreed. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 12:40, September 13, 2014 (EDT)

Agreed. It's the same building. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 13:50, September 13, 2014 (EDT)

TV3+ into TV3 (Denmark)

Same channel, just an hour later... The Solar Dragon 16:41, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

I don't think it's a +1 one channel like in a lot of countries. This seems to be a different channel with different shows. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 16:44, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

Well, same principal as the Sky and Fox channels then... Actually, all the TV3 channels should be merged together. The Solar Dragon 17:08, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

What? Sky+ isn't even a channel... We only have two TV3 articles anyway. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:12, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

Sky2, Sky3, Sky Living etc. I meant merging those channels into one article, which is what we did on the Sky article... And we have 4 TV3 articles, and one red link. The Solar Dragon 17:44, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

The Hungarian and Lithuanian TV3s aren't the same, just like the foreign FOXs. (or FOXes?) | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:45, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Lithuania are all part of the Viasat family, same company owns them. The New Zealand one is different though. The first four should be merged together. The Solar Dragon 17:52, September 18, 2014 (EDT)

M.C. Birthday into M.C. Safety

Clearly the same rapper (with the same crew) simply going by a different M.C. name. Bleedinggumsmurphy1 (talk) 17:30, October 17, 2014 (EDT)

Yep, agreed. The Solar Dragon 17:43, October 17, 2014 (EDT)

Split

Steve Austin into Steve Austin and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

Two different people. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Split, diffrent people. /AleWi (talk) 13:05, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Concur. Split. -- Mythigator (talk) 14:50, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Gorilla the Conqueror into Gorilla the Conqueror and Gorilla the Conqueror (character)

Article is currently about the character. Needs one for the show and character, which is all mixed up at the moment. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Merge. Have not enough information for two articles. /AleWi (talk) 13:05, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Needs more consideration. What we know about the character is basically the same as what we know about the film, so a split would result in two nearly identical articles. Maybe we could rework the article so that it's more clearly about the character, just give the film a mention in the course of the article, and then have the film article just be a redirect to the character article? -- Mythigator (talk) 14:50, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Greyhound puppies into Greyhound puppies (first litter) and Greyhound puppies (second litter)

Two different sets of puppies. Shouldn't be on the same article. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Split. Two diffrent sets. /AleWi (talk) 13:05, February 24, 2014 (EST)

A split that definitely needs to happen. -- Mythigator (talk) 14:50, February 24, 2014 (EST)

iPod into iPod and iPod (characters)

This is the suggested split. I, however, don't believe the characters are notable for their own article and should only get a mention. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Merge. It's the same product/person. /AleWi (talk) 13:05, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Jurassic Park into Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park (film)

First one is the reference article. Second for the film. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Split. Diffrent objects. /AleWi (talk) 13:05, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Concur with the split. -- Mythigator (talk) 14:50, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Split. Jurassic Park has more than enough references to get it's own ref page. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 12:50, February 28, 2014 (EST)

The Springfield Inquisitor into The Springfield Inquisitor and The Springfield Inquisitor (building)

Main one should be the magazine. Other can be the building. The Solar Dragon 17:07, February 20, 2014 (EST)

Split. Diffrent objects. /AleWi (talk) 13:05, February 24, 2014 (EST)

Yeah, I'm ok with this. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 12:50, February 28, 2014 (EST)

Lunchlady Dora and Lunchlady Dora

Should we move Lunchlady Dora to Lunchlady Dora for the episodes with start at "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer" based on this tweet? /AleWi (talk) 14:42, April 5, 2014 (EDT)

No. They are the same character. The Solar Dragon 11:17, July 5, 2014 (EDT)

Melissa and Nina Skalka

Should we delete the redirect and leave only the "Melissa" version? According to Wikisimpsons Non-Canon Policy, the game "Virtual Bart" is non-canon and the character has been mentioned as "Melissa" in an episode and mentioned as "Nina Skalka" in a Game which is considered Non-canon, and "If another source contradicts an episode, the episode comes first. Before books, etc." / Loco87 ^{(Talk / Contribs)}16:15, May 4, 2014 (EDT)

What episode was she referred to as Melissa? Bleedinggumsmurphy1 (talk) 18:17, May 4, 2014 (EDT)

The episode is "Milhouse doesn't live here anymore". Notfut (talk) 18:17, May 4, 2014 (EDT)

Didn't somebody check that already? I think they found Mrs. K actually calls her "missy". --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 22:39, May 4, 2014 (EDT)

"Milhouse doesn't live here anymore" is the first episode where she talks, but she is never named, when Mrs. K called her "missy" it was "Home Sweet Homediddly" (or whatever that episode was called) and "missy" was in the sense of little miss and not her actual name Bleedinggumsmurphy1 (talk) 02:37, May 5, 2014 (EDT)

Yes, I know "missy" wasn't her actual name. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:58, May 5, 2014 (EDT)

Well, "missy" is a short form for "Melissa". / Loco87 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 14:39, May 14, 2014 (EDT)

It's also one of those names adults call children if they're annoyed at them or want to use the whole adult superiority complex. "Listen up, missy!" The Solar Dragon 16:21, May 14, 2014 (EDT)

A non-canon name is better than no name. Therefore the page stays where it is. The Solar Dragon 13:22, September 13, 2014 (EDT)
