Lapras
Merge results do not require that 100 percent of the article be included. You appear to be aware of how to edit Wikipedia, so if you identify anything missing, it is your responsibility to add it. The article does not have to remain open until you deem it is adequately merged. If you keep edit warring instead of adding the missing content, I will treat it as disruptive editing and involve an administrator. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 01:48, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- To add to this - the fact that you feel not enough content was merged is not sufficient reason to restore the article wholesale. We're talking about merging, not deletion, so the page history is still there. You can pull content from the page history if you wish to add further content. Article restoration is not necessary to expand content at the merge target. Please stop. Sergecross73 msg me 01:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not to pile on, but the most recent AfD was closed as merge, so that means if you think the merge was not done correctly, then the solution is to discuss at the merge target about what content is there, not to un-merge/redirect the source. Especially not to do so twice in a row without further discussion. You've been an editor for a decade, you know better. --PresN 02:03, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- It does feel rather like a pile on to have three people come to my talk page to say the same thing. @Cukie Gherkin@PresN@Sergecross73 The result was "merge" which yes doesn't require 100% of content to be kept but it ought to require more than zero - yet last time I checked nobody has added anything to the target since the merge was reached. You can flip the argument on its head and point out that the "merge" is much more likely to be achieved if the article remains published with the merge notice on top. Unfortunately you have found a back door to deletion which seems to be very common on Wikipedia. Garuda3 (talk) 14:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- If there was something that needed to be merged, one of your messages would include an example of content that should be merged - or your edit history would include edits addressing content that needed to be merged. You speak of a "back door to deletion," which is an interesting comment to write as someone who, in my eyes, appears to be trying to use technicalities to overturn a deletion discussion. You can either identify what content needs to be merged, or add the content. Anything short of that, to me, tells me that you're just disrupting editing with wikilawyering. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 14:08, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- If you're unhappy with how the merge was done then go ahead and fix it yourself. No ones stopping you from doing that, so you have no grounds to complain about "deletion". Undoing the merge altogether is a step in the wrong direction though. That's actively editing against consensus and not okay. Sergecross73 msg me 14:15, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
