How to propose merger

I've read the proposed merger section explanation, but I'm still confused about how it should be done. I wish to propose that the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRINK be merged into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_Upheaval. I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.

Looks like TwinBoo has competently created a proposal. Visit Talk:Axis_of_Upheaval#Merge_proposal to weigh in on it. Let us know if it is still not clear how this is done. ~Kvng (talk) 15:02, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Appreciate you letting me know. Mrodowicz (talk) 10:13, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this considered consensus?

Step 4 of the merging process states: "Any user, including the user who first proposed the merge, may close the discussion and move forward with the merge if enough time (normally one week or more) has elapsed and there has been no discussion or if there is unanimous consent to merge." This edit claims consensus, I'm wondering: is this really considered consensus? KatVanHuis (talk) 09:31, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@KatVanHuis Yes, see WP:SILENTCONSENSUS. FaviFake (talk) 16:00, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello FaviFake, thank you for your reply. However, I clearly voiced my opposition, so "silent consensus" doesn't apply here. KatVanHuis (talk) 16:26, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I didn't notice. I assumed there was no opposition. You can read more about it in WP:NAC and judge the case based on that policy. If you find it was violated, see WP:BADNAC for next steps. You can challenge the closure at WP:CLOSECHALLENGE FaviFake (talk) 16:43, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again FaviFake for your reply. I will have to delf into that. Seems the only way is to go WP:AN... Any of the many options that you could recommend there? KatVanHuis (talk) 10:41, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kinda new here, and I've never witnessed a closure challenge. You can attract an admin to your talk page by placing the {{Admin help}} template and linking to the discussion and explaining the situation. There are also other options, like a list of most active admis so you can contact them directly. I don't know how long the wait time is for the template. FaviFake (talk) 20:38, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely closed prematurely and not good form to non-administratively close a contested proposal that one started. The discussion should be reopened and the merge reverted. I would start with a WP:BRD-type discussion. Have you tried bringing this up directly with Akpqegoj? ~Kvng (talk) 13:47, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
