{| style="background: #f4f7fa; border: 1px solid #abc; text-align: center; padding-left: .3em; margin-bottom: 1.5em;" Votes for Merging This page lists articles, and templates that are nominated for merging. Any Wikivoyager can make a nomination or comment on any nomination.

The purpose of this page is for all Wikivoyagers to have a say, and have more awareness of it, as merging discussions on talk pages can often not be seen.

Nominating
Add a vfm tag to the top of the articles, files or templates being proposed for merging, so that people viewing it will be aware. Place the tag at the very top, before everything else.

Add a link to the articles, or templates at the end of the list below, along with the reason why it is being listed for merging. Sign your recommendation using four tildes (" ~ ").

The basic format for a deletion nomination is:

===Gipsy Point to Mallacoota=== Gipsy Point is a small town, and is not a valid article. However, we do not delete real towns. ~

Commenting
All Wikivoyagers are invited to comment on articles, or templates listed for merging. The format for comments is:

===Chicken=== * Merge. Not useful for visitors. TravelNut 25:25, 31 Feb 2525 (UTC) * Keep. Some new hotels and things to see have opened in Gipsy Point. ~

Any attempt to merge content from an article to some other destination must retain the edit history to comply with the attribution (CC BY-SA) requirements of the free license, so it may be possible to merge and redirect but not to merge and delete. Sign your comment using four tildes (" ~ ").

Merge, or not

 * If, after 14 days of discussion, the consensus is to redirect or merge, any Wikivoyager may do it. If you make a redirect, please check for any resulting broken redirects or double redirects.
 * If, after 14 days of discussion, the consensus is to keep, any Wikivoyager may remove any VFM notices from that page, and archive the merging discussion.
 * If there is no consensus after 14 days, allow a further 7 days for discussion.
 * If, after the additional 7 days, there is no consensus, the page should be kept – any Wikivoyager may remove any VFM notices from that page, and archive the merging discussion.
 * If, after the additional 7 days, there is a consensus, implement it in line with the first three points above.
