List of last surviving Canadian war veterans

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

I am nominating this article for deletion because I am planning on combing the last Canadian, U.S., and Mexican war veterans into one page and title it "Last North American veterans by war". This page has been "abandoned" due to no editions nor updates. Sources are not properly cited and their is too little information. By combing a bunch of countries under one from one continent (similar to Europe), the article will be larger and be more widespread. --Nick Ornstein (talk) 01:20, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't see a problem with merging these articles into one - as such, instead of deleting this article just be WP:BOLD and make it a redirect to your new consolidated page, as a viable search term... - Pmedema (talk) 02:19, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there a simple way of merging? Can it be done by a bot? --Nick Ornstein (talk) 02:44, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The simple way of merging is just copying the content over into sections labelled USA, Canada, Mexico. Remember to leave edit comments saying what page each section was copied from, and at those pages mention that the contents were merged to whatever your list name is. If you plan to do more integration than that... you would need to write your own bot, since this seems like a very specific task that needs custom coding. But doing the simple merging, is possible by bot... if such a bot exists. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:43, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Help:Merging will tell you what is necessary. An AfD is not required for a merge. Resolute 05:41, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I have already requested merge and nothing happened. Reasoning was stated, and I put it on both of the pages that would have been affected, nothing for over one week.

I posted it again. --Nick Ornstein (talk) 22:07, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: Nick, maybe I'm repeating what you already know, but you should probably go ahead and do the merge yourself - WP:BOLD. Buckshot06 (talk) 05:30, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
