I propose merging Pelsall Wood and Pelsall Common into Pelsall. I think the content in those articles can fit easily into the village article, indeed there is already some overlap, and a merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Pelsall. KJP1 (talk) 23:16, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

:Agree to both. Pelsall Wood looks like an attempt to fit a name to a topic and in so doing is creating a definition problem - better to avoid this by moving relevant content into the Pelsall article. Pelsall Common doesn't need the (invented?) section numbers and list of surrounding roads when Walsall.gov just states the area is split into four sections by the B4154 and Vicarage Road.[https://go.walsall.gov.uk/parks-and-green-spaces/visit-our-parks-and-play-areas/pelsall-commons] Also, putting these two under the one Pelsall name reduces unnecessary links between articles.

::Also propose merging Heath End, West Midlands to here. KJP1 (talk) 09:24, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

:::Except for the Walsall Observer, which has Heath End as a separate news heading, other sources mostly add the qualifier Pelsall i.e. "Heath End, Pelsall", so a merger for this seems appropriate. "Heath End, West Midlands" doesn't appear to be a particularly useful search term for this suburban area compared with "Heath End, Pelsall", so I'd recommend creating an additional redirect in that name.

::::{{U|Rupples}} - Will do. How long are we supposed to wait before we can execute said Mergers? Seven days? While I have you, I've been looking over the review table. We've made good progress and my gut feeling is that we're well over half-way through. One of the things we need to bottom out is those entries where you/Uncle G have made detailed comments, but I'm not wholly sure whether they've all been translated into actions; i.e. the MERGE/the REDIRECT or whatever was suggested has been done. Is there a quick way to ascertain this? I actually think Uncle G's have not been done, which is fine as I can do them, but I think yours may be more of a mix. Some of mine are in the same state, e.g. we don't yet know where the Built-up areas are going, although I doubt they will remain as standalones. Let me know your preferred approach. All the best.

:::::@KJP1, WP:MERGECLOSE says normally leave for at minimum a week. These merges are likely uncontroversial and can go ahead at the week's expiry. I'll take a look at the articles mentioned - good point, it's easy to take one's eye of the ball, procrastinate and forget. Been working on another article and taking a break from the DofB clean up this week, it felt like becoming a slog —— admire your staying power! Rupples (talk) 18:48, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

::::::A break is wise. It is a slog, and a thankless one, and I’m hugely admiring of, and grateful for, the efforts of the small band who are working on it. I gained a lot of experience on a rather gruelling four-month CCI, and I am determined this won’t take as long! KJP1 (talk) 18:54, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::::@KJP1. I'll have a go at these merges, starting with Pelsall Common. Don't recall carrying out a merge before, so it will be a learning experience. Grateful if you would check things through afterwards. Rupples (talk) 20:34, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
