Do not endorse. this will lead to a lot of wrong merges because Wikidata often has a valid need for having both items. Users should check Wikidata before merging. ChristianKl (talk) 16:22, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @ChristianKl: We can make this optional.Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 16:52, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - How does that change anything? It's necessary to go to Wikidata to check whether the merge makes sense and you want to let people merge without going through that step. ChristianKl (talk) 17:00, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The survey has a limit of three proposals per person; archiving this one at the proposer's request. -- DannyH (WMF) (talk) 21:43, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
