This article was nominated for merging with First World War centenary on 17 January 2015. The result of the discussion (permanent link) was no consensus for a merge.

In my opinion, this article should be merged with First World War centenary which has existed longer. Does commemoration of the outbreak alone really merit an article in any case? —Brigade Piron (talk) 15:03, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was aware of that article when I created this one. That article is structured by country and covers events before and during the whole period 2014 to 2018. When looking at the sources and drafting this article, it felt like the content I'd written here would overwhelm the other article, so I thought it best to break it out as a more detailed article. A summary of this article should certainly go in First World War centenary, and I hope to do that and work more on that article later (as well as expand this one).

I tend to think, looking at the two articles now, that it would probably be sensible to merge them. Any other thoughts? W. P. Uzer (talk) 08:14, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose We've yet to see and digest the full impact of the commemoration of the Armistice. I only discovered the event at the Tower recently and went along last night to get the article on that started. It seems best to wait until it's all done and dusted before contemplating any restructure. In any case, pushing content around from page to page is not very productive and the OP doesn't give much justification for such disruption. Andrew D. (talk) 19:24, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
