====F. User provided insights:====
Users can use the request templates <code>DeletionRequest</code> ([[Template:DeletionRequest| deletion request template page]]) and <code>MergeRequest</code> [[Template:MergeRequest| merge request template page]]) to indicate pages that may need attention. Look through the  [[:Category:Articles with merge requests|Articles with merge requests]] and [[:Category:Articles with deletion requests|Articles with deletion requests]] categories ( both in the [[:Category:Todo| todo]] category) in order to look though these requests.
If a deletion request is determined to be valid the linked pages need to be handled and after that the page should be marked with the <code>{{Garbage}}</code> temlpate and protected from edits pending final deletion.
In cases of merge requests once things might not pe as simple. After moving content to the page that is to be retained the page [[Special:MergeHistory]] should be used in order to maintain the edit history and contributors. This might become complicated if multiple pages are to be merged so going through them 2 at the time should probably be the way this is handles even if it results in some inefficiencies. After merging articles the redundant pages should be marked with the <code>{{Garbage}}</code> and protected from edits pending deletion.
