File:Coat of arms of Palestine (Official).svg → File:Coat of arms of Palestine.svg

• Request: [Merge]
• Reason: File:Coat of arms of Palestine (Official).svg is a more accurate depiction of the coat of arms while the one currently on File:Coat of arms of Palestine.svg uses an old file of the Eagle of Saladin. Since the latter is used on many Wikimedia projects, I think it would be best to merge the two.

FILE:无锡机场-nosign.jpg → FILE:无锡机场-nosign (2).jpg

• Request: Split
• Reason: The new version (2014) of the file overwrite the old one (2010) while the object, taken angle, time of taken are all very different --MNXANL (talk) 05:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

File:Nickelodeon 2023 logo.svg → File:NICK-2023.svg

• Request: [Merge]
• Reason: File:Nickelodeon 2023 logo.svg uploaded in April 2023 has a smaller file size (512 x 390 px; 5 KB), had a public domain license, and more widely used file by many Wikipedians. Meanwhile, File:NICK-2023.svg uploaded by a suspected sockpuppet Olliex2b in May this year has a bigger file size (1,157 x 828 px; 21 KB), a duplicate of previously-uploaded file with same object, and have purported CC0 license which in fact shouldn't be own work. Given that File:Nickelodeon 2023 logo.svg had more widely used than the File:NICK-2023.svg, has a smaller file size, and has more obvious license for the former, the former should be merge with the latter, using smaller file size for two combined files, and renaming the latter files as File:Nickelodeon 2023 logo.svg as a single file for both.

File:The Patriotic Song (2000 Russian presidential inauguration).webm → File:The Patriotic Song.ogv

• Request: [Merge]
• Reason: The former file is a higher quality version of the same video.

 Not done. Different file formats. Use {{Duplicate}} or {{Superseded}} instead. --Sreejith K (talk) 03:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

File:BT Group logo.svg → File:BT logo 2019.svg

• Request: [Merge]
• Reason: File:BT Group logo.svg that uploaded in 2021 by Wdwdbot (which is transfer from German Wikipedia file that uploaded by Marsupilami in 2020) is essentially a duplicate of File:BT logo 2019.svg that uploaded in October 2019, despite having different file size for each other (999 x 999 (1 KB) for the latter and 768 x 768 (2 KB) for the former). So, to prevent the redudancy of the logo size, the two similar files should be merged as a single file and named File:BT logo 2019.svg as the name for both combined files.
