The whole competing wikis on the same subject rhetoric was a thing fandom was on about earlier this year. I just thought this merging and deleting dupe wikis on same subject mandate was going to give me less work- so I thought it was kinda nice but now it looks like my topic or topics don't register on fandom's radar.

Every time I find a wiki of the same subject dead or very new (CS tends to be very supportive and in favour of this):
 * I try to reach out if there is a community, there is not been a case yet, or at least one that has replied;
 * Wait a week or a few weeks;
 * Then ticket CS if they think it is a candidate for deletion with the condition of merging, usually yes;
 * CS usually have me or with me try again to contact admins;
 * Wait a month;
 * Import the pages to keep information or records, in case any editors come back;
 * Transfer images;
 * CS deletes/redirects to my wiki.

But atm it doesn't look like that is the case. And in one case I think it was an opportunity lost of community grown in a lifestyle wiki.
