I would also suggest laying out the pros and cons of a merge. Questions like:


 * What would your wikis gain? What would they lose?
 * Are there enough positive aspects to warrant a merge?
 * Are the negative points things that can be improved with collaboration?
 * Do the communities get along well enough to bring about an expectation of compassion and willingness to learn from each other once merged?

Merging is more about the potential benefits to the community, than what the current admins want. It's sadly very common for admins to get caught up in their own leadership role instead of taking the wider wiki base into account. As Leafy stated, a polite conversation addressing the above points would be a great place to start when discussing a possible merge.
