Articles for "Bow", "Bow (weapon)", "Bow and arrow" and "arrow thrower" in different languages are used inconsistently. It seems 82 languages have one article, 6 has two. 18 of the 88 are together with the English "en:Bow and arrow" at Q19827042, while 76 are together with German de:Bogen (Waffe), French fr:Arc (arme) and Chinese zh:弓 at Q46311. "Bow (Disambiguation)" comes separately in addition. Of the 18 it seems these 6 languages are the ones with an article in each of Q19827042 and Q46311:

ja:弓矢 and ja:弓 (武器)
ko:궁시 and ko:활
pt:Arco e flecha and pt:Arco (arma)
so:Leeb iyo qaanso and so:Qaanso
su:Gondéwa and su:Panah
ta:வில் - அம்பு and ta:வில்

I tried to simplify by [merging the remaining 12 without conflict from Q19827042 to Q46311] but was [reverted] immediately:

bn:তীর-ধনুক
cy:Bwa saeth
en:Bow and arrow
es:Arco y flecha
gd:Bogha is saighead
he:חץ וקשת
jam:Bou ah haro
mn:Нум (Зэвсэг)
nn:Pil og boge
sd:تير ۽ ڪمان
sr:Лук и стрела
su:Panah

I think these 12 should be merged from Q19827042 into Q46311 so navigation for "Bow", "Bow (weapon)", "Bow and arrow" between languages is not hindered unnecessarily. The remaining 6 should be decided by wikipedians in the respective languages. Cobanyastigi (talk) 18:56, 3 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
