Should you merge? That's really just down to the judgement of you and anyone else who wishes to contribute to the discussion on the talk pages.
How... You incorporate the content "by hand" - adding text from the source page where it seems appropriate. If a whole page should be moved into the destination book then you can use the Move function to do this. Once you've finished merging the text, add {{now merged|destination page}} to the page you took the original information from. An admin will then perform a history merge.

I have a few pages [1] where it has been proposed other pages be merged into my book or a chapter in it. What are the steps for figuring out whether that should be done? And if it should be done, what are the steps for carrying it out?
Regards, /Lars
