I was going to support, but then I clicked on the categories and found out that Shopkeepers are a subcategory of this category. So, instead of it being a subcategory, you are proposing to merge them. On one hand, shopkeepers have actual shops to keep, while merchants and salespeople have other things. I have a few examples. [[Welderberg]] receives money. Not to give you something back, but to make a pipe to another location. [[Sunglasses vendor]] gives Mario sunglasses and later a shirt, but doesn't require money. [[Merluvlee]] shows locations of stuff (which can be useless if you use the internet) in the first two games she's in, and give hints to where to go to next in the last two games. And [[Merlee]] gives randomly items and this randomization is base on what is paid (mostly). All these are basically services. But, on the other hand, [[Funky Kong]] has done both. In the first three Donkey Kong Country games, his service is aircraft (and boats in 3) and minigames. But in [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]], he is a shopkeeper.

:Besides Yoshi the SSM's argument, there's also the fact that both categories are considerably large. Keeping them split eases navigation. | |||

The two categories above both serve the same purpose of listing every character who actively vends items to the player. The only difference is that one of them lists the vendors that do not have a brick-and-mortar store and the other one lists the vendors that do - I think, anyways, as the categories don't actually have a definition of what a shopkeeper or a merchant actually is. Still, that distinction is really arbitrary and not particularly beneficial. Both Dazzle and Niff T. sell items to the player in the same manner; slotting them into different categories makes them seem as if there's more of a distinction than there actually is. Practically, there's no difference, and functionally, there's no benefit. Therefore, I want to merge the two together.

I was going to support, but then I clicked on the categories and found out that Shopkeepers are a subcategory of this category. So, instead of it being a subcategory, you are proposing to merge them. On one hand, shopkeepers have actual shops to keep, while merchants and salespeople have other things. I have a few examples. Welderberg receives money. Not to give you something back, but to make a pipe to another location. Sunglasses vendor gives Mario sunglasses and later a shirt, but doesn't require money. Merluvlee shows locations of stuff (which can be useless if you use the internet) in the first two games she's in, and give hints to where to go to next in the last two games.

In the first three Donkey Kong Country games, his service is aircraft (and boats in 3) and minigames. But in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, he is a shopkeeper. Since he can easily fit in both, it would make it harder for these categories to coexist.
