- Merge - Should be merged into Queue (abstract data type) PeriodicEditor (talk) 18:18, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to Job queue — to be honest, this is a classic dictionary definition that has managed to stick around far too long without any real secondary sourcing to support it as a standalone concept. The term "command queue" does get used in technical contexts, but almost always in a very specific sense – such as NCQ for SATA or within particular GPU APIs. When those uses are pulled together into a single, generalized article, it quickly turns into a WP:SYNTH problem. There's no real need for a middleman page here when the topic is already handled more clearly and accurately in the relevant, more focused articles. EmilyR34 (talk) 04:05, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

- Redirect to Job queue. I would say "merge" (mainly because of the three examples), but there aren't any sources. Ditto for merging with Queue (abstract data type) or Priority queue (more apt of the two, but does it need more unsourced applications?).— xo Ergur (talk) 09:02, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
