The result of the debate was merge and redirect to Minor Wheel of Time characters. Merge has already been done, and I now stride boldly forth to do all the redirecting. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 16:16, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

These are all minor characters from the Wheel of Time fantasy series by Robert Jordan and are not sufficiently important to warrant an individual article. If these were real people they'd be {{db-bio}}'ed without a blink. Not the worst example of fancruft, but fancruft nonetheless. Delete. Zunaid 11:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I've tried as far as possible to avoid nom'ing characters more central to the plot, so for example I've left Adeleas and Vandene out of this list even though their articles are equally short. Hopefully none of who's left in this list is plot-central. Please point out any errors, but please don't give away plot details ;). Zunaid 11:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• We also have lists of minor characters. Can't these be merged in a List of minor Wheel of Time characters? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:14, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge - I think the proper title would be List of minor characters in the Wheel of Time. BD2412 T 14:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: I've since found an article titled Minor Wheel of Time characters, although bizarrely the four characters currently written about are Logain Ablar, Shaidar Haran, Slayer and Verin Mathwin, three of whom have their own articles and none of whom are exactly what you'd call minor characters.

• Merge in the proper article and have redirects (for example character name could redirect to article name#character name. +MATIA ☎ 15:07, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• You don't need to clutter up AfD with this. Just go ahead and merge. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:13, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect into Minor Wheel of Time characters per Zunaid. — RJH 16:42, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Merge into Minor Wheel of Time characters per above. Jtmichcock 17:01, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per above and, incidentally, WP:FICT. — Haeleth Talk 23:20, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• Merged as requested by everyone. Checking and changing redirects now. Once this is done these articles can safely be deleted (they are highly unlikely search strings anyway). Zunaid 09:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

• Can we have Minor Wheel of Time characters renamed. If it is a list it should be named as such. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:18, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
