[edit] Merge

Why these pages need to merge -- Alfakim --  talk  14:29, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

1. Other articles follow the procedure of listing known members of a race on the race page. See Jaffa, Goa'uld, Tok'ra.
2. That's where the information is relevant, in context, accessible, and useful.
3. Having a seperate page for a list merely generates an out-of-place and uninformative load of text that no one's ever likely to read or find in context.
4. These lists aren't big enough issues in Stargate to warrant seperate articles for themselves.
5. In each case, e.g. the Athosians, the Athosians are inextricably linked to the Athos article. Athosians are from Athos, Athos is the home of Athosians. The connection is absolute and exclusive, they are bound.
6. In talking about one, you're inevitably talking about another. Why split it?
7. Merging these pages would cut down on the number of pages in general (making things generally easier and more informative), and would bring more useful information together, also giving some depth to articles like Athos. Too many seperate lists can be pointless.

completely agree, almost 90% of the characters mentioned here all ready have a paragraph on Tau'ri characters in Stargate Atlantis anyway. the others should simply be added in an "Other Tau'ri" paragraph, similar to those on most character lists... Maartentje 12:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggest rename

I sugegst the page be renamed to ever: "Terran personnel of Atlantis" or "Tau'ri personnel of Atlantis" -- Reason: The current tite doesnt sound "right" and also sounds repetitive (2 mentions of Atlantis) plus both suggestions are shorter. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 14:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean by "right"? --Andromeda 19:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I dont know how to explain, it just sounds complicated. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 22:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, as there was no objections i moved the page to "Tau'ri personnel of Atlantis" and setup a redirect from "Terran personnel of Atlantis" to "Tau'ri personnel of Atlantis". :-) Matthew Fenton (contribs) 13:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
