[edit] merge from Pauline Puyat

It doesn't seem like the Pauline Puyat article is notable enough by itself. It should probably be merged into this article. --AbsolutDan ^(talk)

Agreed.--Rockero 01:39, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Certainly we should at least have articles on each book in the Erdrich universe before having articles on individuals within those books: then again, in an encyclopedia with so many articles on pop ephemera, it's nice to have literary characters feature. On the principle that Wikipedia is not paper, and that there's a lot more to be said about all the residents of Erdrich's world, I vote Keep and don't merge. Vizjim 19:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Vizjim. So much could be said about Pauline alone.--Anon. User

OK - not being familiar with these works I will defer to the knowledge of the above editors. Feel free to remove the merge templates from both articles (but please leave this discussion intact for future reference) --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 20:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Absolutely agree

Having read the book Tracks I 100% agree. Pauline Puyat is a fictional character, and is only a part of Erdrich's imagination. Therefore, to avoid confusion, they should be merged.--CTwikipedier 02:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
