[edit] Asha Greyjoy
And here is another minor character from A Song of Ice and Fire. This is a series of little importance in literary history and without the same level of popularity as J.R.R. Tolkien or Robert Jordan. While the books definately deserve an entry, the literally hundreds of characters found therein do not. Fancruft with little hope for expansion. Indrian 22:48, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Asha is an important secondary character in the series. ASoIaF is not as popular as Lord of the Rings, but I'd say it rivals The Wheel of Time or even Dune in the fantasy genre. DaveTheRed 01:53, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Asha is hardly an important secondary character. She has only appeared in three or four chapters out of over 150 and has not done much of note. As for popularity, when three straight books in the series become #1 New York Times bestsellers, then I will be convinced that he is as popular as Jordan (not making a statement on quality here).

- She was prominent in the Theon plot thread, and besides she is certainly the most interesting character nominated so far. Also I know that all three made the NYT bestsellers list, but not the specific rankings they achieved. Once again, I would also support a Merge to a minor characters page too for all these characters. DaveTheRed 05:27, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- A minor character page would be appropriate. It is not the information itself that I do not like so much as the proliferation of small articles that could not be expanded to full length. Indrian 05:56, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

- Conur with Indrian, merge. Radiant! 15:19, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with more minor characters. If his entry there becomes too large, break him out. —Korath (Talk) 08:56, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge. Prompted by similar problems a few weeks ago I have tried to start a discussion about what to do wrt. merging on Talk:List of characters in A Song of Ice and Fire and would appreciate comments there. Thore 20:01, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC) Later edit: I have merged the paragraph that was this page into the House Greyjoy article. If this VfD ends in merge, this page can be redirected there.Thore 09:21, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
