[edit] Asuka Fukuda

Looks like a vanity article. — JIP | Talk 14:05, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Merge and redirect with Morning Musume, or keep. She was apparently part of the first generation of this band. Allen3 14:21, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

• I did not realise that. Now that I look at the Morning Musume article, I see that the band has included over twenty members, most of which have stub articles of their own. Although the band is notable, I don't think individual members are. But making a VfD for each of them would be ridiculous. But then, so would be singling out Asuka Fukuda. What do we do now? — JIP | Talk 14:26, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Merging these with redirects doesn't need VfD listings, as it doesn't need admin activity, anyone can do it. I'd recommend a link to this discussion in the talk page of each, to minimise the chance of reversion. No change of vote (below). Andrewa 18:08, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge. You might try wikifying things before you conclude they are vanity. Kappa 15:12, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry about that. I was probably too hasty in marking this for VfD. I'll try to read articles a little more thoroughly before deciding if they are vanity.
    I vote merge with Morning Musume for this. — JIP | Talk 16:26, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Morning Musume. Yes, always try wikifying unwikified articles, and also check what links to them. When wikifying I recommend trying any term you don't understand as well as the obvious ones using show preview, and then saving the page with only the helpful wikilinks (including broken ones sometimes), to save others the need to repeat your work. It's all about collaboration, and anything we do that saves other editors' time is of direct benefit to the project. Andrewa 18:02, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Morning Musume or delete. Article at the moment looks like nothing more than a factsheet list. Megan1967 22:51, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect this stub to the band article. — Gwalla | Talk 02:24, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. Some members/former members of Morning Musume may be notable, Asuka is not. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 08:57, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• The set of articles about Morning Musume members are a complete mess, some are developed into full articles, some are redirected back to Morning Musume, some are factlists like this, some don't have pages at all, while the Morning Musume article consists primarily of an awful lot of statistics, as well as a garbled second-language History of the band. I vote to redirect this to Morning Musume, along with all the other entries for members of Morning Musume (unless there are any particularly notable ex-members), followed by a Clean-Up of Morning Musume.
