[edit] Boar (Thomas Harris)

Boar (Thomas Harris) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

The article concerns boars as they were presented in the novel Hannibal and its film adaptation. I don't believe they are that important or needed for Wikipedia. CyberGhostface 18:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with Hannibal (novel) per WP:FICT. --Dhartung | Talk 20:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Are you saying that we should give the novel a section on the boars?--CyberGhostface 22:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

As they are part of the novel, what is the objection? --Dhartung | Talk 07:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Its part of the novel, but its not big enough to have its own section.--CyberGhostface 13:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't see anyone complaining about articles on the species featured in Star Trek and Star Wars, nor do I see objections to an article on Belvedere Ohio, which is quite small and features only in SOTL.--Dark Hyena 16:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

But this isn't Star Wars, is it? And as far as I know, the Star Wars creatures has one big article for all the minor creatures. A six movie fantasy series with literally thousands of tie-in novels, comics and etceteras is going to be chronicled different from a four novel series. As for Belvedere Ohio, if you want to put it up for AFD, by all means, go ahead.--CyberGhostface 20:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep. The species has a bit of importance in the novel, but there are important people in the novel series who may be much more deserving of their own article such as Barney Matthews and Ardelia Mapp, as discussed by CyberGhostface and me. 71.243.181.204 19:43, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Just because people can't be bothered to do a Barney or Ardelia article doesnt mean the boar article should go. User:Dark Hyena 11:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not saying that the Boar article should go. I still think that we should keep it now that we have it, but there are obvious characters in the books who are more deserving of an article. 71.243.181.204 03:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Delete per WP:NOT. It's just random. It's not a "major character"... it's a friggen plot element. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 04:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Content isn't even notable enough to add to the article for the novels, let alone have a stand-alone article. janejellyroll 05:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No assertion of notability. No sources. No attempt to comply with WP:N and WP:V. --Shirahadasha 05:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into the novel or the movie. Its a plot device. They are like the plot summaries for every movie or book, there are never references, the movie is itself the reference. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 05:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
