[edit] Kzanol

Kzanol (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fictional character in a lesser known Known Space book. Larry Niven is my favorite sf author, but I have to say that I don't recall the Thrint's name being important within the story. It certainly fails outside notability. Page is also duplicative of the page of the book he is a character in. I don't believe that redirecting is useful here, as non-fans are not going to search by "Kzanol". Fee Fi Foe Fum 12:27, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to World of Ptavvs. We're not so pressed for space that a small redirect will strain resources. Fans might arrive via Kzanol. Gordonofcartoon 12:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect, not a bizarre search term. Note that one Dutch translation of the book was called Kzanol de ruimtepiraat (Kzanol the Space Pirate)[1], so at least for people speaking Dutch but using the English Wikipedia, it is a logical search term (hey, they exist ;-) ).

Okay, you got me there. Fee Fi Foe Fum 09:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect. I don't get the rationale non-fans are not going to search by Kzanol. Who do we think is looking him up, George Bush? It's a plausible search term. --Dhartung | Talk 19:16, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

My feeling was that it wasn't a plausible search term, what can I say? His name isn't used much in the English version of the book. Should we make a redirect for Larry Greenberg too? Fee Fi Foe Fum 09:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect. Redirects are cheap. I've merged the necessary info. Clarityfiend 21:17, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
