[edit] Marauders (Harry Potter)

The article is a recitation of the plot of various harry potter books from an in-universe perspective. As the books cover the plot in their respective articles, this is entirely duplicative and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 19:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with Prisoner of Azkaban where most of this is covered in the plot. James Potter's death and discovery of Wormtail's treachery effectively ended the Marauders as a clique so the stuff from Order of the Phoenix doesn't need to be repeated. Wl219 20:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak merge with various articles. I don't think that a blanket merge to PoA would be enough; some information needs to go on the character pages, and some should go to other books and organizations (such as Order of the Phoenix (organisation)). Do not salt, though, pending the release of JKR's upcoming "encyclopedia" which may bring need of it back. =David^(talk)_(contribs) 23:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per lack of coverage from independent sources Corpx 05:16, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

"independent sources"... pls its a book ofc there wont be any other sources.

• Merge or change it into a sort of "Disambiguation"-page only showing "The Marauders refers to James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew" or something that short not having any info, just a multi redirect. Chandlertalk 21:11, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

What if we redirect as W1219 says to a section within PoA? In hindsight, that does look like a good idea. =David^(talk)_(contribs) 21:22, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure, it could be a good section in the plot section. Judgesurreal777 21:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Most of the information is already in other articles anyway. Neville Longbottom 12:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and then create as a disambig page to each of the four separate articles; like Neville said, the information has been covered already. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 18:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
