Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. A redirect seems unnecessary as only one article links here (which I will correct), and I don't understand how this could be disambiguated. "Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman may refer to Margaret Weis or Tracy Hickman"? Although the bolded 'delete's are not in an overwhelming majority, it's clear that the current content should not exist (making a 'no consensus' close nonsensical) and deletion seems the most logical alternative. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 11:12, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

The article is a tiny stub, and is redundant with information found in Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Zorblek (talk) 08:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Unnecessary as there are articles on both authors, seperately. Kalani ^[talk] 08:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Per Kalathalan.--Andeh 09:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Kalathalan. JIP | Talk 09:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom Captainj 10:57, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, as per nom. PJM 12:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Margaret Weis. I don't think it's wholly impossible that someone might look them up this way, and redirects are cheap. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. While it is true that these people are pretty iconic as co-authors of the most important books in the Dragonlance series, I don't think it is fair to redirect this title to either of the authors. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Anyone interested in finding out more about these authors can look for their names individually. 23skidoo 14:18, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Disambiguate. Per Andrew Lenahan, it isn't impossible that someone may come looking for both of them. Per Sjakkalle, it isn't fair to either author to redirect to one or another's page. Disambiguation seems the answer to me. Smerdis of Tlön 14:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per everybody. - CNichols 15:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Margaret Weis. The answer to Smerdis and Sjakkalle's worries about "unfair" is that the person who chose to search for this term listed her first - we're not judging, the searcher is. Likewise, if there is a Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis page, it should redirect to Tracy Hickman. Solomon, better known as AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 15:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per Andrew. -- Captain Disdain 15:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Disambiguate per Smerdis of Tlön... a better solution than a simple redirect.--Isotope23 18:02, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Weis, since she's listed first in all the collaborations. Fan1967 20:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Disambiguate per Smerdis of Tlön and Isotope23. People may come looking for Tracy Hickman. Vorlon24 14:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The current stub essentially works as a dab page, but needs more links to their coauthored works. I wikilinked their names but I don't know enough about the stuff to add links to Dragonlance and whatever else they coauthored. ~ trialsanderrors 01:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
