[edit] Mechanical Hound

minor character; little useful content (direct quotes from book); should be merged with main article? Nyvhek 21:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete also are the quotes are long enough that we should worry about a possible copy vio? Artw 21:56, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep very minor character in an extraordinarly notable book. I say weak keep only because of precedent of keeping extraordinarly minor characters in extraordinarly unimportant and non-notable videogames etc. Otherwise I would vote delete. I strongly feel that precedent requires that we vote keep. I will work to change that precedent but not on one of the greatest pieces of english literature. --Nick Y. 22:39, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep Quotes seem to be gone (They are still there, but I missed them owing to not using block quotation. They should be shortened.), and the article can be expanded into the personification of the forces of opression and distrust embodied in the hounds. More so then a charecter the hounds represent a great example of making intangible forces into charecters in fiction. -M^ask 00:55, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Fahrenheit 451 without the quotations from the book, per WP:FICT. --Metropolitan90 02:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to F451. Not much need to merge information. -- nae'blis _(talk) 17:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Smerge and redirect to Fahrenheit 451. Does not seem to be notable enough per WP:FICT. Stifle (talk) 21:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Metropolitan90. Scoo 07:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Not a significant character.--Runcorn 20:13, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I think it's meaningless to have an article about the Hound without the context of a description of the rest of the book. There's no content here to merge elsewhere. Worldtraveller 21:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - complete OR, no sources. Merge is not an option because we would simply be adding more unsourced material to the main article. BlueValour 22:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - for the moment I have removed the text that concerns me, pending sourcing. BlueValour 22:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
