[edit] Robin Masters

• Merge with Magnum P.I. I don't think a character that never shows up in a series merits his own entry. Arundhati bakshi 18:27, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. It's true that Robin Masters never shows up in person, but that's not because he was a minor character; instead, the show deliberately kept the identity of Robin Masters a secret, teasing viewers (and Thomas) with the puzzle of "Who is Robin Masters"? I didn't see the show myself, so I don't know whether this was a major element or a minor quirk, hence why my "keep" is a weak one. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:19, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Robin seems to be the only character to have his own page. Merge Thatcher131 19:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect to Magnum P.I. per nom; I disagree that he's not notable in the context of the show, but the characters in the show haven't been notable enough in general to have separate articles. If Higgins and TC and Rick and Icepick and Mac haven't got pages, Robin doesn't need one. Georgewilliamherbert 03:54, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. The logic for deletion seems flawed. Vegaswikian 06:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep as the nominator's vote was to merge, not to delete, and there are no delete votes. Merger doesn't need to come here. Just slap a {{mergeto}} tag on the page, and include the target page after a |. Stifle 14:40, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry, didn't know about the mergeto tag, but that's what I would favour, not ridding it from the encyclopedia, but putting it intp context within the Magnum P.I. article. Arundhati bakshi 16:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
