The result was delete. A strange case: none of the merge proposals are sensible. These characters are not in the books, so merging into a book-related article doesn't make sense, and there is no coverage of these characters in the film article. None of these articles contain any useful content anyway, so if someone ever does want to access the deleted articles, I can help. Mangojuice^talk 20:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zeke (character)

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

Unnotable character from the Oz film. Fails WP:FICT and is unsourced WP:PLOT. A minor character of no notability, though could be covered in the The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) -- Collectonian 21:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because thye are also relatively minor, unnotable characters that, if any notability does exist, should be covered in the The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) as its the only film they are in:

Professor Marvel (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Nikko (The Wizard of Oz) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Merge them all into Minor characters from Wizard of Oz. Although they are too minor to merit their own article, one article for all of them is suffice. In fact, a lot of the characters from [1] can be merged into one article. I'll even do it if it isn't deleted.Tavix 22:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Most of the characters in that category are already in a HUGE list of List of characters in the Oz books that is just a list of links to the article. I agree the book characters should all be merged into that article, with the minor characters removed all together. The characters from the film, however, that are unique to the film should simply be mentioned in the film article, if at all. Collectonian 23:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete all - No notability outside of the plot section of Wizard of Oz. Judgesurreal777 22:29, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. There is not much that can be said about such a minor character. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect Professor Marvel to Frank Morgan. He portrayed the Wizard in the film. Fee Fi Foe Fum 07:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Nikko (The Wizard of Oz) and Zeke (character). Fee Fi Foe Fum 07:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to either The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) or The Wizard of Oz book to film comparison, or to a new article about minor characters in the film (and its stage adaptations). A good reliable source for secondary and real-world information about these minor characters is The Making of the Wizard of Oz: Movie Magic and Studio Power in the Prime of MGM.

• Merge and redirect to The Wizard of Oz (1939 film), or just redirect'. There seems to be nothing of interest to say about this character, and it is certainly not worth its own article. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge them all into List of characters in the Oz books, to which I have already redirected Minor characters from Wizard of Oz. One decent article should be able to handle them all. Bearian (talk) 20:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
