Yossarian's a MINOR character?! I'm moving it. --cuiusquemodi 02:35, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

What are the reasons for wanting to merge all characters to one page? I oppose it, each character is a subject worthy of an article of its own. --62.251.90.73 17:53, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] too many articles

Merge them all. There are dozens of articles about characters from this book (see links from Catch-22). The effort is admirable but it's really way too many articles. There might not even be that many articles about LOTR characters. Phr 02:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

That LOTR is not as well documented yet or there aren't enough LOTR characters that warrant an article is no reason to remove Catch-22 articles. These articles are all pretty extensive, the information is accurate and specific on the subject. They really describe the nature of the character and do not tell the same story again. So there is no reason at all to remove them.--62.251.90.73 02:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Merge all. Place the content in one article; most are only brief and can be abbreviated by removing context which would be unnecessary if all were together e.g. "[X] is a character from Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22". SM247 02:33, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Merge all. I was surprised to see a full article on every character -- would it be preferable/more convenient to have them on one page, anyway? Is anyone going to search for them separately?

I say merge most. Yossarian should get his own article, and maybe a few of the other important ones, like the chaplain, Milo, and Cathcart; but there's really no reason why the maid with the lime-colored panties deserves her own article. Wehpudicabok 03:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
