Talk:Persons in the Book of Mormon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would it not be better to list these people individually in seperate articles? --Kwekubo 23:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Not really. There isn't more than a paragraph worths of information known about these people, yet they are linked to in various places. Though I admit this article will probably need to be renamed, I think it's a good place for them. There's other articles on Wikipedia like this; such as when the Pokemon stubs were all merged, and the Lord of the Rings horses were all marged to one article. Antley 23:48, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

It seems sensible to me to use this page as a clearinghouse for relatively minor characters. If a character is mentioned in another article with an unresolved link, they could be added here. If and when someone decides they deserve an article of their own they could be removed. FYI, most, if not all, names in the Book of Mormon, D&C and Pearl of Great Price are indexed here. The information in these entries could be used as a starting point.--andersonpd 20:23, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

The result was merge into List of Book of Mormon people. --Descartes1979 (talk) 06:10, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I propose we merge this article with List of Book of Mormon people. The two articles are awfully redundant.

  • Merge --Descartes1979 (talk) 03:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge Certainly; these are redundant. Merge the other into this one, or move them both to List of persons in the Book of Mormon. If the list is too long, make List of persons in the Book of Mormon (A-M) and List of persons in the Book of Mormon (N-Z) and make the original a disambiguation page. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 21:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge agreed, redundant articles are a nuisance and only create difficulty for readers. --Storm Rider (talk) 01:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge I didn't even realize that there were 2 lists. At a glance, they look like they overlap. Leon7 (talk) 02:39, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge — I don't have a preference of one article name over the other. Keep as much of the information from Persons in the Book of Mormon as possible. — Val42 (talk) 05:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Looks like the vote is pretty unanimous - so I will move forward with the merge rather than waiting for any other discussion. The merge itself will be a little tricky, so I will work on it piecemeal over the next few days. --Descartes1979 (talk) 06:10, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
