I would like to merge all three Borribles articles (The Borribles, The Borribles Go For Broke, The Borribles: Across the Dark Metropolis) to this page. I've looked at the page for The Lord of the Rings books and I think we have a better chance of building one good article like this rather than three separate articles. Plus "Borribles" are not well known creatures, and I think it would be better to have one page which describes what they are and then lists their adventures, rather than three pages which each have to describe the Borribles.

Since I'm the only one doing any serious work on these pages I thought about just merging the articles: but then I thought better. So I'm going to give it a week. Stick your supports and opposes on this page. If there aren't any comments within a week I'll just go ahead and merge the articles... -Jim (Talk) 22:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

  Sounds good, mate. Go for it !

[edit] Merged!

I've merged the three articles on the separate books to here. See above for my rationale. The three articles now redirect to The Borrible Trilogy. For easy reference, the final versions of these articles (before changing to redirects) can be found at:

• The Borrible Trilogy: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Borribles&oldid=63440240
• The Borribles Go For Broke: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Borribles_Go_For_Broke&oldid=63226741
• The Borribles: Across the Dark Metropolis: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Borribles:_Across_the_Dark_Metropolis&oldid=63227024
