[edit] Major revision needed

I think that this page should be renamed (moved to) Tomb Raider characters and the following pages should be merged into it:

• Jacqueline Natla
• Larson (Tomb Raider)
• Pierre Dupont (Tomb Raider)
• Lord Richard Croft
• Werner Von Croy
• Kurtis Trent

I suggest this because all of the above pages have serious issues with sources, notability, and they are mostly written from an in-universe perspective. I'd like this page to be something similar to Indiana Jones characters, with characters sorted by which game introduces them. Any thoughts or objections?~ Dusk Knight 22:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I've moved the page to Tomb Raider characters and added links and brief descriptions for major characters. However, it has occurred to me that much of the content here may be redundant considering most of the TR game pages have character sections. So, is it better to have a centralized character page and merge character sections from the game pages? Or would it be better to merge the information from this page into the appropriate game pages? There's really no reason to have both.~ Dusk Knight 21:21, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

It's a good idea what you have decided to do, if you need any help please feel free to ask for it. Tuloc (talk) 08:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I've merged the TRA and TR3 character lists here. I've only just gotten around to tagging the above character pages so I will hold off on those for a while.~ Dusk Knight 05:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I suggest that the character sections from the various Tomb Raider game articles be merged into this article because there is a great deal of redundancy among these sections. A centralized character page will keep the character descriptions consistent and will allow for more useful redirects for recurring characters like Winston (Tomb Raider) and Zip (Tomb Raider). Also, I should mention that I have done the opposite for the Game Boy characters since this page had a lot more information than the actual game pages.~ Dusk Knight 21:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
