![]() | Phyllis Dobbs was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 14 December 2013 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into List of Life on Mars characters. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here. |
I've removed a picture of Test Card Girl. It's non-free, so putting it on this article must be justified by a fair use case on the image page, otherwise the only effect of putting it here will be to get it automatically tagged for deletion. -- Tony Sidaway 23:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I am proposing to merge all LoM character articles are merged to this article, with the exception of Gene Hunt. I am also suggesting merging Alex Drake (Ashes to Ashes), Shaz Granger, and Jim Keats to List of Ashes to Ashes characters, along with relevant parts of Ray Carling and Chris Skelton – to streamline discussion I am centralising it here due to the substantial overlap.
Although I don't necessarily believe most of the merges to be particularly controversial, because there are multiple articles involved, some of which are in both series, it is likely to be a fairly complicated move and the how in particular could use some discussion.
My reasoning for the suggested merges is that all listed articles are of poor quality and I do not believe meet notability guidelines. Articles are largely unreferenced, with a maximum of 5, and an average of less than 3 references; most of these are from primary sources. Sam Tyler could possibly be improved upon, but I'm still unconvinced that it would warrant a full article. I haven't listed Gene Hunt because this article is much better referenced.
As for how to merge them, I can see two main routes to take:
Either way, some of the character articles may need shortening (although I believe this to be necessary anyway to remove unsourced and unnotable content). I think the lists of characters could use a trim too, but that's perhaps for another discussion.
The full list of pages suggested to be merged is:
