This page is for proposals about how to deal with the fork article History of the Beatles and other peripheral articles about the history of the Beatles and how/whether to merge them back into the main article, The Beatles. It also addresses issues of cruft and unsourced detail in all articles about the general history of The Beatles but in particular the main article.
Detailed discussion should be taken to the talk page.
1) Remove cruft and rubbish from the History section in this article 2) Salvage anything usable from History of the Beatles and merge it here (or into a sandbox article). 3a) If the resulting History section is too long, move the new version back out to History of the Beatles and leave a brief summary here OR 3b) Replace History of the Beatles with a redirect. -- kingboyk 21:09, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps it should be considered editing the main article as a history with an introduction - using subheadings to signpost the more important developments and events - and link to every other relevant article? LessHeard vanU 21:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
List all articles which are about the general history of The Beatles here. By removing duplicate material and radically refactoring the flagship article we might able to take some of these unloved articles into say two really high quality, featured candidate articles.
I decided to be bold and nail this issue, on 2 November 2006. History of the Beatles was 47k, the History section of The Beatles was 30k. At current standards, The Beatles can stand being another 15k or so bigger. The fork has not worked and it was time to get rid of it.
The Beatles' influence on popular culture has already had a lot of work done on it, and replaced Beatlesque. Most but not all issues here have, then, been resolved. -- kingboyk 14:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
