[edit] Nithlings
Non-notable outside a 3 year old fantasy series. Should be merged or deleted if the information is already contained in the main article. Crossmr 23:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Definately nn on its own. Question for more experienced AfDers: Could I just boldly merge the article and then close this AfD myself? --Tango 23:44, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm not at all familiar with The Keys to the Kingdom, so I'm not going to comment on whether the article should go, but yes, of course you can (and probably should!) be bold and do the merge, as far as adding the information to The Keys to the Kingdom goes. However, you can't really put a redirect in on the old article, as that would screw up the AfD template. It's also probably best if only admins close AfDs (if only because they can delete articles if need be) -- I mean, let's assume that Nithlings are widely considered a topic that deserves its own article. You're the first person after the nominator to voice an opinion on this one, so if you were to close it, you wouldn't be acting on consensus, but on your personal opinion. A situation like that could very well lead to a lot of unnecessary friction between you and other editors. (Lots of precedents for that kind of stuff, let me tell you.) -- Captain Disdain 01:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment If you leave the redirect below the AfD template, (and leave a note in italics btween the AfD and the #redirect), it should be OK. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

- AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Merge per above. (I finally read the article. There's no "there" there.). — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 18:18, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Merge, but if the article starts getting long, make a mention of that fact in the Keys to the Kingdom talk page and separate it out again. Captainktainer * Talk 21:41, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
