[edit] Merge proposal

The result was merge. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I propose that List of Floral Magician Mary Bell characters and Mary Bell (Floral Magician) be merged into this article:

  • List of Floral Magician Mary Bell characters the main characters only, because even with them, this article is not so overlong that that information needs splitting off for size reasons. And, indeed, without it, it looks pretty darned stubby.
  • Mary Bell (Floral Magician) because, as far as I can tell, she does not meet the notability requirements of WP:FICT -- and in any case, there's barely any information there that's not already in the list of characters.

Along the way, I've done some cleanup of the character list and article, organizing it per WP:MOS-AM and the precidents of Featured Articles about other anime. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, after two weeks of silence, I take it there's no objections. I'm going to the merges over the next day or so, starting with merging Mary Bell (Floral Magician) into List of Floral Magician Mary Bell characters, so it's all in one lump. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

According to the website of what is, if I'm reading it right, the DVD production company, the official English translation of the title is Flower Witch Mary Bell. If this is correct, the article should be moved to that title. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Yup -- that's the DVD company, which means that Flower Witch Mary Bell is the official English title (and also the one that ANN uses). However, per WP:MOS-AM the best-known title should be used -- and going by Google hits, "Floral Magician Mary Bell" is far more popular. So, um, I think the title stays where it is. However, the official one should also be documented. —Quasirandom (talk) 05:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
