[edit] McDonaldland characters merge

The result of this discussion was Merge
It has been two weeks (or 2 years) since this proposal was made and no one has said any thing against it. I will begin the merge today. Only three statements in two years, I guess that is the way it is sometimes.

Would anyone object strongly to merging the characters from McDonaldland (except Ronald) back to this page?--nixie 01:54, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- None here; my only comment to it is that we should make sure to make the existing stubbed articles about the characters into redirects. — THOR 16:16, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I just tagged the article as needing a merge with the character pages, I got to the talk page and found out that it was proposed already two years ago. I guess I wasn't the only one to think of this, that make sense.
Reasons for merger:
- Besides Ronald, the individual characters' articles are all stubs and they really would fit in the main body of this article;
- Most of the material in the articles is duplicated across the various article, primarily the information about the streamlining done in the 1980's;
- In several of these articles more than half is a trivia section;
- Many of the minor character articles consist only a single or pair of paragraphs;
- The Kroft's lawsuit is mentioned in several articles that are all about the same topic.
I am going to contact the editors about the two posts from 2005 and see if the are still of the same mind.

Hello,
In 2005 you posted to the McDonaldland talk pages about a proposed merge of the individual characters' pages into the main body of the McDonaldland article. I cannot see if this was ever done and I have recently proposed the same.
If you would like to comment on this, please check out the McDonaldland characters merge discussion.

Support I put the reasons in the proposal - Jeremy (Jerem43 07:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC))
- Cheers on the follow-up, and I still support an appropriate merge. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 11:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Professor
There was also a "Professor" character. I remember him having long, white hair and a beard, wire-rim spectacles, and a lab coat. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It's a city because it has a mayor?
I can't agree. Cities are not the only governments to have mayors. E.g.
