Merge all into this article?

Except for the most significant characters, none are notable and they will likely fall to AfD. Comments? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I follow the following strategy. I tagged almost articles for notability per WP:FICTION. After some weeks/months I prod for deletion all the articles that are less than 5 lines and have insignificant history. All the others I convert them to redirects. I don't tag all the articles altogether to give a chance for people to improve them or express their disagreement. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:11, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Magioladitis Since you last posted here a lot of character articles have been created or expanded. The example I came upon is Jack Michaelson which is definitely doesn't meet the GNG and I'm confident would fail AfD. Is there a systematic way to deal with all these articles, most of which wouldn't pass AfD? -M.Nelson (talk) 11:46, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

M.Nelson I think you may resume the effort I did 12 years ago. I think now we have a better understanding that these pages should all be trimmed and merged. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:51, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Short TOCs that have nearly all letters work better with all letters

Short tables of contents work best when either: 1) all letters are represented, so someone clicking on a random letter will go to the right place in the alphabet 2) when a lot of letters are missing, so it's abundantly clear that the alphabet is incomplete. I've filled out the alphabet.

Links to character pages

There's not a lot of point in having a list without any web links, so I've turned some of the names into links. Many of these pages already exist; many others are still to be created. I've deliberately chosen only the characters that I remember from my time as a Brookside viewer (1985-1990) plus a few others I know to be significant characters (eg Beth Jordache) - I'll add in new articles for characters as soon as I can. Hopefully someone can help with other characters I've not marked. Niki2006 (talk) 20:34, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Most of the links you re-created are just redirects to the same article. Me and some pother users have delinked them. Moreover, most of the characters are failing notability per WP:FICT. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Character pages

In line with other characters on other soaps, I am going to start creating pages of some of the more notable characters (Ron Dixon, Beth Jordache, Mandy Jordache, Trevor Jordache, Bobby Grant, Shiela Grant, Sinbad, Jackie Corkhill, Lindsay Corkhill etc).
