Merge discussion

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To merge Mano (character), Tharok, and Validus as not independently notable; to not merge Emerald Empress as independently notable; to not merge as proposed Persuader (comics) on the grounds that there should be a better target. Klbrain (talk) 19:31, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It has been suggested in a proposed AFD for the Mano character page that all five of members of the Fatal Five group (Mano (character), Emerald Empress, Persuader (comics), Tharok, and Validus) be merged to the Fatal Five page. Starting a merge discussion here about that to try to develop a consensus for such a move. Will ask the Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics to weigh in on this discussion as well. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn 19:41, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I support this merge. The group's other media appearances meet threshold for a standalone article, but the individual members do not. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:55, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will only support this if the content is actually merged, and not just redirected as I've seen on similar pages. — Toughpigs (talk) 04:36, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~:Looking at glance. I personally think they have potential. So I don't support.~~ Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 00:07, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I redact that. I support a merge after all of them but on Emerald Empress. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 02:57, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support individual characters can be sufficiently covered on the team page. Rhino131 (talk) 12:19, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So far Emerald Empress has got more than just Fatal Five info. She is recently associated in a Suicide Squad comic in rebirth and has a little bit of reception. Also it's more than one alias involving her and the Emerald Eye of Ekron (which is more recurring than the users itself). So I don't agree on that one character. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 12:38, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also only one Persuader is involved in the Fatal Five. Since that is an unconnected alias I still support a merge somewhere but not in the Fatal Five article. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 12:44, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the members of the Legion of Super-Villains have been redirecting to that page anyway as well as those who are members of the Justice League of Earth. If we go with merge, I suggest that the membership sections for the Fatal Five members be spiced up with notable information about them like they did with the membership section of the U-Foes page. Though the redirects will have to link to those sections and voice actor information will have to be compiled under the "in other media" section of this page. Anyone agreeing with this suggestion? --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:59, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Rtkat3: What do you think of Emerald Empress staying though? Nodody seems to mention that. Also I kind of already did the U-Foes suggestion. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 00:02, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the case, I have your back on the U-Foes thing. We can spare Emerald Empress if we can make it so that the page would be spared for future merging by improving the page. --Rtkat3 (talk) 00:10, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
