List of aliases (talk - history - links - logs)

Another unnecessary list. We have Category:Aliases, nicknames, and pseudonyms for this, anyway.

  2. I think we should treat aliases as redirects from alternate names, and only have separate articles for aliases used by more than one person and for characters only known by an alias. —Silly Dan (talk) 01:27, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep

  1. Far more convenient to find them for a particular character, not all aliases have articles, and according to some, aliases shouldn't even have separate articles in the first place. - Lord Hydronium 00:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  2. If we're to delete it, we need to execute a rigorous organization scheme, at which point I can support deletion. Graestan(Talk) 00:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  4. We're pretty inconsistent regarding which aliases should have articles and which shouldn't. Until we figure it out, my feeling is that the list should stay. StarNeptuneTalk to me! 14:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  5. Yep. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 14:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  6. Agreed with LH. It's long, but it's a pretty organized place considering, and it's generally an agreed-upon safe place for information that tends to get purged from its own article or not fit in its characters article. Leave it alone in a convenient place rather than purging the one and only place it can be sure to stay. Wildyoda 15:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • The category I originally posted is incorrect, and has since been fixed. It is much bigger than the old one, which seems to have been made in error.--Goodwood Redstarbird (Alliance Intelligence) 01:02, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
