Talk:Hammer Film Productions Ltd.

Oops, Houston we have a problem. We now have two articles on Hammer, the other is called Hammer horror. One is supposedly a corporate history, but the trouble is they both largely replicate each other. I suppose I should try and merge them but I can't be bothered at the moment, especially as I'm not sure if the best title would be Hammer Films, Hammer Horror or what. Any ideas...?

 * By golly, you're right. I make it three articles! If I find the time this week, I'll try to merge them. I'd say that all the others should redirect to Hammer Films. Thoughts? Rayray 15:41, 16 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Looking at the history it seems that 12.73.195.82 went to some lengths to UNmerge them... and to a certain extent (s)he is right, there's defiantly scope for a Hammer Film Productions article and a Hammer Horror one. However some efforts should definately  be made to remove duplicated content. --Artw 06:31, 17 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, we've gone ahead with the merge, which I think has worked out well. Hammer Film Productions is now the parent article, with most of the others merged and redirected. I've built a reference to Hammer horror into the introduction to the article, but retained a fairly thorough overview of the company as a whole. I can't really see what a separate Hammer horor article would bring to the table, although I'm willing to be convinced.Rayray 14:38, 22 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I think you could safely redirect this article to Hammer Film Productions without losing any information, and I'd fully support it... but I'd give it a few more days before actually going ahead with it. BTW: I think you've done a fine job. The previous state of affairs was a mess. The situation now is that we have an excellent article that can be built upon further without unneccessary duplication and confusion... and all the disparate "Hammer" links (Hammer Studios, Hammer horror etc etc) are all pointing at the right place to make sure anyone following links from other articles gets all the information they need. - Motor (talk) 15:05:46, 2005-08-22 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'm going to leave it a few more days then do as you suggest. Phew. This has been hard work. Rayray 15:09, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

OK. I'm redirecting. Rayray 10:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
