Barney's Magical Musical Adventure
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a bundled nomination. The articles are either home videos or stage shows whith no claim to notability. On top of that the articles have little or no sources and what sources they do have tend to be fan sites. Any useful information should be merged into List of Barney & Friends episodes and videos and the pages turned into redirects. Also included are, CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 11:26, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Question — Why is this at AfD and not as part of a huge merge/redirect proposal on the List's talk page, since deletion is not being proposed? MuZemike  ( talk ) 16:37, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Because I wna't them deleted and then recreated as redirects to the list. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 17:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't work that way. Deleting the articles, among other things, renders the editing history inaccessible to non-admins. On the other hand, changing the content to a redirect does not erase this information, rendering it easier to access should someone oppose the redirect. Redirect is an option that can be decided upon via the AFD process, but taking an article to AFD means the nominator wants the article and all its content gone. If the intent is to have a redirect done, then consensus should be sought on the applicable pages, starting, of course, with whomever created these articles in the first place. He/she may not have been aware that a list option existed; WP:BOLD could also apply, meaning one could just go ahead and do the redirect/merge, if you're prepared to defend the action should someone take umbrage. 23skidoo (talk) 19:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Are you sure "It doesn't work that way."? Look at Articles for deletion/Barney's Imagination Island and history with 238 deleted edits. There are multiple others but that was the easiest to find. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 21:56, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If you're merging, you have to redirect and not delete the history for GFDL compliance. As such, redirect all to List of Barney & Friends episodes and videos. No need to delete. Stifle (talk) 09:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
