Battle of Dumai's Wells
I have just placed a "Considered for Deletion" tag on this article, for several reasons. 1) To the average Wikipedia reader, this article is unneccessary; those who know what Dumai's Wells is, probably also know what happened, and those who don't know probably don't care. 2) The information contained could be easily folded into the article on Lord of Chaos (which needs expanding anyway). 3) This is not a particularly important feature of the series.

 * Redirect and Merge into Lord of Chaos. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 09:52, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. I'm not sure if we should keep it as a redirect. Jeltz talk  13:53, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * If things are merged, the redirect should generally be kept to preserve edit history. Kappa 03:17, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. And shorten substantially.  It is after all, one chapter in one book in a series.  And no redirect. -- Mwanner 14:33, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think that it was just in one chapter but it was some time ago sicne I last read the book, but even if it was three chapters (which isn't much either) it still needs to be shortened substantially. Jeltz talk  16:12, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Redirs are cheap and keep the edit history. Meelar (talk) 16:21, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Keeping the redirect does no harm; there aren't any other Battles of Dumai's Wells with which this might be confused, and it discourages recreation of the article. Submitter is urged to be bold and just do the merge himself next time. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 17:22, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge or keep fictional things. Kappa 03:17, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
