Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dickson McCunn


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   merge/redirect somewhere. Guess why this is one of the last AFDs open from this day? Because there is a consensus to merge and redirect the article but nobody has actually mentioned where to merge or redirect it to. Kind of an important detail, guys. I'm going to close this and note the result on the article's talk page, an appropriate redirect target will need to be discussed there. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge the character and the three novels into one article covering the books and character. This character is a title character, not simply a major character, in three separate historical books, two of which have decent articles which show importance and probable notability.  Having said that, this article doesn't really add any information, so it should really be just a redirect to an article on the trilogy. Jclemens (talk) 23:46, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * As Jclemens points out, Dickson McCunn is the leading character in three of Buchan's novels, and at least as notable as any of Buchan's characters except Richard Hannay and perhaps Edward Leithen. Unfortunately, while I am convinced that the article could be improved far enough to demonstrate notability, I don't have suitable reliable sources to hand at the moment. So, unless I find them before this AfD closes, Merge and redirect per Jclemens - if not present as an article on Wikipedia, Dickson McCunn certainly needs to be present as a search term.

 * Merge/redirect as per Jclemens. No third party sources to WP:verify notability. But certainly a logical search term in a notable series. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:24, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
