Half-Blood Prince (character)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This page duplicates the plot of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and the fictional biography of the character Severus Snape, to whom it refers. In previous discussions on the talk page, Potter fans defended the article on the grounds that some readers would prefer not to have the knowledge of Snape's identity "spoiled." But Wikipedia is not censored. Both the Snape article and the book article disclose this information anyway—as does this article. Also, there are not very many links to this article in the main namespace, so this is not a very likely entry point for the typical reader. Marc Shepherd 22:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - duplicate. &larr;BenB4 22:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above, duplicate repeated redundancy. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 22:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince article and/or maybe merge with the minor character list article.--JForget 22:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * speedy redirect totally redundant. The spoiler argument is bogus as a reason for two article. That's a new id concept, spoiler-branch. Ingenious way of dealing with the problem, but worse than either alternative. No. DGG (talk) 22:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect - as suggested above. Does this name also need to be protected as the redirect in some way?  As far as the comment that a redirect might be a spoiler, the novel has been published for at least two years, and the movie is well into pre-production. --Rocksanddirt 22:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
