This article has no assertion of notability, and is just plot repetition of plot points from the various Chronicles of Narnia articles, and as the story is already covered there, this is entirely duplicative. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:28, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. This one was my fault. At the time I wrote it, there were a number of articles on characters from Narnia, whose infobox read human, linking to the main article on humanity. This seemed silly to me - in the context of an article about Narnia, it is more relevant to describe how humanity is represented in the books than going straight for the myriad complexities of wikipedia's biggest subject, humanity at large. So I threw this together, and left a mention on the Narnia project page so that editors could link to it or not as they saw fit.

I'm not a very prolific wikipedia editor. I was aiming to add useful contextual information to the subject, without adding any speculation or original research. That is, to answer a question ('how are people represented in the Narnia books') in a simple way that would otherwise require reading all seven novels. If you've got any tips on how this kind of thing can be done better, I'd appreciate them.

I'm not sure how this deleting/merging business works, but having looked around it looks like this would go better in the article Narnia (world) than Chronicles of Narnia itself.

 * It's all right, many of us when we first started at wikipedia didn't understand encyclopedic coverage of fictional topics....by the way, if you know of any references for it it doesn't have to be deleted, but otherwise we should probably redirect to Narnia world.
