 * Merge with appropriate reformating of linkable entries to The One (disambiguation page). This is a non-defining classification (compared to, say, something like fictional presidents), but it is reasonable that a person may search on a term "the one" expecting to find a character named that. That would be best served on the Disambiguation page which presently lacks a section for that. --M asem (t) 18:54, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * And just reading through these, I see maybe only 3 or 4 that really are appropriate (like Neo from the Matrix) to include on The One. There are separate disambiguation pages for The Chosen One (disambiguation) and The Great One (disambiguation) for other versions.--M asem (t) 18:56, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge a select few per MASEM. There should only be the one listing. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:30, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment this article was created to untangle a mess of entries from The One (disambiguation). My commit summary while creating this article is "This page likely needs to be renamed (or even deleted)". My only preference is to not re-clutter The One as it was before. + m t  23:23, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Most of those entries you split off to here are still weak. For example, there's a separate page for "The Chosen One" disambiguation so those shouldn't have been listed. Entries like the Babylon 5 *really* stretch it, the type of thing that only big fans would likely known. Basically, most of those ones you removed should not be added back, and thus keep the disambiguation clean. --M asem (t) 17:22, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and return any blue-linked entries to The One, this should have been deleted and not split off into a listcruft article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:35, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge selectively per M asem, good call. "The Chosen One" is not the same phrase as "The One," confusing to combine. Hyperbolick (talk) 12:55, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge per Masem. Also, the list of fictional characters in The Chosen One (disambiguation) should probably be trimmed.  I see at least 4 entries that are never (to my knowledge) refered to as "the chosen one" in their properties.  I don't actually know that they aren't so I haven't removed them.
