Ninja in western fiction
Unreferenced original research, or encyclopedic information? Which is it? --GRider\talk 18:26, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup and merge to Ninja (see Ninja in Fiction) section, then redirect. RidG (talk)  18:31, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep interesting and encyclopedic. I suppose one might argue that it could stand some cleanup, but then I haven't met any articles yet that couldn't. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  18:31, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * This could be merged into ninja, or it could remain where it is. Meelar (talk) 18:33, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It could be merged, but I see no overriding reason to. Is "ninja-cruft" really a phenomenon? Demi 20:11, 2005 Mar 8 (UTC)
 * Merge with ninja. No redirect necessary. DaveTheRed 20:24, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge I guess, otherwise it will fork. No re-direct, please. Wyss 01:24, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and delete- do not redirect. ComCat 02:08, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, POV original essay, ninjacruft. Megan1967 02:40, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as above. Radiant! 09:01, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * If there is anything worth merging (and most seem to agree that there is), redirects are cheap. "Merge and delete" makes it much harder to comply with the attribution requirements of GFDL.  No compelling reason has yet been presented for why we should do all the extra work necessary to avoid redirecting.  Rossami (talk) 00:26, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to the "Ninja in fiction" section of ninja. -Sean Curtin 02:58, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * merge' with ninja. Yuckfoo 00:14, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep This needs clean-up but it's important to allow this sort of page to sort out real history and recent westernization
