 * Merge into sifu as this is an alternative transliteration. Warden (talk) 14:33, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, methinks merging into something kung fu panda related would be better, as the sifu page is about the word while the shifu page is about the kung fu panda character - Both have nothing in common. Bonkers The Clown  (Nonsensical Babble) 02:20, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Nonsense. The term sifu/shifu is quite generic, being the oriental equivalent of master.  It is quite common to have a character with this respectful title in martial arts movies and Kung Fu Panda is just one of many examples.  It would be WP:RECENTISM for a particular movie to dominate the usage. Warden (talk) 11:24, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Haha, I guess that would be nonsense... Colonel, actually the message I mean to convey is that the content of this article pertains to the Kung Fu Panda character... So why merge Kung Fu Panda content into unrelevant content? To avoid confusion, I guess we should change the name of this article to "Shifu (Kung Fu Panda)" for now.... And redirect Shifu to Sifu. And then merge Shifu (Kung Fu Panda) into Bonkers The Clown  (Nonsensical Babble) 13:06, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * But you don't want the content because it's fancruft, right? I'm not much bothered about it myself.  What I want is that the title remain a blue link which goes to the alternative spelling.  At that destination, we might mention the character in the movie as a notable example of the general type.  Warden (talk) 13:23, 23 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect per Warden Bonkers. (His is a better plan) --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 21:48, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge but to Kung Fu Panda, which is where this character info belongs. They hatnote a bit, and everything should be happy. Jclemens (talk) 08:46, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Now I think merging to List of Kung Fu Panda characters is the best choice. Bonkers The Clown  (Nonsensical Babble) 08:54, 23 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect to List of Kung Fu Panda characters, appears the most reasonable option. Cavarrone (talk) 00:22, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
