Sonic Boom (2014 video games)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an unnecessary page, as the full disambiguation is available at Sonic boom (disambiguation). -- Pingumeister(talk) 19:50, 10 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: If this page were deleted, what would be done with the material pertaining to its history, e.g. talk page discussions and the template about its appearance at DYK? Tezero (talk) 19:58, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: Apart from lock requests, the only discussion on the talk page is about splitting the old incarnation of this article into the two articles we see now. That discussion is completed, as is the split. As for the DYK information, the record is available here. -- Pingumeister(talk) 20:40, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(series). The page's content was merged into other articles, thus the page must not be deleted so as to preserve its attribution history. (I recommend withdrawing the AfD for this reason alone.) The best course of action would actually be histmerging this page with Rise of Lyric (splitting to one article as opposed to two). I imagine there will be a page on this franchise in toto eventually, but until then, redirect to the entry within the main series article. This has more utility than redirecting an unlikely disambiguator to a disambiguation page. czar ♔   04:36, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Support redirect but Sonic the Hedgehog (series) is under Animation, which could be inappropriate because we are talking the games here, and hence not pinpointing enough. Sonic Boom (TV series) might be better.  野狼院 ひさし  Hisashi Yarouin 06:16, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree with Hisashiyarouin's suggestion. I'm not comfortable with privileging RoL over SC, and this feels more appropriate. Tezero (talk) 06:59, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * TV series article is fine, though there will be a more definitive "franchise" section or article somewhere eventually, which will make the best target. As for privileging one of the two games over the other, the idea is preserving the edit history, which mostly pertains to the non-handheld version. That can be resolved post-AfD, though czar ♔   15:40, 11 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Sonic Boom (TV series) as per above. Closing this early might also be a good idea as I don't believe this could be a contentious issue. Satellizer   (´ ･ ω ･ `)  08:37, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. This is an WP:INCOMPDAB. Boleyn (talk) 15:23, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect - its a plausible search term, but yes, its redundant to the overall Sonic Boom DAB page. Would probably be better as a section there. Deletion isn't the correct path though. Sergecross73   msg me  17:55, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
