The result was   redirect to Hyperion Cantos. Consensus is that this should not be a separate article, but there's disagreement about whether and what to merge. A redirect allows merging whatever's useful (and sourceable!) later from the history.  Sandstein  20:55, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

The Shrike

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Plot element from a series of novels, not independently notable (WP:GNG) for lack of substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the author of the fictional work described. Not appropriate for a merger, as it consists only of excessive plot summary (WP:WAF). Andy Dingley (talk) 14:48, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge to Hyperion Cantos per WP:ATD, trimming appropriately. The "not suitable merger" comment from this nom, and similar ones by others, ignore the point that deletion removes ALL plot summary, not just the excessive bit, such that a trim in the process of merging is correction through normal editing, triggering WP:ATD.

 * Merge with redirect of "The Shrike" to Hyperion Cantos, as there will be those who will look for the character from a reference thereto, not knowing the author or novels. htom (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
