Unna (whale)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

lacks notability, reliable 3rd party sources. Appears to include original research. Rtphokie (talk) 13:22, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps all these articles could be grouped together under one AfD entry? - Ddawkins73 (talk) 14:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I would prefer to keep the AfD discussions separate, despite the fact the articles have so much in common. I have seen the confusion that can result from grouping after starting an AfD process. Some may be worth retaining, others not, but Mergism may be the best approach. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:47, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * As an experiment, I just created an article on Captive orcas, merging the first 8 of these whale articles. If someone wants to AfD it, I will not defend it too strongly. It may have the makings of a list-type article if the entries were trimmed down (e.g. removing genealogy, original research). Maybe better than many very small individual articles?

 * Merge Somewhere Else and Redirect. I am noting the bold merge on Captive orcas. This made the article 61 KB long in violation of the WP:SIZE Guideline however based on my test edits of the page at my sandbox. The test edits after removing the whale list from the article brought the size down to just over 19 KB. The article I would suggest the list be moved to is List of Captive orcas however the split article would be at least 41 KB long (about 8 KB above the Guideline So we may need to split into more articles).

 * See comment on Talk:Captive orcas. Suggest we continue merge, then discuss best way to split. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
