Merger proposal[edit]

Recommend merger as individual articles gives undue weight. Recommend multi-level merger with Helaman, son of Helaman, Corianton, Shiblon, Timothy, son of Nephi, Amos, son of Nephi, Ammaron, and Amos, son of Amos. Deaddebate (talk) 21:56, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure entirely what is being proposed here. Also, it would be useful to know what article is proposed to be the one which is being merged to. Also, I think it might be useful to look at the wikisource: A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon available at wikisource, which might provide some data as to what kind of content might be appropriate in these articles.

All the subjects of these articles are very minor characters within the Book of Mormon, all within the same lineage. Per WP:PSA: "When you write a stub, bear in mind that it should contain enough information for other editors to expand upon it." My concern is these articles will never progress beyond stub class as there is nearly no other information or commentary, nor is there ever expected to be any. Recommend the articles be unified in a new, single article (perhaps Lineage of Alma the Younger?) to amass available content while maintaining Wikipedia tone and NPOV requirements.

A not unreasonable point, but, in general, if one is going to use the word "merge" about articles here, it is still a good idea to indicate at the very least how that merger is to be accomplished, at least whether they are being considered to all be merged into one other extant article, or whether some other page is to be created to merge them all to.

Also, I suppose, it might not be unreasonable to see if there are any particular paintings or other art works which relate to the individuals. I know that there are quite a few such, and, in such cases, it might be most effective to allow there to exist one article on the person, which also includes the truly encyclopedic content relating to the artwork relating to that person.

Support the proposed merge, and in particular the subsequent proposal to merge all to Lineage of Alma the Younger, following the structure of Lineage of Ether. Perhaps, however, each could have their own section, which in turn could be expanded to included the relevant art works discussed above, should such be found.
