The result was redirect to Logan's Run (1976 film). History not retained as nothing sourced to merge. Cirt (talk) 18:12, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Box (character)

This character does not establish notability independent of its film. Without non-trivial coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 16:15, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or weak merge the "How Box came to be" section into Logan's Run (1976 film) (it's unfortunately unsourced, hence the "weak"). No point of an article for a one-time character. – sgeureka ^t•c 21:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or at least redirect. Perhaps the section in the film article on him could be expanded by a line or two--the same part as selected by sgeureka. ("weak merge" is a concept unknown to either afd or WP:merge, unless, analogous to week keep, it means "merge, but I'm not going to argue strongly for it" I think it's intended to mean merge, while first deleting the original content. I don't think that's an option under GFDL. Or does it mean, merge just a little of the content? That's reasonable enough, except the article talk page is the place to decide (I know, I just talked here about what part to merge myself, but sometimes it's necessary in order to explain why a merge is preferred. But no afd decision can be binding on content of an article.) DGG (talk) 22:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as Box was actually one of the best things in that film, next to Peter Ustinov's role. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
