Tilikum

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

Keep While it lacks sources, there are multiple claims of notability in the article. Edward321 (talk) 14:40, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See the new merged article Captive orcas. Maybe better as a section in this article? Aymatth2 (talk) 16:07, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

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.[1] 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) 13:53, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
