Nora Huntington
A whole page for a character from a show that doesn't have its own page. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closed: Result: Redirect; characters from shows don't normally merit an article separate from the show and the unchallenged consensus here is that this is no exception. However most want a redirect, and as they say on WP, redirects are cheap. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 14:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Waffle. On the one hand, someone has done a lot of work to provide a well-formatted page full of sourced quotes from a notable character in a notable TV show (both Nora and Desperate Housewives have their own WP pages), and it would be a trivial matter to retitle the page "Desperate Housewives" and add a "Nora" section to the front, which I think would resolve the objections of LrdChaos. On the other hand, the quotes don't seem very notable in and of themselves. But then again, I'm not a fan, and perhaps if I were I would recognize the scintillating brilliance of each line (or at least find some resonance in the page). I guess, on balance, I'd vote rename &amp; redirect, but I'd be very interested in hearing from DH fans on the page's intrinsic worth. --Ubiquity 14:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Move quotes to a page for the TV show (and then make this a redirect), but then it would require cleanup to conform to the TV show template - e.g. there should not just be a 'Nora' section title for the page about the show, but instead the format should be quotes ordered by episode, not by character. ~ UDScott 17:24, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect. I just assumed there wasn't a page yet. But since Jeff has helpfully identified that there is, I now change my vote, per Jeffq. ~ UDScott 15:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No good quotes.--Cato 22:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Move per UDScott. Poetlister 22:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Move per UDScott, should not be too problematic. I'm amazed we don't have a page on the show already, popular as it was. BD2412 T 08:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Desperate Housewives. After this article was nominated for deletion, the intrepid anon who took the trouble to create and format this article basically copied the material into the existing TV-show article (which has actually been around for nearly 3 years; there may have been some confusion because the anon included no WQ link, which we usually interpret as the absence of an WQ article). Therefore, there is nothing left to do on this article except for either deleting or redirecting it. The merge wasn't a proper folding of material into the proper format, so someone still needs to properly merge the Nora Huntington material into the proper episode sections and dialog-format it. But we don't even need to do an edit-history paste to the talk page because the only contributor (other than LrdChaos for the VfD nomination) was the anon him/herself, who did the informal merge. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Desperate Housewives, per Jeffq. I swear that I looked for that page before I nominated this but didn't find it (I probably spelled "desperate" wrong). —LrdChaos (talk) 15:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
