Merge and Delete, it is often the case that a non-notable persona would inspire a notable story, in such a case I would create a list something like Ukrainian Mafiosi and keep it in there in a condensed version. I have heavy doubt it will ever grow beyond its current size. --Kuban Cossack 12:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Usually items aren't deleted once merged unless the resulting redirect causes some sort of problem. I can't imagine how keeping this a redirect after merge would be harmful in any way, so if it were to be merged, it would probably not be deleted. — scetoaux (T|C) 03:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
