Octopussy (character)[edit]

A memorable Bond girl, but there's not much of anything in this article that's not already mentioned in the Octopussy article. Anything on her reception can easily be moved over to that article. Also, unlike other Bond girls with their own articles, Octopussy has made no other appearances outside one single film (has not appeared in any other Bond films and hasn't appeared in any video games or novels). So with little notability and only very few references, this page seems like little more than a Bond fan page. Survivorfan1995 (talk) 06:23, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Selective Merge to Octopussy. Northamerica1000^(talk) 09:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Selective merge and redirect unless people can find more sources analysing the character. Most of this is plot, and if you take that out it could easily be merged. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:05, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm in two minds about this. Certainly, as it stands, there is nothing beyond a fansite look to the page, but there are other sources that examine some aspects of the character and it's depiction. If it was both a book and film character I'd probably be unhappy to see it go, but as a film character only (and a rather colourless one at that), I'd not be unhappy to see it go either. - SchroCat (talk) 12:35, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the pertinent content into the film article. It's not much more than an WP:INUNIVERSE character bio as it stands, and if more real-world commentary were to become available then the article can always be recreated. Betty Logan (talk) 03:36, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge -- I really cannot believe that we need more than one article about the film. Convention is tha twe merge fictional characters (eg in TV series) back to the main article or to a list of characters in it. The film article indicates that the film is an original screenplay based on various Ian Fleming short stories. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
