The result was Merge to with The Outsiders (novel), but as it is not clear, what really should be merged, I'll just do the redirects. Interested editors may merge further content where they see fit. Tikiwont (talk) 10:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ponyboy Curtis[edit]

This article is mostly a repetition of inuniverse plot details, and this character (and others) are covered with an almost equal amount of depth in the main The Outsiders (novel). Although there has been a film (The Outsiders (film)) and tv adaptation (The Outsiders (TV series)), these do not seem to make these characters notable outside of the context of those articles.

Also listing the following other characters for the same reasons:

Delete all These characters are notable but they all have an adequate description in the The Outsiders (novel). Tavix (talk) 00:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all or merge to The Outsiders (novel). Much as I loved S.E. Hinton's slim paperback when I was a kid, I agree that none of the characters rate their own article... not even Ponyboy. Merge is also a possibility, although I would imagine that the characters are described in the book's page. Mandsford (talk) 00:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge All with The Outsiders (novel). There is some potentially significant information here that should be merged to the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Perfect Proposal (talk • contribs) 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Merge all per Perfect Proposal. JuJube (talk) 04:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all as small enough. per Perfect Proposal. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge' per above —Preceding unsigned comment added by Catchpole (talk • contribs) 18:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. Collection of non-notable characters. Doctorfluffy (talk) 20:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge All with The Outsiders (novel) the characters are dsscribed on the books page, but care should be exercised that any significant information in the character articles is carried over and not simply deleted.F-451 (talk) 01:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A lot of people have suggested merge as an alternative, but I still question what and why. There are a lot of plot details, yes, but these are minor considering the rest of the book; anything that isn't minor is already in the book article. --Nick Penguin_(contribs) 01:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Once the plot info is removed, there is nothing to merge. Doctorfluffy (talk) 05:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
