Good joob redirecting this character to the page of minor character and NOT having him included on that page, apart as links to another page (relinked back via this redirect).

Takes wikipedia to come up with that kind of circle logic.

It was hard to word this page in a VERY encyclopedic way, because the entire time I was thinking about Adams' books. It was distracting and I kept laughing every time I remembered something else. If anyone thinks it needs a higher degree of encyclopedization (if that's a word) or convesely more Adams flair, go for it. --Abqwildcat 23:10, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

redirect[edit]

I'm wondering about whether or not this article should have been removed and merged with minor chars from hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. The article was long enough to not be considered a stub, and with a link from the minor characters page, was not an orphan. See my note at Talk:Minor characters from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy about this. --Abqwildcat 22:37, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Here's the sequence of events that led to my decision to merge Agrajag with Minor characters from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
  • I discovered Agrajag on a list of orphaned articles
  • I Added a link to Agrajag on the minor character page with no descriptive text
  • Another user came along, decided that since Agrajag had its own article, it didn't belong on the Minor Characters page, and removed it. The article became an orphan again.
  • I reverted the removal of the link to Agrajag on Minor Characters.
  • Agrajag looked out of place on the minor character page without any descriptive text, so I added some. In the process, I found that I really couldn't write it better than what already existed on the Agrajag page, and since the article was fairly short (no longer than other entries on the minor character page, such as Gag Halfrunt and Slartibartfast), decided to just move the whole article.
  • Once the full content of Agrajab was on the minor characters page, I changed Agrajab into a redirect.
There are two things that are not in dispute: 1.) Agrajab is a minor character, and 2.) Minor HHGTTG characters have a page. The question is, does Agrajab merit a separate article? Kevyn 23:11, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
