The Citadel (A Song of Ice and Fire)

Minor aspect of a minor topic that seems to have been made into an extremely crude article. I don't really know what to make of this, so here's a google search [1] to try and help sort things out, but I'm going to nominate it for deletion. Barfooz (talk) 07:06, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Merge it somewhere or keep, verifiable fictional thing from notable source. Kappa 09:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Correction: minor aspect of a very popular series of novels, A Song of Ice and Fire. Merge this into List of places in A Song of Ice and Fire, and do the same with all other articles Wikilinked from there, unless they are too large to merge. I'll tackle this project myself if that's the consensus. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 13:18, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, obviously, but also merge in this case I think. I am not sure about Android's suggestion; itm ight work in this instance but I dont see it happening for places with more information about them in the books. Hornplease 17:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per WP:FICT. --Carnildo 22:12, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• On second thought, that's a bad target for a merge, since most of the other links are contentless. The bluelinks in List of places in A Song of Ice and Fire are:
  • Bear Island – a disambig page that doesn't even mention ASoIaF
  • Casterly Rock → House Lannister
  • The Eyrie → House Arryn
  • King's Landing → Westeros
  • Riverrun → House Tully
  • Sunspear → House Martell
  • The Wall (A Song of Ice and Fire) → Westeros (previously had some content)
  • Westeros is a long article about one of two main continents in the series (the other being unnamed and not used much as yet)
  • Winterfell → Westeros
  • Valyria → Westeros, which is a bad redirect, since Valyria is on the unnamed eastern continent
• These should all be Merged into Westeros, which could then use a rename to List of places in A Song of Ice and Fire. Places that have plenty to write about them can, of course, be spun off into their own articles. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 01:50, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per WP:FICT. -- Lochaber 13:14, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
