Cane

Is this worthy of an article? I realize that we have articles on numerous generic things that appear in canon, but surely this is pushing it? Harry once threw a stick at either Crabbe or Goyle (can't quite recall which). Should we have an article on sticks? A line should be drawn somewhere. -- 1337star ^{(Drop me a line!)} 01:35, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

I think it should be redirected to "Walking stick", but wanted to ask someone/anyone else before doing so. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 01:56, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

If you think that's unworthy, just notify there's random stuff like Unidentified bluebird and Unidentified Black Death Eater at the Battle of Hogwarts (II). Donut4 || TALK PAGE 14:00, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, this is definitely not worthy of an article. It's not even a real object appearing in the book, and is only mentioned when Harry thinks Wood is a cane. Flabshoe1 (talk) 19:40, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Tom Marvolo Riddle's Horcruxes

Whilst I admit that as it currently stands this page is just a duplicate of another page, and thus will need a rename, conjecture tag and rewrite, I feel that if we can have a page for one single Horcrux mentioned obscurely in one interview, there should perhaps be a page for seven notable, if not crucial, Horcruxes seen throughout the series. A link could go on the Horcrux page to this page and all information pertaining to Voldemort's Horcruxes can be summarised on that page and expanded upon in this one. Hunnie Bunn (talk) 12:57, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

That's what I was thinking more or less. Why does it need a rename? Where is there conjecture on the page? If it was okay on the previous article, what's wrong with it on this one? Why does it need a rewrite? Jdogno7 (talk) 13:09, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

It needs a conjecture tag because "Tom Marvolo Riddle's Horcruxes" isn't a name used directly in the series for the things. Therefore, it's something called a "conjectural title" - the title was made by a user on the wiki so that it'd be easier to find. The rename is because the "Marvolo" in the title is unneccessary. I'm pretty sure the article is all right as is and thus probably won't need a rewrite at all, but some other editors might be tweaking little things along the way as seen fit by them. Hunnie Bunn (talk) 13:18, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

Well since Tom Riddle's Horcruxes linked to the main Horcrux article page, that was the closest name I could use that wasn't used by another article. Is there a way to fix that? Jdogno7 (talk) 23:36, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

If it's decided that the article can stay, I'll fix that. Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:41, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Jdogno7 (talk) 00:44, March 2, 2014 (UTC)

What could be done is keep the page Horcrux with general information about the horcruxes and move the informations about Voldemort's horcruxes that is in the text Horcrux to mix with the text Tom Marvolo Riddle's Horcruxes and make it better to doesn't be deleted. So the wikia would have following pages: 1) Horcrux: a page with general information about the horcruxes; 2) and pages with information about the wizards who created horcruxes which are: 2a) Tom Marvolo Riddle's Horcruxes and... 2b) Herpo the Foul's Horcrux.

What happened to my page? When was it deleted?

Jdogno7 (talk) 06:59, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

I thought pages weren't to be deleted until a consensus was reached unless the pages were fanonical; this page, while currently little more than a duplicate of another page, serves the potential to be a very erstwhile and useful page if the suggestions listed above were taken. However, others seem to disagree, so this is the place to provide reasons why the page should be outright deleted. Hunnie Bunn (talk) 01:08, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

"Erstwhile" means "past, former". If this page gets deleted it will indeed thereby become erstwhile. — RobertATfm (talk) 07:42, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Chicken and ham sandwich

• Chicken and ham sandwiches are not noteworthy as such, but the plate magically refilling itself when empty is noteworthy. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:15, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
• Rename the page to "Self-refilling plate" or similar? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:10, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Ravenclaw House

Please! Delete this page which I have wrongly created when I tried to do a "Redirect page" but it didn't work. Andre G. Dias (talk) 01:54, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Looks like it was fixed by Cubs Fan2007 (as can be seen in the History Log page), so I think we can forget about and remove the Category "Candidates for deletion" of the redirect page Ravenclaw House. Andre G. Dias (talk) 14:10, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

Deletion category going-over

It might be worth to go over the items tagged for deletion - many of them are redirects to talk pages or tagged a few months ago with no discussion. Thanks! MinorStoop 09:08, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

To my mind, "Candidates for deletion" (or whatever it's called on any particular wiki) should be a strictly temporary category; pages should be in it for two weeks at most, after which either the delete tag or the article itself (whichever is warranted) should be deleted. That's my take anyway. — RobertATfm (talk) 10:42, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

Game Boy Color (console)

A page for the Game Boy Color was created in the past, but deemed to be unnecessary and redirected to Game Boy (which is an in-universe article). Unless circumstances have changed, I think this decision should be upheld here as well. (I would like to note, however, that I fully support the idea of splitting the video game pages up by console, as what appears to be currently happening. Many of the different adaptations of the series are completely different games from console to console. If nothing else, this will allow us to get rid of the cumbersome noting of which version applies in the "Appearances" section of articles by simply linking directly to the correct version of the game.) -- 1337star ^{(Drop me a line!)} 19:44, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

I think in turn this page in disambuguation page.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thiago752 (talk • contribs) 15:08, May 30, 2015 (UTC).

Order of the Phoenix Society (fansite)
