All these articles deal with the anime series, Outlaw Star. The article Outlaw Star is stubish and all the information from these articles should be merged and redirected to Outlaw Star to properly make Outlaw Star a full article. -- AllyUnion (talk) 05:55, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Side notes:
- Sentinel III was nominated for VFD, but nothing was done to the article. The request was also merge and redirect to Outlaw Star. See: Talk:Sentinel III.
- Category:Outlaw Star is being nominated on CFD.
Votes:

- Keep if we can have 50 sub articles for Homestar Runner characters (which was virtually laughed off VfD when I nominated it)... why not these. ALKIVAR™File:Radioactive.svg 06:01, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- It is not likely these articles will expand any further and remain stubs. I personally think that Outlaw Star needs to be expanded to the point where there is evidence that the characters must warrant their own page since the main article is stubbish. It's a 26 episode series that hasn't been in production for a long time. Usually, articles are expanded to the point where the information needs to be moved because there is too much information on a single page. The Outlaw Star article doesn't have enough information to warrant this. Case and point, see Rurouni Kenshin. The Rurouni Kenshin article is also an anime series, but it has been expanded to the point where information about the characters have been moved to two different pages because of the length issue. (See History difference when characters moved to different pages). Another case and point: Star Wars. Star Wars has character pages yes, but it does not have a page for every minor character. Rather, it has a list of minor characters in Star Wars. -- AllyUnion (talk) 06:20, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- {{sofixit}}, and don't use VfDs to confirm your merge ideas. Use the talk pages if you think people will complain about the merge, to give them a chance to either unstub the articles or shut up about things they're not willing to fix themselves. None of these things warrant their own article, at least not yet. If they ever do, branch them out again. What is this, paper? Be bold. :-) JRM 09:33, 2005 Jan 11 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect. The main article is too stubby to warrant articles on minor topics right now. They can always break out if size starts to be an issue. Mgm|(talk) 09:36, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Outlaw Star. —Triskaideka 16:30, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Outlaw Star. Viable material, no question, just might be best used to shore up the parent article.

- I'll take on the task of merging these articles, if no one else wants it. Man, that was a good show.... hfool/Roast me 01:04, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
