Future Merge

If Linderman turns out to be Austin, would we merge them, or keep them separate? Heroe!(talk) 23:42, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

• If they wind up being the same person, then typically they'd be merged and Austin would redirect to Mr. Linderman. (Admin 00:02, 2 April 2007 (EDT))
  • Here's some things a merge like that would entail:
    1. Drop Austin's history into Linderman's page
    2. Tweak the categories a bit (Linderman would be Category:Military, for example)
    3. Merge pertinent notes and infobox stuff
    4. Austin's home and Austin's mother and Austin's father would be changed, I guess to "The Lindermans' home", "Mr. Linderman's mother" and "Mr. Linderman's father" (which kinda sound funny, but what the hey).
    5. Parts of Theories:Evolved Humans#Austin would be deleted, other parts merged (Linderman would also be moved off of Theories:People
    6. Austin would not be considered one of the Graphic Novel Characters, so he'd have to be taken off the portal and template, which is really not a big deal.

That's everything I can think of. By the way, according to Jason Badower, Austin's ID will be obvious in War Buddies, Part 4, but won't be officially revealed until War Buddies, Part 5. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:23, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

• But we'll have to wait until it is confirmed, even if the likeness is obvious. -Lөvөl 01:14, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

• We need some Galleries for Austin and Dallas:). -Lөvөl 12:43, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

• For the Graphic Novel occurrences (once Austin and Dallas's identities are confirmed), should we rename them but credit them as "Austin" and "Dallas" still? I would imagine that we refer to them in the code names for the first few War Buddies until it's revealed who they are.--Bob 08:42, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
