[edit] Merge

- Other articles follow the procedure of listing known members of a race on the race page. See Jaffa, Goa'uld, Tok'ra.
- That's where the information is relevant, in context, accessible, and useful.
- Having a seperate page for a list merely generates an out-of-place and uninformative load of text that no one's ever likely to read or find in context.
- These lists aren't big enough issues in Stargate to warrant seperate articles for themselves.
- In each case, e.g. the Athosians, the Athosians are inextricably linked to the Athos article. Athosians are from Athos, Athos is the home of Athosians. The connection is absolute and exclusive, they are bound.
- In talking about one, you're inevitably talking about another. Why split it?
- Merging these pages would cut down on the number of pages in general (making things generally easier and more informative), and would bring more useful information together, also giving some depth to articles like Athos. Too many seperate lists can be pointless.
