[edit] Liza Powell

Somebody tried to nom this here, but appearantly didn't know how. The wife of that tall Irish fella on the tv, nn except for marriage. "This article is like a harlequin novel" according to a post on the talk page. Eivind 04:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Conan O'Brien. Well referenced article but doesn't establish notability outside her marriage to O'Brien. Capitalistroadster 04:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Might as well Keep The article is written by someone not good enough to write for People; it's pretty bad. That being said, the spouse of a celebrity tends to become notable by proxy even if they're pretty much nobody otherwise. For examples, see Melania Trump or, God help us, Kevin Federline.

• Redirect Liza Powell to Liza Powel. wait a minutte, I was bold and did it. Eivind 04:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for being bold, but read the AfD notices first. "You must not rename the article unless you make sure the page still links to the discussion page. This is most easily done by creating a redirect from "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New page name" to "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Old page name". It's usually best to do so immediately before moving the article page, since this ensures no links are broken, even if somebody visits a page in the middle of the changes.

You should not turn the article into a redirect. A functioning redirect will overwrite the AFD notice. It may also be interpreted as an attempt to "hide" the old content from scrutiny by the community.". In the spirit of the AfD process, I have asked a admin to fix the redirect, sorry! cc to talk page. Mike _{(T C)} 05:50, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

First of all, it doesn't need an admin for it to be undone (just click here). Secondly, a redirect is not the same as a merge and there's no problem with being bold and doing a redirect if consensus is leaning that way. Ordinarily removing the AFD tag is vandalism and it should at least be moved to the talk page. In this case, the nominator did the redirect, is he withdrawing the nomination? --kingboyk 06:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I apologise for the problems, but it was ment as a withdrawal of the nomination, since Liza Powell isn't the page we should be considering since the article's subject's name is Liza Powel, and there is a Liza Powel article The content of the articles are almost identical, i didn't think it would be a problem. I was unaware of the fork when I did the nomination. Again I apologise, but I'm now uncertain which article we're discusing. Eivind 22:05, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Conan O'Brien as Capitalistroadster kotepho 04:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Capitalistroadster. --Terence Ong 15:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per Capitalistroadster. Sliggy 18:47, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Smerge (just found that on WP:GD, neat word). Not just merge, but shorten, shorten, shorten greatly, from its current Harlequin Novel status. If no one will shorten, delete. She carried a matching purse and red roses. O’Brien wore a dark tuxedo, white shirt, and cream tie. According to Eonline, the minister described the bride to the local news (KING-TV), "She’s a beautiful, beautiful, wonderful person in all ways." Aaaargh! GRuban 19:48, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
