Talk:Weapons in the Re-imagined Series/Archive 1

Future of KEW article

With this new page, I wonder what should happen with the KEW article. I copied the "autocannon" section there and also wanted to copy the "point defense" section. But then the article would be useless and could be deleted (KEW could be redirect here).

Or should we only summarize those two sections and include a "See main article link" to there? --Serenity 12:36, 10 January 2007 (CST)

My first reaction is to make KEW redirect here. Is there any information there that isn't shown here or more specific articles? "KEW" is just too broad. --Spencerian 13:00, 10 January 2007 (CST)

As said, if I copy the "point defense" part as well, there is nothing there anymore. It also has a bit about the main guns, but with Battery that's redundant. --Serenity 13:05, 10 January 2007 (CST)

All the more reason to cease KEW. I feel centralization of all ship weapons but sidearms would be preferable. Your call. --Spencerian 13:44, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Alright, I'll do that. What should I do with the talk page? Move it here? I can't use the normal move function since this page already exists, but I could copy-paste it. --Serenity 14:06, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Normally we just let it go in cases like this unless there are very significant discussions that are critical to the article's existence. In this case, a summary that tells the result of the merge and why it occurred (which in turn is a summary of the consensus from the old talk pages) should be fine. No need to horde that stuff. --Spencerian 14:29, 10 January 2007 (CST)
