Forum:CT Archive/Han Solo's Aliases

Concerning Han Solo and his many aliases, he currently has atleast three redirecting to his article, and a whole bunch of others that have there own articles and category. Question is, how do we clean this up? Should all of his aliases hae seperate articles, should they all redirect to his page and/or have a mention on his page? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Voting Options: 1-All aliases should have their own article 2-Delete any articles and categories, and redirect to main name 3-Other ideas

Option 1

 * 1) I think every alias should have their own article, since there is unique information for the alias. Why was the character or starship using that alias? Where and when? Who were they hiding from? etc etc. <- Omicron (Leave a message at the BEEP! ) 17:45, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Option 2

 * 1) One subject, one article. The aliases aren't a subject in and of themselves, but rather just another name for the main subject. Any "unique information" about the alias belongs in, and should be covered by, the main subject's article anyway, so it's technically not "unique" to the alias.

 * 2) Per Jonathan. Consolidation is best.  OLIOSTER  (talk) 18:17, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Seems obvious to me. MasterFred Commerce Guild.svg(Whatever) 18:42, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Aliases should never, ever have their own article. 100% per MJ. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 18:44, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) I agree with Master Jonathan. They should redirect, and be covered in the main subjects article. Korsa3 19:16, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * 8) Per MJ. Also, does this apply to Han Solo only or all alliases of all characters (I'm assuming the latter, using Solo as an example). NAYAYEN &mdash;it appears to be a frammistat 20:18, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * 9) *all aliases. Such as this.<- Omicron (Leave a message at the BEEP! ) 20:21, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
