Page is redundant and its information is displayed elsewhere. The information presented on this page is duplicated in more appropriate places. The new Harry Potter Wikibook handles plot summaries now. Each book page provides concise summaries with links to the extensive summaries on the Wikibook. This is a part of the attempt to only have concise summaries on the Wikipedia pages and leave all extensive synopses to the Wikibook. The previous concensus was that this page is inappropriate.

• Keep, the plot summary belongs on a separate page. Kappa 19:12, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Duplicates effort made at Wikibooks, which is prominently linked to on the Wikipedia Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets article. If the plot synopsis on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is lacking, then merge. Fernando Rizo T/C 19:23, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deleted articles cannot be merged. Kappa 20:50, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was offering an alternative to deletion with sentence. Sorry if you misunderstood it. Fernando Rizo T/C 00:24, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• TransWiki to WikiBooks and delete. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 20:23, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete We already have a plot summary on Wikipedia and one on Wikibooks. No point in merging. If section redirects worked, I would propose. Robert A West 22:07, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Per WP:FICT excessive plot summeries are a bad idea. DES 22:29, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I'm against hiving off things into offshoot projects. Much better to have everything in one place. CalJW 14:02, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Wikibooks is the place for something as detailed as this. A short synopsis is all that's needed for WIkipedia. --Deathphoenix 18:52, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. And while the deleting admin deletes it, please delete Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Full Plot Summary and Harry Potter (plot) for the same reasons; they've both already been copied for safekeeping to Wikibooks.
  • I agree that those pages should be deleted. To the admin however, could the plot page be postponed for the moment? There are MANY links pointing there and those need to be repaired. Once that completes a VFD for the plot page can be submitted. -Matt 15:57, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The plot summary is not its own entity. It does not deserve its own page. A sufficient summary is already at Chamber of Secrets. Superm401 | Talk 07:29, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
