[WikiEN-l] A plea - live and let live

If there are a dozen or 6 dozen separate, tiny articles with a common
theme, then why not:

* Copy the text of each article into one new comprehensive article (like
[[List of Apprentice contestants]]
* Turn the text of each old article into:  #REDIRECT [[List of
Apprentice contestants]]

This is how Maveric asked me to handle the Simpsons, way back when...
