Merge from Quarks 1-4 edit

While nothing in any article suggests notability, I'll go on the limb and say that having done some rescue on related topics (other sf anthologies), the odds are some sources could be found. Still, we should probably merge the individual articles (which right now are just tables of contents/infoboxes, i.e. catalog-like entries) into one. Ping User:ReaderofthePack for her opinion.

Agree; definitely should be merged. Anthology series in general should be a single article, the same way a magazine does not have an article for each issue. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:12, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Agree as well. Generally speaking, there's not as much use for individual articles at this point in time. If research shows exceptional notability for one or all volumes, then we can always restore. In the meantime it's better to show notability for the anthology as a whole.

  • I'm happy to combine the articles. Should the story lists come along as well? Joyous! Noise! 20:12, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
    I'd say stories should only be mentioned if there's a reliable source discussing them. I have at least one source that talks about the anthology -- Tymn & Ashley's 1985 Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines; I can share that if you don't have access.

Thanks! I don't have access to that in my world. Joyous! Noise! 16:13, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
OK -- send me a Wikipedia email and I'll reply with a scan of the source. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:46, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also this has a review of Quark/1, as does this. This has a review of Quark/3. These are fanzines and are not the highest-quality sources, but given that Ashley (in the source I'll send you) talks about fan press reception, I think they could be used.

There was very little to merge, as most of the content is duplicated .     Y Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 13:19, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
