Split part of the page[edit]

Hello, everybody. As the prequel book series has a separate page, I believe there should be one also for the main book series, and I made a draft on Draft:Dune (book series). What you guys think? Dabaduo (talk) 21:29, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the work involved in this draft, but I personally agree with the reviewer 2pou that a split-out article is not necessary, and redundant. Dune (franchise) itself is already the main page about the original series of six novels. Dune prequel series is split out as a derivative series of 15 novels that would be cumbersome within this main article. Same for Dune short stories. Thanks.— TAnthony^Talk 15:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
