Merge proposal[edit]

I hereby propose to merge Lt. Fairfax and Lt. Carstairs to one article, titled "Fairfax and Carstairs" (or possibly "Lts. Fairfax and Carstairs", other proposals are welcome).

The reason is that these articles seem to have been created with identical text except for the characters' and actors' names. (At the moment, the text isn't completely identical anymore: all the more reason for merger.) Another reason is that the characters themselves seem to have very little distinguishing features except for their names; none are included in the articles at the moment.

I am open to suggestions. If none are made, I'll proceed with the merger in a week or two. Phaunt 23:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing other 'Allo 'allo articles, it would be consistent to include ranks. Maybe "Lt. Fairfax and Lt. Carstairs" is a good option. Phaunt 07:42, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Phaunt 23:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Last appearance?[edit]

I have edited this as the article stated their last appearance was in 'Rene of the Gypsies' but with a guest appearance in 'A Winkle in Time'. If they made an appearance, guest or otherwise, THAT is their last appearance! Smurfmeister (talk) 13:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Carstairs's Name[edit]

'Bumbly' is probably a nickname: it isn't a British name, but does sound like part of the public school tradition of ridiculous nicknames, which often overtook actual forenames, at least in literature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.155.229 (talk) 18:36, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
