Undo the merge!

i say we undo the merge and fix up the problems with the old stuff   

It isn't going to happen.  Collectonian (talk · contribs) 

Consensus is not immutable, and this seems like as good a proposal as any.  Let's see what the 
community as a whole has to say.  I'm in favor of it because of the abysmal coverage of the current article.  If, when the old articles are sourced, organized and cleaned up, there is still so little material that it can all be summarized on one page, then it could be merged.  If someone who can still edit the article made a note of this suggestion in the anime sections it would probably be good.  I can do it when the lock is lifted if no one else has. 72.160.96.228  

No it isn't ""as good a proposal as any."" Its already been covered within the last week that the consensus to merge is valid and that it HAS consensus. Get over all ready, gravy. You hate it so damn much, go to the DB wikia.  Collectonian (talk · contribs) 

Since this whole mess started I've been contributing over there regularly.  It's nice to be part of a worthwhile project.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem like that's what this part of Wikipedia is anymore. 207.118.67.139  

Recbon, ideally what you suggest would happen, but these days in Wikipedia everyone is lazy. The day people on Wikipedia actually decide to pick Clean Up over Delete or Merge is the day hell freezes over, and trust me, you'll have little luck fighting it. Just do what everybody else does and mindlessly roll with consensus, and you'll have a nice time here.Dude (C) 

A few comments:
72.160.96.228, you have said at least twice that you've worked on the DB articles in the past. However, your contributions show you've only ever edited this talk page - have you previously edited under a username or a different IP address?
Many of you who disagree with the merge are complaining about ""deleted"" material. I would like to stress that unless an entire article gets deleted, all information is still present in its history. The DVD info that people are complaining was properly sourced but got deleted anyways? Guess what, it's still there (at least, I assume that's the information you're complaining about, it's the only DVD tables I could find in any page history).
The merge can be undone if a given section gains a sufficient amount of properly sourced, nontrivial information. Because of the close relationship of the Dragon Ball manga and the DB and DBZ anime (and, to a lesser extent, DBGT), it's doubtful this will ever happen, but it's still a possibility.
You're also complaining about the amount of information that got ""lost"" in the merge. Once again, it's not gone for good, all the information is still present in page histories, and furthermore, you've been told multiple times that you're welcome to properly source the material and add it back in as appropriate. Granted, at the moment the article is semi-protected, but you can still post reliably sourced info on the talk page to be added into the article by a registered user, or you can register for your own account and not have to wait for either the protection to expire or someone else to add the info.
KojiDude made a comment about everyone being lazy. I certainly can't speak for everyone, but I am lazy, and yet I'm still taking the time to write out this response to several complaints. It would be far easier, and faster, for me to just ignore this conversation altogether, especially considering the length of my watchlist and the limited amount of time I have to go through it.
