A fictional talking trunk that should be merged with the novels that mention it. -- orthogonal 11:35, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: It at least seems to me that this is not a minor character, the article also exists on fr and it might be expanded more in the future. --  Ævar Arnfjörð [ Bjarmason]   11:58, 2004 Sep 10 (UTC)
*Given the fact that all the characters of the Discworld novels have entries, all the countries of Discworld have entries, and a number of the artifacts in Discworld have articles, deleting this one without going after all the others would be a waste of time.  The Luggage is a character that appears in four or more of the novels, so it actually appears more than most of the named characters.  Therefore, if there is going to be a Discworld consolidation, this would be one of the items to be merged and redirected.  However, that's the only justification for a delete, I think.  I'd argue that, for ha-ha fiction, this is higher profile and more longevity.  Geogre 12:30, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

text: I would only support such a roundup if all the individual names were left as redirects, as was done with female hobbits, avoiding that argument. Niteowlneils 11:35, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: This article says that The Luggage "'ate' the most powerful magical spell book on the disc" and then asumes that it is still in The Luggage. In the book Sourcery Rincewind say something along the lines of "It ate a magic book last year, moped around for a bit then threw it up". I always belived that this was a reference to the book it ate in The Light Fantastic.
I would qoute from the book but I don't have it on me. JimKandol 16:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The impression that I got was that it was a different book.  The Octavo seems to have wanted to be eaten...  It wasn't putting up a fight, and didn't seem to plan to go anywhere for another 4500 years or so. Emry (talk) 12:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was the Octavo.  I'll have to find the reference, but somewhere in one of the books it is said that the Octavo was subsequently welded into an iron box and buried at the bottom of a deep shaft (like nuclear waste).  RobertDean (talk) 19:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
