Talk:Merpeople

I suggest we make this a re-direct page to Sea People. This page tries to differentiate between "Merpeople" (Narnian) and "Sea People" (world's-end), but Lewis called both varieties "Sea People." I think it's probably the right idea to have a generic Sea People page, a Narnian Sea People page, and an End-of-the-world Sea People page (like we have with Dwarf, Red Dwarf, and Black Dwarf).

I disagree. Both are referred to as seapeople, only because they both live in the sea, yet they are physically described as different species. The seapeople have legs, whereas merpeople have tails. Therefore they are different species. And there's more than enough info on the seapeople page that warrants them to have their own page separate from the merpeoples.

I'm not saying they shouldn't be separate; I'm saying the different pages should be "Narnian Sea People" and "Eastern Sea People," not "Merpeople" and Sea People," because the latter is uncanon and confusing. Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 18:41, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I dunno. Everyone I know refers to the Narnian seapeople simply as Merpeople. Not just in Narnia franchise, but all around. I myself have always thought of them as Merpeople, so I dont think I could ever get used to start calling them NSP. And didnt Lewis always refer to them as Merpeople?
