This came up in an Ask The Tropers query, and seriously, WTF is this?

The description's a gushy bio of Ray Harryhausen which should go on Creator.Ray Harryhausen. The examples are a schizophrenic mix of films he worked on (also belong with the Creator), adaptations of those films (need their own work page or mentioned on the original film's work page), stuff influenced by Harryhausen's work (split between Creator.Ray Harryhausen and Shout-Out and Trivia entries as needed), and stuff that vaguely looks like something Harryhausen did (Not a Trope).

I'm also not seeing a YKTTW archive attached, but most of the page history seems to be missing so I've got no clue how old it is.

Proposal: Kill It with Fire, make a proper Creator page for Harryhausen (he deserves one) and redirect there, and split up the examples across the appropriate pages as needed.

EDIT: I count 98 wicks, 19 inbounds.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Agree with this plan.

[tup] from me. I doubt you're going to get much opposition.

[tup] It even looks like a creator page. Why it isn't is anyone's guess.

A simple re-direct to a Ray Harryhausen Creator page with a little clean up is about all that's needed, I think.

Reviewing movies is a lot like Paleontology: The Evidence is there...but no one seems to agree upon it.

Redirect made to Creator.Ray Harryhausen. Just need to change Examples to Works. Hm... where should he be indexed in Creators? Oh! Animators!

Why do we keep forgetting the page types? Fixed it.

And I just split the works from homages. I know there's a lot more homages out there, so feel free to add them.

Going to take the wicks.

Did all the wicks. We are done here.
