Consolidation of the Apu Trilogy

I believe that Pather Panchali, Aparajito, and Apur Sansar should be consolidated into a new article: The Apu Trilogy. This would exist so that all three relatively short pages could be contained on a longer page than they had been—the old pages wouldn't be deprecated, but instead redirect to the new page, so that if a page listed Pather Panchali instead of the Apu Trilogy, it would go to that page.

The Godfather and Part II aren't separated, so why should the Apu Trilogy?

Why not create a page for the trilogy, containing an overview of it and tropes applicable to the series as a whole—but also keep the individual pages, which contain information specific to each movie, and to which the overview page might link? At a glance, the individual pages seem to me long enough that they can stand by themselves—unless there's a significant amount of shared information. (I'll confess that I didn't really read them; just glanced at their sizes.)

I agree with Ars, with the added suggested that the trilogy's overview page be where the tropes specific to the novel go, rather than as a separate category sharing the first movie's page which is the case now.

As somebody who hasn't seen the films yet, I might be unqualified to suggest this—however, I do notice that Match Cut is on Pather and Aparajito, and that Aparajito and Apur Sansar are both Coming of Age Stories. Once somebody more qualified gets in on this, then it might be serious.

The presence of shared tropes doesn't necessarily mean that the pages for the parent works are better combined, I feel—especially if the tropes in question aren't present in the third of the trilogy. However, if they do apply to the trilogy overall, then they can be moved to the proposed trilogy page, with the other tropes remaining on their respective individual-work pages.

Actually, the whole series is a Coming of Age Story, from his childhood to his adulthood, so...

What of it?
