The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result of this discussion was No Consensus. There is a clear consensus to merge the articles, but no consensus on the target. Personally I favor merging to Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, but given that this proposal is over three years old with over two years since there was any discussion, it seems time to close it. One of the articles has already been boldly merged to
List of Marvel Comics characters: M, so this proposal is clearly getting stale.

Surely someone looking for information about a member of the Howling Commandos is likelier to be interested in the Howling Commandos than minor Marvel Comics characters in general.

I am not suggesting that these characters should not be listed on the minor characters list; I simply believe that
Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos should be the merge target and that the titles of the current character articles should redirect here, not to the minor characters list.

I don't see why redirecting to the minor character list makes the entry more like a stand-alone article, nor why such a resemblance would be desirable. In what sense is redirecting to the minor character list more benefitial than redirecting to
Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos? I have already stated why the latter would be advantageous. I would recommend that the
Jacques Dernier and
Jim Morita redirect here as well.

If I were looking for searching for info about Rebel Ralston I would type in Rebel Ralston and it would take me directly to his entry at the characters list and read about him just as if it were its own article instead of reading about the Howling Commandos as a whole with only passing mentions of Ralston.--

Iffy at best since the other team/group lists amount to the same as a one liner bulleted list and are done for one of two reasons 1) "space" - taking a chunk out of an article with a large file size - and/or 2) complexity over "current" and "former" members. This isn't a larger article, nor is the members list long or complex. There is no good reason for splitting other than the assumption that reader keying in "Rebel Ralston" really wants the Howling commandos rather than the specific character. -

Lists of characters should not only be one-liners or bulleted lists. Both
List of Naruto characters and
List of Tokyo Mew Mew characters are featured lists and both of them consist of paragraphical information. An entry on a minor character list has no chance of progressing to featured anything, but a list of characters in a tightly delineated group can eventually develop into a featured list.

J Greb was the one who started that section and the
List of minor DC Comics characters. If we are to do a merge of those characters, we should start sub-sections for it's members except for the major members of that group. Any objections?

Is it now Captain America and his Howling Commandos?
Just saw "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and it looks like Cap's team has been positively declared to be the Howling Commandos. This seems like practical choice in that the movie is set in 2010+, making anyone who was in WWII at least 65+ years older than they were then.
