I don't know why the lich king get his own page despite it more state of being then a character Most Lich king History should go to Ner'zhul and Arthas pages during their respective reigns as the lich king instead getting it own page. --Forsakenlord (talk) 00:55, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

The Lich King is his own entity. When Ner'zhul was "killed" by Kil'jaeden, he became the Lich King; Ner'zhul remained as something of a nickname, or a short-hand name. Ditto for when Arthas became the Lich King himself. Though we called him "Arthas", the man known as Arthas was gone; only the Lich King remained. Bolvar might be iffy, considering he took the power of the Lich King within himself for benevolent reasons. But in a way, Bolvar Fordragon did indeed die - as he is now the Lich King.

In short, whatever you were before technically no longer matters after you put on the crown. When that crown's on your head, you're the Lich King. The information on that page was detailing the creation and crimes of the Lich King, not of Ner'zhul or Arthas. Or Bolvar, as the current case may be. -- Joshmaul, Loremaster of Chaos (Leave a Message) 15:14, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
