Talk:Minor races in Star Wars

Purpose of this page
This page was created in reaction to a number of stub articles about minor races in the Star Wars universe that kept showing up on Votes for deletion. If only a paragraph or two can be written on a Star Wars race, then that race belongs here, instead of in an independent article. Kevyn 00:04, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Merging
I believe this and List of Star Wars races should be merged, with the small paragraph for every race (that there's info on). For those articles (Like Wookiee) that have enough for their own article, they'd simply get an internal link.

Otherwise we leave ambiguity as to what's minor and what isn't. Oberiko 17:18, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * I have no objection to you moving this article to List of Star Wars races, combining the two articles, with one caveat: You must go into every article that links to the articles currently and fix the links (it will be a significant project). If you are willing to do that work, then have at it! Kevyn 00:08, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * Hmmm... I was hoping for the much easier "delegation" role. Alright, I'll start working on this then. Oberiko 16:06, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Removed "in the fictional star wars universe","fictional race" statements from each entry as this is now part of the heading of the page. -cwg

I see it as redundant to have two articles, one a List of Races, and the other Minor Races. There are some races/species that are included in both. One is enough and I'm sure one article could hold at least 100 races on it. If I get the time I could work on it. Definitely give it a Merge. Riffsyphon1024 03:23, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Because I moved everything here over to List of Star Wars races, I see no need for this article to remain wasting space. Riffsyphon1024 08:19, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

"Citing Sources"
Could some fanboy make a note of where in the SW canon these races appear? Mentioned by name in the movies? Appeared in the Cantina Scene or other crowded room, but weren't named? Only appeared in the books? It's a bunch fiddly details, but would do a lot to improve the quality of the article. crazyeddie 08:52, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Looks like some entries have this information - others don't. crazyeddie 08:55, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
