 * ALT1: ... that the maintainer of the Holocron, a database of the Star Wars Expanded Universe and Star Wars canon, is known as the Keeper of the Holocron by Star Wars fans and refers to it as a "dream job"?


 * Symbol question.svg Original hook length, references, copyvio, neutrality fine and interesting. QPQ OK. Article length fine, well formatted. On a sidenote I'm not sure you can overrule a previous AfD decision and just recreate the article. Redirected article was also a long, well-formatted one, so probably the consensus had to do something with the topic notability itself. Can you clarify this?

 * Succinctly: this is about a different topic. The original article was about the in-universe Holocron crystals, and used Star Wars novels as sources. The current article is about the Lucasfilm internal database that tracks the entirety of the Star Wars universe, and uses third-party sources as references. The only relation between the two is that they both deal with Star Wars, and the database is named after the crystal.  Mind  matrix  17:40, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I accept your answer but since you've mentioned it: I question that lucasfilm.com and blog.starwars.com qualify for a third party source. I let the editor who promotes this decide since my original doubts are now gone, but a third point of view is always welcome. Good to go.  Lajbi  Holla @ me  •  CP  18:03, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Regarding the refs, most of the article is sourced to third-party refs. starwars.com was sourced primarily for quotations (and one use simply supports an external source), and obtains information directly from Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron database.
