Forest moon of Endor
Fancruft, original research, speculation on a supposed Ewok holocaust, niche interest. From what I've heard, there are already two Star Wars wikis, so Wikipedia isn't the place for this. I'll apologize in advance to all the teenage boys, video store employees, and comic book collectors that this nomination offends and insist that this isn't anything personal. I don't expect this to get deleted, but it would be such a happy, joyous day if it did. Direct personal comments to my talk page, please. Brian G. Crawford 02:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment/Question. About the Endor Holocaust stuff, that originally had its own page, but I nominated it for AfD, and it got deleted. Since it was deleted, the stub on the Endor Holocaust in the Endor page has grown from people merging stuff from deleted page back in. Your reason for deletion seems to stem entirely from that section though, so instead of deleting the entire Endor page, why not just delete that section? The topic of the Endor Holocaust has already been deemed unworthy of being included in wikipedia, so the Endor page could be fixed quickly and easily by removing the offending info. I do believe that the Endor page deserves to be Kept though Geedubber 03:34, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep. The moon is one of the central locations of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. It's clearly significant and notable within the Star Wars universe. The wiki is not paper, so we can cover areas traditional encyclopedias do not. Probably could use some more sources, but so could half the articles on Wikipedia. Certainly some Star Wars-related stuff is too obscure for Wikipedia, but this isn't one of them. BryanG 02:32, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep you seem to be confused. Endor is a moon not a planer. The Endor seen in Episode VI is the Forest moon of Endor which orbits Endor. The Planet of Endor itself is not seen in Star Wars Episode VI. Jedi6  -(need help?)  02:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable enough to be here even if it also exists on another Wiki; hopefully we are building a holistic encyclopaedia. Certainly rm guff re Ewok holocaust unless it can be verified. Why would it be a joyous day to see this deleted? Articles like this are an important part of Wikipedia's distinctiveness. I think BGC may be on something of a crusade. Sadly my days of being a teenage boy and collecting comic books are long behind me, although I'm still interested in the video store job if the hours are good. Badgerpatrol 02:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * This 25 year old guy who doesn't read comic books or work in a video store says keep. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 03:03, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, this seems notable enough if we're keeping any Star Wars stuff. That being said, the section on the "holocaust" needs to go.  That's OR, and it's OR about stuff that ain't even true, which strikes me as the worst kind of OR. --Deville (Talk) 03:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very important Star Wars location. Carioca 03:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Cleanup per nom. Morgan Wick 03:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Crazy rabid Ewok keep. --maru  (talk)  contribs 03:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Cleanup Endor is a very notable location in the Return of the Jedi and passes WP:FICT, "Endor Holocaust" is fanon and does not belong. Dspserpico 03:49, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable Star Wars location. Might need a cleanup. DarthVad e r 03:51, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep setting of three different things? Kotepho 04:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Wookiee Ewok Keep per the Darth Vader. Rise.  _-M      o      P-_   04:39, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Relevant to the series, plenty of sources for constructive article and notable. Plenty enough reasons for its own article.--Cini 04:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Star Wars has a very strong cultural presence, and the forest moon of Endor (even if many people think it's the planet Endor itself) is one of the three planets (or moon, in this case) that are unquestionably integral and well-known (the other two being Tatooine and Hoth).  This isn't a little-known location like, say, Blenjeel, which rightfully has only a tiny entry in a list of minor planets.  --Icarus 05:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Notable enough since we do have Star wars related stuff Aeon 06:36, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, this is not Starwarscruft as this is a notable place in the Star Wars galaxy. --Ter e nce Ong 06:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, reasonably well-sourced, informative, notable, highly important to popular culture. There may be some Star Wars wikis, but that does not mean that this is not part of "the sum of human knowledge." Nominations like this are why it's vital that people participate in AfD- deletionists seem to abound.Captainktainer 09:17, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
