Form IV: Ataru (Lightsaber combat)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia, as a general interest encyclopedia, does not need an article on one fictional combat style with a fictional weapon in a fictional universe. As a synthesis of non-obvious observations in primary sources, the article is original research. Sandstein 12:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete:Per nom, only sources appear to be personal observations in video games. Violates WP:OR. IvoShandor 12:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: Lenin and McCarthy note at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Form IV: Ataru (Lightsaber combat) (yes, indeed) that the article is apparently copied straight from Wookieepedia without attribution. Sandstein 16:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete We already have an article on lightsaber combat. Jtrainor 20:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. The various lightsaber forms originally DID have an article for the "Seven forms of lightsaber combat", but a previous AfD |here had it merge to the aforementioned lightsaber combat article which probably covers the material just fine (and that article is in the process of cleanup).  And as mentioned above, this article has been taken-word for word-from Wookieepedia.  -- GJD 03:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as per above. And way too many fair use images here. &mdash; Rebelguys2 talk 17:45, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete So divorced from reality. And being copied from Wookieepiedia without attribution is bad.  Mango juice talk 03:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Aaron Bowen 11:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete the non-notable, in-universe, and directly-copied article per above. — Pious7Talk Contribs 20:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
