Holocron

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A collection of snippets of plot summary from disparate Star Wars Expanded Universe sources -- but no overall assertion or substantiation that the items are themselves notable. References are to primary sources or in-universe encyclopedias/references that themselves offer just plot; no indication that the topic has been subject of any third-party coverage. Prose itself contains snippets of original research (e.g. "holocrons seem to indicate"). First two pages of Google Books search yields mostly the same in-universe texts as the article calls on; first out-of-universe use of the term is for a similarly-named mountain; another, a single parenthetical use of the word in a 310-page book. All together, the article fails WP:OR, WP:N. --EEMIV (talk) 18:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Star Wars Expanded Universe. Vanishingly little coverage.  None (that I can see) independent from lucasfilm and friends. Protonk (talk) 22:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure a redirect to the EU article is appropriate. The article I think doesn't mention "holocrons," and I'm not sure it's the best course to redirect EU-only ideas to the EU article, lest someone misinterpret such redirects as suggesting the idea that the article needs a crufty, "List of Star Wars concepts that appear only in the EU". --EEMIV (talk) 18:57, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete/RedirectYet another non-notable fiction topic. Article's can't and shouldn't be based solely on primary sources.--Crossmr (talk) 08:25, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect Should be included in that article and redirected to appropriate section so people searching for this information can find it. Not notable enough for independent article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:44, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
