The result was   redirect to List of minor Star Wars droids. Consensus is that this does not deserve an article, but people disagree about whether some of it should be merged. In such cases, the best option is to redirect to the target article. It is then left to the editorial process to determine whether any of this material should be merged from the history.

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is simply a repetition of various plot points from the the Star Wars media articles plot sections, and is therefore totally duplicative and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:59, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge with List of minor Star Wars droids Umbralcorax (talk) 01:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable and independent sources to establish notability. Edison (talk) 02:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Umbralcorax Significant coverage in Revenge of the Sith: The Visual Dictionary. There is also some out-of-universe stuff in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith DVD bonuses about how the "race" came to be in hte real world.  Neither independent, but both secondary.

 * Delete—A lack of reliable sources relegates this to the land of WP:OR, thus it isn't really appropriate to include it in List of minor Star Wars droids (which is already rife with OR). Unless covered in WP:RS, it needs to be deleted. Livitup (talk) 18:38, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Entirely in-universe detail and plot information. Notability has not (likely cannot) be established via substantial coverage in reliable secondary sources. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 20:52, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, unoriginal research, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world) and What Wikipedia is. -- Happy editing!

 * Merge as per Umbralcorax. Edward321 (talk) 00:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep as fancruft. Subject is notable, article consists of unoriginal research. All other concerns are reasons for cleanup, not deletion. Erik the Red  2 ( AVE · CAESAR ) 18:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Stubify to a couple of sentences identifying appearance and affiliation with antagonist, then merge into List of minor Star Wars droids. All that plot summary dreck should be cut. --EEMIV (talk) 20:12, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of minor Star Wars droids - this one has usable info, but nothing more notable than the many other droids in the list. Some of the list entries are quite detailed, so there is room there for the info on this droid; but it doesn't need a separate article. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 04:35, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
