List of Star Wars companies

 * Delete. I believe that this "list" article merits deletion due to Wikipedia's policy that it is not an indiscriminate collection of information; specifically, that it is not for "lists or repositories of loosely associated topics."  The policy seems to indicate that if the list itself (not the entries comprising the list, but the actual list itself) is famous on its own standing, or contributed to the fame of the subject, it is acceptable to keep; I do not believe this list satisfies that corollary. &mdash; Mike (talk &bull; contribs) 17:13, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Listcruft, triviacruft, fancruft. KillerChihuahua?!? 18:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep originally, I merged these into a list to get someone else to nominate it for deletion. However, we need to make sure that these do not get their own articles in the future. If someone can create an eneyclopedic article on star wars technology (or devices, in this case), then I would support that. Think of it this way; having one semi-guideline violation beats having 150 major guideline violations. The lesser of two evils is that this list remain as a "cruft dam" to provide potential for an encyclopedic shift and also to save on process, time, and lost ambition by new users with potential. &mdash; Deckill e r 18:39, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. Important part of a fictional world, much like Category:Middle-earth places, Spells in Harry Potter, etc. -LtNOWIS 07:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no realtion whatsoever to this funny thing - ahh how was it called again? ah yes - called reality and not even a realtion to the movies. Its pure fan fiction. Dickbauch 10:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's not fanfiction, it's information from published novels, games, comics, and so on. Please read the citations. No fanfiction is allowed in Star Wars articles. This information makes up part of the "canon" (or official) Star Wars universe.&mdash; Deckill e r 16:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It also relates directly to the movies, especially with the CIS members. -LtNOWIS 10:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Some of these articles-in-a-list-form are quite major in Star Wars- the activities of Kuat Drive Yards (to name just one example) drive the entire Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. --maru  (talk)  contribs 23:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete this content is really more appropriate for Wookiepedia. Eluchil404 22:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Insufficient sourcing, therefore it's probably either original research or derivative copyvio. Also, even if it's not deleted, the logo images need to be removed; fictional logos hardly qualify under Wikipedia's blanket fair use claim on logos, and they are fair use images being used in a manner which is solely decorative. (See Fair use, points 5 and 8.) KWH 04:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Went ahead and removed the logos and one of those charts. &mdash; Deckill e r 04:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
