I am nominating this for deletion because, there is no assertion that this is a notable topic, and it also fails WP:NOT, it is a collection of indiscriminate data. Delete. Bryson 23:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - mostly plot summary with no assertion of real-world notability. Almost none of these entries have any particular significance, even in the books/games; they're window dressing so that the authors can say "Slayn & Korpil made the Y-wing" rather than "a company made a Y-wing" -- but, really, it's just background detail. Yes, these things enrich the fictional EU, but they rarely have large significance in the pages/game levels they appear on, let alone outside in the real world. There are a few exceptions -- e.g. Kuat Drive Yards, which plays an important plot point in some books -- and even that article may be on its way to AfD. Additionally, there are very few sources. I'm sympathetic to User:Deckiller's comment on the previous AfD that it's best to have this dam rather than 100 individual articles and stubs with this info -- but, I disagree, and would rather delete this and then delete whatever assorted individual company articles crop up. More tedious, but ultimately thins out the weak material. --EEMeltonIV 07:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Surprisingly few people have weighed in on this, considering the popularity of the Star Wars universe AND the obvious hard work performed on this article by the author. Nevertheless, I agree with deletion because all of this appears to be drawn from the novels that are spinoffs from the films.  Although the "lack of real world notability" might seem, at first, to be a bizarre comment about entities that are not real, I agree with Melton that these are minutiae that would be unknown even to most Star Wars fans.  Maybe the author can publish a Star Wars Yellow Pages, but Wikipedia has its limits.  Mandsford 00:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
