Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Star Wars creatures (3rd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Apparently the notability of the list page itself is not under discussion here (other than Atlantic306's comment), just that of the individual entries (and whether adequate sourcing can be obtained for them) and there is no consensus for a deletion. Article cleanup, talk page discussions and merger discussions would be the next step to address any cruft issues. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:27, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Almost nothing here other than porgs or tauntauns has independent coverage that shows noteability. Those two should probably just be merged into the respective articles on the movies they're in. There's a lot of external links, but they almost universally just go to Starwars.com. Jtrainor (talk) 02:05, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep This is the third nomination and the last discussion was a keep result. This go-around doesn't make an argument for deletion; it proposes merger. Andrew D. (talk) 09:54, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep simply because merging would make it too damn long. All this article needs is less reliance on primary source. Trillfendi (talk) 17:31, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per Andrew D. and Trillfendi  Lubbad85   (☎) 23:35, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Y'all need to read what I posted more clearly. I'm proposing flat out removing most of the cruft here and just merging the stuff on porgs and tauntauns. Jtrainor (talk) 02:53, 17 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep as a useful list. I agree with nom that the references could be diversified. Also this should NOT be speeded based on previous discussions as the last discussion was more than a decade ago! gidonb (talk) 23:09, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Considering the amount of information this article has, indeed it would be better to keep it instead of merging. Also, contrarily to the article (AFD) of star trek animals, this one is not as specific and has so much more useful information.  Garlicolive (talk) 15:11, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep and do not slash it as per WP:NOTPAPER merging is a step backwards, this is an obviously notable topic and unlike a blp not every detail of an imaginary character has to be referenced to a secondary source, primary references while not ideal are sufficient if the general topic is notable which it is, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:04, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You may say it's a noteable topic, but there is no independent third party sourcing in the article to demonstrate any noteability for the vast majority of it. Also, everything in this article and then some is duplicated on Wookiepedia anyways. Jtrainor (talk) 22:13, 18 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete This is not encyclopedic, this is a a deep dive into fan club material. Almost all the references are StarWars.com. It would be best listed as additional reading, we don't need to duplicate a fan club page here -- 76.186.185.122 (talk) 20:44, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Procedural Keep The nominator didn't provide a rationale for deletion and is proposing a merger instead. AFD is not for cleanup - start a talk page discussion instead. Dusti</b>*Let's talk!* 18:55, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
