List of Star Wars sectors

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

Unreferenced plot summary and trivia. I realize that lists are more or less a compromise for non-notable topics, but this list contains absolutely no real-world information. Even within Star Wars, "sectors" are just window dressing mentioned in passing; planets and moons might be well-rounded enough and often important to understanding the fictional work, but that's not at all true of these larger swaths of space. Negligible improvement in any meaningful way since contested prod a year ago. --EEMIV (talk) 12:27, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a little too far into the realm of trivia to be considered wikipedia material, especially unreferenced. Copy and paste it to Wookieepedia and let them have it. -- BlueSquadron Raven  14:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure Wookieepedia already covers this material more than sufficiently. --EEMIV (talk) 14:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator, WP:TRIVIA and WP:FANCRUFT. Dalejenkins | 14:33, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of Star Wars planets; failing that, delete as too trivial. JJL (talk) 15:02, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge - If a suitable spot can be found. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 15:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Useful for navigation. ChildofMidnight (talk) 16:41, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per JJL, and possibly consider organizing List of Star Wars planets into a table with a column for the sector each planet belongs to.--Iner22 (talk) 16:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Trivia, fails WP:NOT. — sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 08:56, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete wholly original research about fictional locations that are not the subject of any reliable sources (beyond passing mentions in reliable sources that discuss the works of fiction they belong to). Trivia, content fork, not plot, no original research or synth, etc...Bali ultimate (talk) 12:58, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as basically a glossary of fictional locations that are seemingly nonnotable individually or as a group. If the sectors didn't have such fancy names and were named "sector 1", "sector 2", etc. instead, fans might not even have seen the need to create this list. – sgeureka t•c 08:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No real-world information, no citations; this is essentially trivia. Karanacs (talk) 15:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge, then move merged page. Obviously there's no real world need for this list, the same goes for every other list (or article) of fictional things.  List needs a no ref tag, though.  And if the sectors were just called "Sector 1," etc., the list would still exist, and it would probably be the same. That's my two scents 15:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
