Luke's Father

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a useless and uneccesary article that does not meed the standards of notability — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhindle The Red (talk • contribs) 2007/02/01 18:21:39
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - complete bollocks, since Luke's father is Darth Vader. MER-C 12:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Complete speculation and likely a hoax. –Llama man 14:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per MER-C. Luke's father is Darth Vader. - Bugtrio | Talk 14:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete/Merge - I read the article in an other way: In the Star Wars original script (and movie) the Luke's father and Darth Vader was two different persons. Only in Ep.5 Lukas merged the two characters.  If it is so, and there are sources, improve and merge to Darth Vader or an other article.  In the other (probably) case: let the force to delete it.

 * Delete. Indeed. All the article seems to suggest here is the writers of a comic book based their assumption that Luke's father was a separate character on incomplete information. I doubt it was a retcon on Lucas' part, as it's widely documented Lucas had the whole story laid out before ANH and only the first part of the script got made into the first movie of the original trilogy. ~Matticus TC 15:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for all of the above, particularly complete bollocks. However, since an AfD argument should be a bit more substantive, I'll add it fails WP:V completely, making an easy inference of WP:OR. AfD should probably be closed per WP:SNOW, there's no way this article will survive. -Markeer 15:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see no point to this article. Shrumster 16:02, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a redirect to Darth Vader would be in order? — Da rk •S hik ari [T] 17:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Nah. There are loads of people named Luke, such as the biblical Luke, and it's one of the top 100 baby names in the US. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is just plain silly. I wouldn't redirect it, since "Luke's Father" could be nearly anyone out of context.  --UsaSatsui 18:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete strange theory (basically that Luke Skywalker's father is someone else other than Darth Vader) not supported in SW canon or even fandom as far as I know. Interestingly, the article creator's only other mainspace edits are to suggest who Shadow the Hedgehog's father is.  Also their talk page states, "Guesses are Good: I, Neon Apocalypse leader of the mighty Brotherhood and master of this page, now support putting theories on pages. If you don't like that, tell me. (So I can insult you without mercy MUHAHA!"  Hmm. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Shadow the Hedgehog is Darth Vader's father, anyone knows that! It wasn't the midichlorians at all! Think about it! :) ~Matticus TC 20:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete this might even stand under Speedy Delete. Completely useless.  Darth  griz 98 21:23, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unverified.-- danntm T C 22:08, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFT and WP:NOR. Not to mention that canon is what George Lucas says it is; while the subject of the evolution of the character relationships is rather interesting in and of itself, it has no direct bearing on canon. (And in any case, as far as the development of character relationships, such material has been written far more effectively and properly by dedicated fanboys who have far better research skills than the author of this article.) Haikupoet 05:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pure speculation and nonsensical. Even if a source could be found to confirm that George Lucas came up with the Darth-as-Daddy angle after A New Hope came out, which to my knowledge is not the case, this would be worth little more than a footnote in the Darth Vader article. 23skidoo 07:03, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no redirect Luke Perry's father? Biblical Luke's father? Come on. JuJube 23:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
