Lumpawarrump

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

Wholly insignificant character. No citations to third-party reliable sources to establish notability. Entirely plot summary. Redirect to appropriate target -- Chewbacca -- reverted by User:Ksempac since apparently I'm just "sneaky". Bringing it to AfD for community consensus that this Wookiee, marginally significant within the Star Wars universe, doesn't meet the notability threshold for such "detailed" coverage at Wikipedia. --EEMIV (talk) 13:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect Fails WP:Notability --Megaboz (talk) 14:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrong venue There is a way to deal with such reverts, to get community opinion about whether they are justified, and it's WP:Dispute resolution. Afd is not intended for such purposes--it is an abuse of process to bring something here unless the actual intent is to delete it; if a redirect is proposed, then keep arguing for one in the proper place through the various steps. Frankly, if i weren't involved in this topic I would close this right now as "no request for deletion" DGG (talk) 15:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * A redirect is the recommendation before material as an alternative/precursor for AfD. Apparently its notability is disputed. The underlying issue is that this topic doesn't warrant coverage here. Hence, AfD. --EEMIV (talk) 15:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have neither conflict with EEMIV, nor interest for this article. I simply want the community to agree on the delete or merge instead of one user doing it all by himself (especially since another user ( RMHED ) asked to go for an AfD before EEMIV redirected the article). About the AfD, i agree with Dzied Bulbash (below), since right now the Chewbacca article has a link to Lumpawarrump and no mention of who he is. Ksempac (talk) 08:52, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * delete content as an original essay; redirect to Chewbacca (as it is done for xis mother, Mallatobuck ), with short description. Dzied Bulbash (talk) 16:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as OR/fancruft and then redirect to Chewbacca. We can easily modify this AfD to just say "Delete this article about a non-notable subject" and not care about where it redirects to.  the suggestion of the redirect is to help navigation and to help prevent some attempts at recreation.  We can't just assume that because someone disagrees with this outcome that it is a content dispute.  By definition, for every article in wikipedia, there is someone who wants to keep the article as is.  The existence of that person doesn't dictate which venues can be used in a debate.

 * Delete One of many minor SW characters who have unnecessarily overlong articles padded with in-universe fluff. sixty nine   • speak, I say •  07:14, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
