Star wars FAQ
User has recreated twice after speedy deletions. Not encyclopedic. Appears to be an attempt at a discussion forum or something. --Tabor 23:04, 4 May 2005 (UTC) Do not delete I don't think that it should be deleted. It is a database where people can come and find quick and easy answers about the Star Wars universe. I think that it is a great idea and that they should be included in all articles. Anyone can ask a question and everyone can answer the question. I don't see this as a discussion board, merely as a way to get quick knowledge about the Star Wars universe to other Star Wars fans on this website. - By the way, I am NOT the person who created this page. I am merely a user who saw the page and thought it was a great idea.
 * I'm not sure if this was really speedy material but the description one of the admins used was on target. This is an attempt to form a discussion board, not an encyclopedia article.  Delete and politely encourage the anon author to contribute to our many other articles about Star Wars.  Rossami (talk) 23:27, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia articles are not lists of FAQs. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:44, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per all above. FreplySpang (talk) 23:55, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. This looks like a cut-and-paste from SuperShadow.com. Also, the anonymous user who made the page has been posting spurious links to the Star Wars article. Binadot 00:06, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Longhair | Talk 00:51, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unencyclopedic. KingTT 01:40, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Extremely strong DO NOT DELETE! This page is awesome! Don't say it is not encyclopedic, because it is. It is a unique encyclopedia. I see it as a way to encourage users to add information. Also, a lot of information does not appear on the Star Wars wikipedia page, no offense to the creators or anything. It's just that there is a lot of information there that they think is the most important. What about the other information that everybody knows? There are a lot of people who don't know things like that and want to learn them. The FAQ page is not an actual FAQ page. Actual FAQ's have one person, an official representative of that company, in this case Star Wars, answering everybody's questions. Whoever made this, was saying everyone help everyone. The user stated it was NOT a discussion board, and just wants to make it easier for people to obtain information that they want. I have been to SuperShadow.com. This web page looks absolutely nothing like it. And there is nothing wrong about posting links to it on the Star Wars web page. It is a related topic from the Wikipedia site. How else is everyone supposed to learn about it? And by the way, someone has deleted the link from the Star Wars page! Think about the positives. If enough users contribute questions and answers, it will be a huge information database. There will be so much stuff, you may not even have to ask your questions anymore. You just look them up from the long list. This is an outstanding idea and I would THINK that Star Wars fans would want to keep it! Ilovetolearn
 * Delete. This is not an encyclopedic article. This article appears to be a rumor mill/fan message page, and as such should be deleted swiftly. - UtherSRG 15:48, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * DELETE the article is not a FAQ as it contains no frequently asked questions or answers to them. It can't be encyclopedic, since it's a discussion board. If it were a real FAQ I'd say transwiki it somewhere, as it is, it's a non-article request for discussion. I suppose you could redirect it to its own talk page. 132.205.15.43 01:34, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not. Gazpacho 05:27, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete without even having to look at the article. From the consensus of previous voters I can deduce this is fancruft and/or speculation.   &mdash; J I P | Talk 09:29, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. With this new feature anyone can come and ask questions about the Star Wars Universe. Once a question is asked, anyone can type in the answer. With enough information, this could be an outsanding web page. In other words, an attempt to use Wikipedia as a free web host for a new experiment. As someone else commented above, Wikipedia is not a FAQ site, although What Wikipedia is not doesn't seem to say that explicitly. Maybe it should. Andrewa 15:48, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
