The result was keep. Merging as an alternative was discussed, but not conclusively. In any case, merging does not require an open AFD. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 02:16, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Tantive IV
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An individual spaceship from Star Wars. Source coverage is non-independent or superficial (WP:GNG). Such content is better suited to fan wikis (WP:WAF).  Sandstein  15:25, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Multiple news sources (see Find Sources template, above) Cover this fictional element in the context of the tie in between Rogue One and Star Wars (You can call it 'A New Hope' if you want to; I decline). Further, a merger of some sort--into either movie or some other Star Wars article--is preferable per WP:ATD-M. "This belongs on a fan wiki" is not a reason for deletion, but really part of WP:NIME.

 * Comment even the rocks is Star Wars could probably pass GNG with plenty of coverage, this is really part of the ongoing argument about how much popular culture is allowed in Wikipedia. Dysklyver  09:17, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - not opposed to merge if a decent target article is proposed as candidate. 01:14, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * This opinion lacks an argument why the article should be kept.  Sandstein   10:57, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd reject that it is a GNG fail. Artw (talk) 23:10, 28 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. The sourcing is sufficient to meet the GNG and out of universe context is sufficient to prevent the content from being unencyclopedic "fancruft". Eluchil404 (talk) 21:28, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
