Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Techno Union (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete; a redirect may be created through the editorial process. As explained by EyeSerene, a merger would conflict with WP:V and WP:NOR, given the lack of sources (let alone reliable ones) for this content.  Sandstein  11:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Techno Union
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article establishes no notability through reliable sources, and as such is just an in-universe repetition of the plot of various Star Wars media, is duplicative of that content, and can be safely deleted.  Jerry  delusional ¤ kangaroo 15:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete - Although some significant chunks of in-universe plot summary and trivia were removed during/after the first AfD, no improvements to this article to offer real-world perspective have come about since. One of the specific citations is to an unreliable fan site, the other to a one-sentence blurb. WP:PLOT, WP:RS, WP:GNG seem sufficient rationales to delete. --EEMIV (talk) 15:37, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into a combination article on Star Wars Organizations--we have the category, but not yet the article. That would keep the information together in Wikipedia, and remove the problem of individual notability. But seriously, have the Star Wars mavens really checked for sources? is this really not discussed? DGG (talk) 01:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Redirect, unless per WP:DEL it went through Deletion review. I trust that User:Jerry had a good reason to undelete it on May 8, but I don't see that paper trail here. (He both undeleted it and submitted it back for AfD, so I'm sure there's something I'm not seeing here.) Otherwise, I concur with EEMIV and the previous process and suggest that this article be merged into one of the larger Star Wars ones. JRP (talk) 04:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relevant discussion is here: Deletion_review/Log/2008_May_4. My vote changes to Merge into a relevant StarWars article as determined by a content area expert. JRP (talk) 04:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If no consensus emerges for the "merge" option, I submit delete as my second choice. It seems that relevant portions of this article (but by no means all of it) already exist elsewhere so no merge may be necessary. JRP (talk) 21:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:38, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Episode II. Not covered in sources independent from lucasfilm and distributors.  No significance outside the franchise. Protonk (talk) 01:50, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep at least redirect in some place as was result of previous discussion. Obviously a legitimate search term with notability beyond Episode II.  --63.3.1.1 (talk) 04:51, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is (mostly) uncited, in-universe, and has little real value.  An attempt to bring the article in line with Wikipedia policies would leave so little article left to be worth keeping.    The Moridian   08:20, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wookieepedia, an appropriate location for this in-universe, fancrufty article. Stifle (talk) 11:20, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Wookieepedia has its own, much more detailed articles on pretty much every subject in Star Wars, including this one. Transwikiing would be useless for them. - Sikon (talk) 08:50, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In that case, delete. Stifle (talk) 09:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science fiction-related deletion discussions.   --  Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  17:04, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete For me, sourcing and verifiability are the issues here. If all unsourced content was removed, the article would be reduced to two sentences. If reliable sources were used, we'd be down to nothing. For this reason, I don't think a merge would be appropriate, as we'd just be shifting the WP:OR problems into another article. The term "Techno union" doesn't appear in the Star Wars galaxy article at all, and this article is not especially well-linked from other articles. This perhaps indicates not only a lack of real-world notability, but a lack of notability and verifiable information even within the franchise itself. EyeSerene talk 10:52, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into...somewhere. Now that the Confederacy of Independent Systems article has been deleted, There's nowhere to really merge it, unless its to Clone Wars (Star Wars). --Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * How about a redirect to Battle droid, then?  Jerry  delusional ¤ kangaroo 00:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
