tagged speedy, contested and speedy tag removed; character from Star Wars is sufficient grounds for an assertion of notability, but I've taken it here. No opinion. Carlossuarez46 04:25, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete as fancruft, perhaps someone with membership can transwiki to Wookiepedia or whatever it is. Nihiltres ( t .l ) 04:27, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete per lack of significant coverage from independent sources. Corpx 06:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I see no reason to delete this page. I originaly forgot to add the main source but it's up now. The page is detailed and informative. The only reason that I can see for anyone fighting to get rid of it now is for some sick sense of acomplishment, knowing they had a hand in taking down someone elses article.

 * You need independent reliable sources to establish notability Corpx 18:49, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've got that, his bio on the official starwars site is as reliable as it gets. That source is more reliable than half the sources used on this site. Not to mention it is independent of the book I listed as another source. Jts21 18:57, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Star wars site is not independent Corpx
 * So all this fuss is over the fact that my information is official and I didn't add some fansite with the same exact info as a source? Jts21 19:06, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Done, hopefully this will stop now. Jts21 19:20, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Fan sites dont count as reliable sources Corpx 20:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Look my sources are fine I've added to them and checked other wiki articles to see what they used as sources, there's no longer a problem so stop giving me a hard time, okay? Jts21 20:15, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak delete per lack of independent reliable sources. Oysterguitarist 20:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I can see now that people are really nit picky about sources in a desperate attempt to get those little stars in their profiles but look my sources are fine if you want proof check thses pages out ARC Trooper A-17, Arc trooper, Imperial stormtrooper, or just about any other star wars character on this site, they all lack sources or just list the official star wars sites databank as the only source, some even lack that. They aren't being deleted. The reason my page was put up for deletion was because it was originaly a mess, but I cleaned it up. Sources weren't even the problem. Jts21 20:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * They should all be deleted then, if they're lacking "significant coverage from independent reliable sources.  See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS Corpx 20:39, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * All deleting them does is take knowledge away from people. Look the reason those rules were made was to ensure that what was posted on this site is fact. All these things are obviously fact since they appear in credible sources regardless of whether they meet you strict standards. Fact is theres no problem with them and listing more sources wont make them any more true. The people who run this site have final say in this and i'll leave this to them, not you to decide if my sources prove what I wrote is fact. I fixed what they said was wrong about my page.Jts21 20:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Wookipedia already has an entry on this.  I dont think an encyclopedia is the place to list minor characters who have no notability Corpx 20:57, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't get what your problem is, do you get your jollies off of harassing people or what? I'm leaving this up to the staff to decide. He's a character who's appeared multiple times in the movie, become an action figure, and had expanded universe bios written for him, as well as possibly appearing later on in the new cartoon. If you don't like that i've made a page about him thats fine, you've made it clear but enough, okay? With the effort you've put into trying to get this page deleted its clear that you either enjoy PO'ing people or spend all your time on wikipedia trying to increase the rank of your vandalism star thing at the expense of other people. I personly think thats wrong. FYI I checked wp:otherstuffexists and my article should be fine, it's not too short and I've proven the information to be true. Smaller characters than him have their own articles, this character appears enough that he deserves one too.Jts21 21:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge to one of the lists of Minor characters in Star Wars. I'm not sure whether Thire fits best in List of minor Star Wars Imperial characters or the general List of minor Star Wars characters, but I'm sure there's a place for him in one of those lists. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 17:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * merge per Josiah Rowe seems fair. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Lacks reliable sources. Harlowraman 20:09, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
