This article is entirely redundant to the Ewok article, as all Reception is related to Ewoks, and not Wicket. Outside of casting info, there really isn't anything that justifies a separation, especially since a source search yields practically nothing else in terms of Reception. I'd say either a merge or redirect to Ewok could be good AtD. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:01, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge to Ewok. The character is certainly notable, but the sourcing just isn't quite there.  Every citation is either primary, non-RS, or not about the character but about Ewoks in general, as nom says.  With better sourcing I could change my mind.

 * Keep Wicket W. Warrick. A notable character for sure. Was a main character in two made for TV movies (with theatrical releases outside North America) as well as two seasons of the Ewoks cartoon, and a large part of Star Wars marketing for the mid-1980s. I would suggest a few additions and citations be added, rather than outright deletion. May require some cleanup, but far less notable characters remain with pages in tact.

 * Could you show any of these sources illustrating notability? I'm willing to consider changing my stance, but my BEFORE showed nothing proving Wicket's independent notability from Ewoks as a species. Just because a character is important does not mean it automatically warrants an article, there need to be sources actively proving a character is notable instead of just a WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES argument.

 * Merge or redirect per WeirdNAnnoyed. This doesn't have WP:SIGCOV outside of the Ewoks, where it is already covered. Shooterwalker (talk) 04:27, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge with Ewok: Wicket W. Warrick is not independently notable from his fictional species. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 06:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
