Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Female Revan

I think, in all fairness, that this article deserves to stay up. If the main Revan page remains up then this one should as well. Not everyone who played SW:KotOR played as a male character. And in all truthfulness, referring to Revan as male in the main page isn't strictly remaining neutral at all. You can call it remaining "canon" all you want, but canonically Revan is a lightsided male, and not everyone who played the game played as lightside either. The only real way to remain neutral is to have BOTH intrepretations remain as they are, that way everyone is satisfied. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjpb3 (talk • contribs)

Since for whatever reason I can't comment on the actual page (never participated in such a thing, I generally do quick anonymous edits as I see the need...mea culpa for this being in the wrong spot since I can't figure out how to get it in the right spot) I guess I should mention this here. Whether the article should be kept or not, or if it should be merged would, I assume, be based not only on quality of content but on reality, not on what is canon in a fictional universe when reality dictates that that is nothing but a person's whim. The reality is, this is an article about a videogame character that had various paths--the character could be male or female, any color of the human rainbow, short, tall, Dark, Light, or inbetween. That is reality. Lucas does not preempt reality, and if he wanted a light sided male Revan, he should not have allowed a game that gave players a choice in the matter. He did; let Wikipedia reflect this truth (note what the Darth Revan article says at the bottom-- "Categories: Articles with unsourced statements | Star Wars video game characters | Star Wars Sith characters | Heroes who turned evil | Jedi | Star Wars Old Republic characters" (emphasis mine). Well then, for a true description of Revan, good time should be given to the character as a male and a female, and as a dark sided character and a light sided.  There are differences--for instance, a female Revan never mentions a homeworld where as a male Revan does.  Keep Lucas' canon on his pages, let Wikipedia reflect reality.  (Drini, please don't bother saying this is my first edit, I have made dozens, anonymously--in fact I added some of the female Revan parts to the Darth Revan page after discussing it with some people and convincing them that if they're going to write about a videogame character in an encyclopedia, logically they should at least give something more than lipservice to the fact that the character can be female. I will continue to make them anonymously; I only registered for an account because I understood that was the only way to comment on the debate page--I guess I just don't know how to do that.)
