[edit] Form V: Shien / Djem So

WP:FICT Minor plot component from fictional work This is part of a series of articles on Star Wars-related sword fighting technique, all copied directly from the Star Wars wiki. There's also already a long Wikipedia article on Lightsaber combat. John Nagle 22:19, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Additional articles on laser sword technique include

• Form IV: Ataru
• Sun djem
• Form VI: Niman
• Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad
• Form IX: Shien
• Form X: Niman / Jar'Kai

There may be more; see contributions of Silver Sonic Shadow (talk • contribs). These are all duplicates of articles from the Star Wars wiki. This is, therefore, a multiple-article AfD. --John Nagle 22:28, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete WP:FICT Non-notable minor plot component. Parts of this material may be original research. This level of detail certainly wasn't in the movies. --John Nagle 22:39, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable minor plot. DarthVader 23:00, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all per nom, this level of detail is why Wookieepedia was created in the first place. BryanG 00:40, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Overly detailed and rather crammed with fanon/fanfiction. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 00:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Lightsaber Combat. I mean, that is what they are about. --maru (talk) contribs 01:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. As BryanG says, that's what the Star Wars Wiki is for. -- Tangotango 06:02, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge or just Redirect as per maru. Nationalparks 06:37, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --mav 14:15, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This is not an article, this is itself fiction. Postdlf 18:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to lightsaber combat, where they are covered in adequate detail. (Although, these are pretty important plot points, especially in Stover's books.) -LtNOWIS 01:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• I'll toss in a lonely and already-massacred keep and tag with {{verify}}. Wikipedia cannot be harmed by containing more verifiable content that's appropriate for an encyclopedia, even if it doesn't interest anyone posting here. Wiki is not paper, and a large part of Wikipedia's advantage over conventional encyclopedias is that it can host content that's of interest to only a limited number of people.

  Of course, sources aren't cited for specific sources, which is bad. Thence, the {{verify}}. But the statements are all verifiable, and if some may be original research, those specific statements can be removed.
