[edit] AT-PT

AT-PT (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Of little importance, not every Star Wars character/vehicle/concept needs its own page, specially if its from the Expanded Universe.

I am also nominating the following related pages, same reasson as above, none of these vehicles are notable outside the Star Wars fandom.

A5 Juggernaut (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

TIE crawler (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

AT-TE (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

AT-PT (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Delete all but AT-TE. The AT-TE is from the second two movies of the prequel trilogy, not the expanded universe. Kwsn^(Ni!) 16:31, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree, do not delete the AT-TE article. --Paladin 20:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

  • comment Id merge the most important ones in one page (the one we've seen in movies, incluiding the AT-AT, which is probably pretty famous by now), the ones for the expanded universe should belong in Wookiepedia. But theres also several other ships and vehicles in the expanded universe, and they all have their own pages, merging all of them in one page might do it.Kessingler 12:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Merge into List of Star Wars ground vehicles or some such. All, including AT-TE. Just because it appears in movies, it is not automatically worth keeping. I find more compelling for its retention the notion that there is real-world material out there to cite about it serving as a precursor to the AT-AT -- designed the evoke the "feel" of that vehicle and come across as a distinct predecessor. But even that is just a snippet of a couple of sentences, and not enough to sustain an article. It might even be worthwhile to redirect AT-TE to AT-AT and include a section on that page (which needs out-of-universeing) about this other vehicle's relationship to its more-notable cousin. --EEMeltonIV 16:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into List of Star Wars ground vehicles, there's no real reason to keep this here. There are far to many StarWars pages as it is. Canadianboywest 01:47, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep for AT-TE and A5 Juggernaut - As mentioned above, AT-TE featured in cinema. A5 featured on television in Cartoon Network's Star Wars: Clone Wars, and appears to have shown up in film as well. As such, notable and worthy of coverage. Merge any vehicles without a similar case for note to List of Star Wars ground vehicles per anon. MrZaius^talk 22:22, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Just because they appeared in a movie and a cartoon series does not make it worth of a page IMO, specially if they were just vehicles without even a memorable mention within the movie or the cartoon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kessingler (talk • contribs)

Perhaps not, although in this case the fact that it was negates the initial rationale stated for the listing and, combined with their coverage in the expanded universe, it certainly seems like they warrant greater consideration than the rest of the list. MrZaius^talk 09:18, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but then again, both vehicles only appeared in the movie, nothing more, they didnt had any cultural impact beyond that, unlike, for example, the millenium falcon or the blade runner spinner, etc. As far as i recall the vehicles even had a very small part in the movies, to keep both articles in here would be nothing but fancruft as it would be only of interest to those who want to know more about star wars (and thats where wookiepedia is supposed to show up!)Kessingler 01:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Transiwiki then Merge wouldn't be all that bad - If that's the result, let me know and I'll help. MrZaius^talk 15:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
