[edit] First Strike

  • Investigate Further If there's a way to salvage the pages in a category of Star Wars weapons by verifying that the weapons existed in the two trilogies or expanded universe, that might be the better approach. If the weapons did not exist in any other Star Wars publication, then Delete. Targetter 18:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I would delete the BF2 Mod's page, though... Targetter 18:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Interwiki and delete. There must be a Star Wars fancruft wiki. The author made no attempt to establish context so we can assume they thought they were writing in that wiki already. -- RHaworth 19:47, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete First Strike per nom, transwiki the rest to Wookieepedia. --Coredesat 21:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all per nom. (Although some of this might be useful if it were simply renamed 'X (Star Wars)')--Dougall 21:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete All per nom. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 22:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all articles associated, making sure to hang onto articles like Carrack-class light cruiser which are included on some pages. Jammo (SM247) 00:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete All Non-notable game - with the existence of List of Star Wars weapons and Wookieepedia, I am confident that the Jedi watching over all that stuff will restore any weapons/people deleted here if they turn out to be notable. Looking at these (as a non-expert), they look pretty unnotable. Use the delete force. --DaveG12345 07:38, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I would like to say something, before u decided to delete this, I have been hard at wrok getting it set up. I am NOT by no way finished, this is just being done as I go along, for right now I have exams (finals) right now and I promise it WILL be hdone to the ways of wikipedia and its neutral view. So please take that into consideration. Mathieu121 11:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. It is not all that difficult to tell that these articles are well under the notability line for Wikipedia. Mathieu121 - I recommend you read up on the policies of Wikipedia because it is a shame to see so much work go to waste. If you familiarise yourself better with what articles and content are acceptable on Wikipedia then your efforts will go to good use, and everyone wins. Remy B 11:51, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
