The result of the debate was confusing, but I think that I hope that I'm not blundering to much if I call this a redirect to energy ball. The term does seem to have some hits as referring to light balls or something like that. Ah well, if anybody thinks my decision was completely wrong just inform me.

Yep, redirecting to energy ball was dumb, since it just made a back-to-back redirect, let's try again, redirect to fireball? Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was No Consensus. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 03:08, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kinetite

Two pertinent Google hits for "kinetite telekinesis" on a Star Wars webforum. Delete as original research, or poorly attested neologism. Pilatus 13:26, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as particularly neo neologism. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 14:42, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• I'm thinking keep and expand, but probably rename to energy ball or some such. The article is about all energy balls, fire balls, power balls and the like in fiction and gaming. According to our fireball disambiguation page, we don't have an article for this yet. It's not original research or a neologism. The term kinetite appeared in Splinter of the Mind's Eye, the first novel in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, according to this source. However, energy ball is a more common name.-LtNOWIS 18:57, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

• Rename and redirect. The word is not notable; the concept, however, is potentially encyclopedic. I have no idea what to rename it to; energy ball seems iffy, but I can't think of anything better. --Ashenai (talk) 09:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete. Neologisim, original research. Is suggesting 'rename and redirect' a good idea when you can't actually suggest what it should be renamed to? Proto t c 16:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I did suggest what it should be renamed to: energy ball (sorry if that wasn't clear). I just noted that I wasn't really happy with that, so as to encourage others to suggest better redirect targets, if they could. --Ashenai (talk) 16:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete blantently obvious neoligism.... maybe a redirect to a dragonball article afterwards.... Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 21:07, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
