[edit] Michael Windu

This is not a "real" Star Wars character, but rather the name used by a person playing Knights of the Old Republic. The biography of this fictional fictional character is totally false, and is not even featured in the game. — Jon Hart

• I say: Delete. It's not a real Star Wars character. — Jon Hart
• Delete as MMORPG character, also non-canonical, non-notable, vanity... oh, and if that's not enough, 1 Google hit from a forum. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:27, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete NN. --Fuzzball! (talk) 02:23, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This name that is used by a person playing a video game is not encyclopedic. Zzyzx11 | Talk 02:25, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all player characters from MMORPGs, CRPGs, and pen-and-paper RPG campaigns. android↔talk 03:02, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Crap. Postdlf 03:04, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Strong delete all non-canonical, not officially licensed fan characters. — JIP | Talk 06:13, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Vote emphasised because of the sock puppets. — JIP | Talk 08:57, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete vanity MMORPG characters. Not official canon means not notable. Mgm|^(talk) 10:36, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Michael Windu is a well-established Expanded Universe character. Allenalb|^(talk) 10:57, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC) — (Improperly signed comment by 66.82.9.43.)
  • Given 1 Google hit (per Starblind), the fact that the article clearly reflects that this character was created for a playthrough of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, your impersonation of a nonexistant user, and your vandalism of Mgm's vote, I find that very hard to believe. android↔talk 15:23, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
    • I am not a nonexistant user, and I don't see how I vandalized anything at all. I am confused by this personal attack, all I have done is vote my conscience.Allenalb↔talk 12:37, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC) — (Improperly signed comment by 12.153.112.11; note that this IP address was previously used to sign as DVSMiC and not Allenalb.)
      • I was mistaken; it was not vandalism, but impersonation, since you copy-and-pasted Mgm's vote and changed it to Keep. Furthermore, User:Allenalb has made no edits, and thus does not exist; if you are truly this user, then log in and sign your posts with ~~~~; otherwise, refrain from using a signature that indicates that you are him. android↔talk 16:47, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
        • Impersonation is also an incorrect choice of words, it would be better to say that I plagiarized Mgm's vote, however I did so only to easily facilitate my response. For what it's worth, I am not the 'disputed' Michael Windu (I fully accept that you likely won't believe me). Allenalb 16:58, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I think the sheer nerve of this guy warrants keeping this interesting character. DVSMiC|^(talk) 11:16, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC) — (Improperly signed comment by 12.153.112.11.)
• Keep. I can't believe that so many "serious" Star Wars fans have not heard of this character. KommisMar|^(talk) 11:31, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC) — (User's first edit.)
• Keep. I agree with DVSMiC on this one. If someone has the balls to submit this, it deserves to be kept! Keep it!. Tagbishop|^(talk) 11:26, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC) — (User's first edit.)
• Luuuuuuke... I am your deleter. Delete per WP:FICT, fancruft. Barno 15:43, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Anonymous users: you would do well to read Wikipedia:Sockpuppet. android↔talk 16:51, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete any character that only exists as one user's character on a MMORPG. Average Earthman 18:24, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - NN. The answer to why everyone has odd socks? Cue rubbish jokes about turning to the Sock Side or something. Stop that thought now... SteveW | Talk 20:19, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - The Force is weak with this one. - UtherSRG 21:17, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - until now, sock puppets have not made an appearance in Star Wars. Capitalistroadster 00:37, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - No legitimate internet presence, doesn't actually exist in official Star Wars canon, completely non-notable, sock puppetry. -LtNOWIS 02:57, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Use the force, you know my existence to be true. Michael Windu|^(talk) 12:29, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC) — (Unsigned comment by 68.235.135.203.)
• Luke - I am your delete. Radiant_* 08:41, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Sigh. Quale 21:24, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Use the Delete, Luke, use the Delete. Come, join me... come to the Delete Side. ...I sense a great disturbance in the Sock... the Sock Side clouds everything... Master Thief Garrett
