The result of the debate was merge with Planets of Star Wars#Rhen Var. ugen64 23:17, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

One could argue that a fan of Star Wars would easily find this content interesting and informative. Is that enough to warrant inclusion? Does that same rule apply to other content listed for deletion as well outside of the sci-fi spectrum? Where does the bar lie for fictional planets? Rhen Var returns 335 googles. --GRider\^talk 00:39, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Merge or keep, of course that's enough to warrant inclusion and applies to anything which significant numbers of people would find interesting and informative. Kappa 01:46, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

*Keep. This is not something you can just throw around GRider. Games have been set here, the animated series went here. Certainly more notable than most the other couple thousand planets created for the Star Wars galaxy. Leave it alone. -- Riffsyphon1024 02:00, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. What Riffsyphon1024 said.-LtNOWIS 03:55, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge somewhere, or else delete. This Star Wars crap is out of hand. Might be worse than Pokemon. -R. fiend 04:04, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I can't really see how this would have any note outside Star Wars fandom. The argument that there are other articles equally picayune, in Pokemon or Star Wars, doesn't really apply. Demi 05:26, 2005 Mar 10 (UTC)
• Keep, but with reservations. Article needs cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 07:21, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Will someone knowledgeable about Star Wars please be bold and merge this and all related VfD'ed articles for which consensus indicates merging? Radiant! 11:11, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or merge. Not notable on its own. Martg76 17:28, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --Ryan! | Talk 18:55, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Changing my vote to Transwiki to Star Wars Wiki now that it is open. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:07, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not encyclopedic. Wyss 01:47, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This article has been transwikied to Star Wars Wiki. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:43, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Merge - Personally I would like to see an article called Minor planets from Star Wars along the lines of Minor Star Wars organizations and the various Minor characters in Star Wars articles, then we could just merge all the relevent small articles like this one into it. I am willing to create that article if someone can leave me a list of the relevent articles on my talk page (User_talk:Lochaber). Then we can just turn all these little articles into redirects -- Lochaber 19:35, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • There already is a Planets of Star Wars article (236 planets strong), however if a planet's description is sizable, it is moved to its own article. I will see if this has to be re-merged. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:39, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • Surprising enough, the article itself does not explain anything other than what the segment at the list of planets describes, only put into paragraphs. New vote to Merge with Planets of Star Wars#Rhen Var. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:43, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect ... somewhere, anywhere. Lochaber's idea seems sound to me. Alai 02:38, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I'd prefer to see two seperate articles, a list of major planets of Star Wars (those like Tatooine - with their own articles), and Minor planets of Star Wars (with entries on each planet). I'll have a look around the categories for these. And before someone goes mad saying what is major and what is minor - the ones with longer articles are major and the ones with relatively short stubs are minor. Planets can move between lists if they get expanded and articles on minor planets will be redirected. We can also keep Planets of Star Wars as a disambig. Any Comments?, I am going to start work on this in my userspace on Friday 18th March. -- Lochaber 10:05, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
