[edit] Star_Wars_Technical_Commentaries
Not a notable website. See Wikipedia:Notability for criteria for notability. Also see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(writing_about_fiction) for reasons why this website is inappropriate for Wikipedia. New guy 22:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

- Weak keep, or maybe merge into TheForce.Net. The specific guidelines for assessing the notability of web content are at WP:WEB. I should think that such a comprehensive and supposedly contentious set of webpages must be central to much discussion about Star Wars, though I can't actually find much supporting secondary evidence on the internet. However the fact that it is also the source of two notable books is in its favour. Smalljim 16:21, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

- Proposal - since Saxton is a published author with verifiable links about him and Lucasfilm not particularly getting along, perhaps we should move the article to Chris Saxton, and add further information on his writings? I won't vote because I have been a reader and fan of this website for ages and ages (He has a "what's updated" feature that he added after I suggested it to him sometime back in the mid 90s), so I'm biased. --Golbez 00:55, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

- I think you mean to call it Curtis John Saxton or Curtis Saxton (that's what he uses on his web site), and I think its a good idea. But I note that he is still a postdoc, with 9 published papers and may not yet be notable purely as a scientist. DGG 21:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Er, yeah, whatever his name is. :) I'm not saying he's notable as a postdoc or scientist, though he may be; but he DOES seem notable as an author. --Golbez 06:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

- Delete Article has existed for a long, long time, with no reputable citations added. Smee 09:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC).
- Move as per Golbez above; Curtis John Saxton appears to be one of the authors of the Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections series, and Amazon.com shows him as the co-author for two other SW books. --Kralizec! (talk) 16:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
