[edit] Xanatos (Star Wars)

Xanatos (Star Wars) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Yet another non-notable plot repetition taken from the Star Wars expanded universe that is written from an in-universe perspective with no demonstration of notability through multiple reliable sources. As such, it is just repeating the plot of the Jedi Apprentice series and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

• As far as I'm concerned, an article about a plot element of the Extended Universe needs to be rife with real-world sources if it exists, even more than the original six movies. This lacks them. I support deletion of this article. I do not believe it should be recreated as a redirect, as no one will search for it with the (Star Wars) appendage. Unlink at the disambig page, but leave the entry. seresin ^{wasn't he just...?} 00:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Meets no current criterion for deletion. WP:PLOT only applies to plots, not characters and WP:FICTION lacks consensus. Any overlap with other articles is appropriate for this complicated fictional universe. "In universe perspective" means only not acknowledging it as a fiction.

What about WP:NOTE? seresin ^{wasn't he just...?} 06:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - Honestly I don't care about this article. I only created it because "Xanatos" by default led to an article about this Star Wars character, and I felt that there were other "Xanatoses" that needed to be mentioned, namely the main antagonist from the TV show Gargoyles. However, in spite of my indifference, I see no reason to delete the article, as it is information that SOMEONE probably finds useful. It doesn't hurt wikipedia in any way for the article to remain.

As always, your rationale has nothing to do with the nominating concerns, and you cite criteria and "references" that either don't exist or don't apply. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science fiction & Fantasy-related deletions. --Gavin Collins (talk) 12:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:FANCRUFT. Xanatos is covered at the Star Wars wiki. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 05:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete. Doesn't meet Wikipedia standards of verifiability, and already exists on Wookieepedia. *** Crotalus *** 04:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable character and plot summary/trivia; change Xanatos disambig page to redirect to Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice or whatever work this character most significantly appears in. --EEMIV (talk) 15:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep meets our presentational standards by being organized and does have published references listed in addition to coming from one of the most notable fictional universes. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

As always, your argument completely ignores the nominating rationale, and refers to "references" that aren't there and guidelines that don't apply. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:V? Judgesurreal777 (talk) 01:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we have sources that verify Xanatos as Star Wars character. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 02:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, character with no wide notability outside of the Star Wars Extended Universe. Just a plot regurgitation, hence fails WP:FICT and WP:PLOT. Lankiveil ^{(complaints | disco)} 02:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC).
