Gavyn Sykes[edit]

A user (that seems to be unusually invested in the actor that portrays this character...) has created this article on a VERY minor Episode I character. Not only is this article non-notable (no sources are cited except primary or the actors blog), but it is also completely written in-universe and is a blatant rip-off of the wookiepedia article. Request to delete and simply list with List of Star Wars characters. --Torsodog^Talk 01:14, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Purge questionable copyvio content (including images with partial/missing FUR, all of which I think I've tagged) and redirect to List of Star Wars characters#S. --EEMIV (talk) 01:18, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The tendentious editor just tried blanking the page (save the AfD notice, and adding some sort of capitulation). This can probably be speedy-closed and the redirect established. The images (save one released to public) have been tagged di. --EEMIV (talk) 02:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page blanking by the author does make it eligible for speedy deletion. On another note though, the supposed copyvio is from Wookieepedia, which appears to be licensed under the GFDL just like Wikipedia. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
