List of Star Wars Battles[edit]

I proposed deletion but it was technically objected by an anonymous editor saying keep. So I'm bringing it here. As you can see, this has gone through 2 AfDs before, both reaching a consensus to delete. That might make it speediable as a repost, but this might technically be a new article as it was created a few months after the other was deleted. Anyway, the content of the list goes into far too much detail on each battle, copying the exact text from those articles and moving them to the article. Of the four red links or non-links, they are just not linked correctly to the article (except for one which was deleted). This is what categories are for and there is already a category for the battles. This page should just be deleted. Phydend 17:21, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki to Wookieepedia and redirect per all cruft lists. Delete—Wookieepedia already has expansive articles on these battles. I also suggest listing the individual battles with this nomination so we can sort through what has out-of-universe potential (should be kept) and what should be transwikied or deleted. — Deckill er 17:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, didn't see your suggestion until now. It's probably too late to add the individual battles to this nomination as too many people have already weighed in on it, so I'm not going to, but it might be a good idea look into nominating them all in their own.

- ~~Not necessarily; it's always good to see if information can be transwikied first. — Deckill er 17:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)~~[reply]
Oh god, that's a huge amount of duplication. This needs to go. - Penwhale | ^{Blast him / Follow his steps} 17:58, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or Category:List of Star Wars Battles as several of the titles are wikilinked, suggesting articles have been createdJForget 22:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing to merge to, as it's a duplication of the individual articles. - Penwhale | ^{Blast him / Follow his steps} 13:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also debating sending some of the other, non-film articles to AfD. Any battle articles we have that aren't featured in the films are unlikely to have out-of-universe info. — Deckill er 14:41, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as fancruft. Useight 00:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to its being completely composed of duplicated texts, fancruft, and covered by a category. --EMS | Talk 23:44, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While this does indeed deserve to be tossed, I feel I should point out to the posters above that essays are not policy. As such saying something deserves to be deleted for being listcruft or fancruft is not a valid policy argument. Jtrainor 14:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. The two previous AfDs were to delete, so I would suggest in the future to use the template {{db-repost}} instead of resorting to AfD again. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 14:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
