So looking back at Solo: A Star Wars Story, during the Kessel Run Scene, Han does an amazing spin manuver on a Tie fighter, and it has also appeared in Star Wars: Rebels, when Hera pulled the move off. So i propose the creation of the Article called the "Solo Spin". User:Elijah Palmer talk March 25, 2023 14:32 (EST)

- Never identified as such, and doesn't appear to be notable. Rsand 30 (talk) 20:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

- At Wookieepedia, we only create articles based on official sources. We do not make up our canon. If a source were to name it "Solo Spin," we would create the page under that name; otherwise, we won't. It's not a matter of consensus that can be discussed with a CT. Cheers! LucaRoR
(Talk) 19:05, 25 March 2023 (UTC) - Articles such as the Tech Turn and Backwards tailslide are explicitly named and described starship maneuvers, and we only create articles for maneuvers when they meet that criteria. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 19:10, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- Elijah, the Consensus track is meant primarily for organizing votes on various aspects of the functioning of Wookieepedia and how its articles are written and presented. On the other hand, what it's typically not used for is questions such as this one, which I'm choosing to interpret as a "does this subject that is featured in Star Wars source(s) deserve a Wookieepedia article?" type of question. Usually, WP:BOLD, or the "be bold in creating or editing pages" principle, applies, or in cases where you're just not sure, you can always ask other editors, either on the site or on the Wook's Discord server. A Wookieepedia process that does exist, however, is the Trash compactor, wherein discussions and votes are held on whether or not to remove articles that are thought to be unnecessary.
- To slightly correct the above comments, we do have articles on vehicle maneuvers that have not been provided with official names by SW sources: Unidentified maneuver. So theoretically, even if "Solo Spin" is not an actual name for the maneuver that's been used anywhere in an SW medium, we can still have a discussion on whether the maneuver is deserving of an article. For such a discussion to happen, however, you should provide much more detail on where precisely does the maneuver appear and why do you think it's notable enough for an article of its own - as opposed to, say, just covering it on pages for the relevant starships and pilots and events.
