Anakin Skywalker’s N-1 starfighter (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
Hey guys! So me and User:Cade Calrayn are having a bit of a disagreement over the naming of Anakin Skywalker’s N-1 starfighter. Since the Star Wars: Micro Galaxy Squadron toyline had officially named it as "Anakin's Naboo N-1 Starfighter" per Amazon:
STAR WARS Micro Galaxy Squadron Combo Pack Bundle with 1 Series Blind Box (Anakin's Naboo N-1 Starfighter Episode 1 Collection) on Amazon.com (backup link), I decided to move it based on how it was called on the official packaging. But Cade redirected it saying that Amazon wasn't a vaild source even though the site has been used to identify canon subjects before. But I want to hear from you, should we redirect it or keep it?

- Elijah, this isn't how the TC works. The page itself isn't subject for deletion, it's an issue that needs discussion on the talk page. The Trash Compactor is for deleting pages, and talk pages are open to all participants; you don't need to escalate to the TC because someone disagrees with you. Cade

- Regardless, I stand by my original reasoning, that "Anakin's Naboo N-1 Starfighter" [sic] is not the actual in-universe name of the ship, it's the marketing description for a children's toy. It's not a proper name, and it's certainly not in-universe in any way. Cade Calrayn 03:32, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Per Cade. Marketing names can certainly sometimes help resolve conjectural titles (see Spider Tank) but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the official in-universe name. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 07:34, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

- I'm a little confused. WP:CANON states that action figures and toys, "including packaging descriptions" count as sources of canonical information when writing articles. How is this any different from non-conjectural names such as Unidentified moon, Adi Gallia's Jedi Starfighter others? ThrawnChiss7

- I would argue that this is a description, not an actual title, but you do bring up a good point that that policy point should probably be amended, as this is clearly not an in-universe name. Cade Calrayn 03:06, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- But you would consider "unidentified moon" and "Adi Gallia's Jedi Starfighter", along with similar articles IU names? ThrawnChiss7 Assembly Cupola 15:51, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
