Blaster rack (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)

According to the cited card, it's...just a blaster rack. AFAICT there's nothing remotely notable about it. Fan26 (Talk) 14:58, March 20, 2019 (UTC)

  1. Mundaneness is not a reason to delete an article. This concept exists in-universe, and it's Wookieepedia's mission to document and present the information presented on this SWCCG card, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The very fact that a SWCCG card was even devoted to it makes it particularly notable, if for no other reason than it's that much more likely to be searched for.

Tope is right that mundaneness is not grounds for deletion. However, policy is. Technically, "blaster" is not a dictionary term, but we already document blaster, and combining it with the word "rack" is just a basic English construction using a dictionary term, requiring no extra documentation from us. (It would be helpful if the dictionary policy were amended to clarify situations such as this—which could also address all the "So-and-so's lightsaber" articles, which are also just elementary English combinations of terms we already document.) That Decipher made a different decision is irrelevant: they had their own policies on what to document, and we have ours. We should follow ours. Asithol (talk) 22:11, March 25, 2019 (UTC)
