Callista trilogy (talk - history - links - logs)

This is entirely original research. There is no evidence that these books are considered to be formally linked by the publisher or Lucasfilm. Many Star Wars media are connected in plot, characters, etc. without being considered part of a metaseries. Graestan(Talk) 16:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep

  1. Keep. Is a term used fairly often in fandom. The OR attempting to justify the grouping can be deleted, though; since the grouping exists, there's no need to justify it. jSarek 18:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
    • This site is beginning to appear as though it is entirely subject to the whims of other fansites and of fans in general. My TC of this is an attempt to step away from that slippery slope. Graestan(Talk) 13:34, 13 February 2008 (EST)
      • And I oppose that stepping away. I think we need to be a source for all things Star Wars, including common and useful fan terms. I'm sick and tired of how many things we keep trying to splinter away from us - first games, then merch, now this. jSarek 16:26, 13 February 2008 (EST)
        • Let me just point out that games have not been "splintered away" from Wookieepedia. --Imperialles 21:32, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
          • But plenty of stuff related to Games has, as the RPG template kerflaffle demonstrates. jSarek 21:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  2. The Cargo Bay has an entry titled simply "Callista," but it is given the same consideration as other trilogies like the Thrawn Trilogy. Keep. Din's Fire 997 19:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Change to disambig page with a bit of explanation

  1. See above. I envision something like "The Callista trilogy is an unofficial name sometimes applied to these books: Children of the Jedi, Darksaber, and Planet of Twilight. Basically just keep the first sentence of the article and format it like a disambig page. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 23:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
  2. Enough with the terminating. We aren't Skynet. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  3. Support. This is essentially what I think I had in mind with my "keep" vote. jSarek 10:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  4. Now this is what TC is for. I wholeheartedly support the notion. As it stood, the article was basically off-the-top-of-the-head OR, and I didn't care for it, but as jSarek pointed out, the name is fairly common (though I'd never heard it, therefore the TC), and thus it might be typed into the search field, this would be somewhat more appropriate. Graestan(Talk) 15:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  5. I was hesitant to vote on this until now. Seems like an ideal compromise. Gonk (Gonk!) 15:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  6. I can agree to this solution. - JMAS 16:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

  8. This is for the best...but should we also delete the Callista Trilogy category as well?--Goodwood Redstarbird (Alliance Intelligence) 05:25, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
  9. But delete the category. - breathesgelatinTalk 07:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
  10. What they said, because it makes good sense. Greyman(Talk) 03:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  11. Like above. Disambig and delete the cat. —Xwing328(Talk) 18:56, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
