Drill-spike (talk - history - links - logs)

This article is merely a piece of a ship, and although it shares similar characteristics with the Droch boarding craft, there is no reason for this article to exist becasue of an episode guide calling it a "Drill-spike". If we creat articles for every part of a ship that looks similar with another, we will end up with numerous unnecessary articles. A simple mention in the Trident-class assault ship saying it had a drill similar to the Droch would do.

Keep

It should be kept because it is the main part of the assault ship, and also appears on the Droch-class boarding craft.-user:mynock hunter (Vote struck, reason: Per policy: Fewer than 50 mainspace edits -- Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:19, June 12, 2012 (UTC))
  1. It's a unique device, and although it's part of something larger, I don't see a reason to delete the technology article in this case. CC7567 (talk) 21:44, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
    • I could see a reason keeping it if the article stated it was on both the Droch and Trident and was used as a more general term of that mechanisim, not just the one on the Trident. 501st dogma(talk) 21:51, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
  2. The article sucks, but it has a legitimate reason to exist. Otherwise we may as well delete hangar, airlock, grapple arm, cofferdam, landing claw... -- Darth Culator (Talk) 22:08, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

  6. Agreed. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 16:39, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
  7. Yep. I agree with all of this and see no reason why the article is up for deletion or merging. We just need to clean the article up, is all. --The Lampshade... (talk) 16:52, June 11, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Comments

For the record, the drill-spike mention isn't unique to the episode guide (if any); it was canonized as a specific device in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Incredible Vehicles. CC7567 (talk) 21:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

  • Was it specificaly stated that it was only on the Trident though? 501st dogma(talk) 22:02, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
    • Yes, it was only for the Trident. Any assumptions that it's the same device as the one on the Droch might be speculation. CC7567 (talk) 22:06, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
      • Ok, fine by me. 501st dogma(talk) 22:09, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
