This redirect does not seem to have any purpose. No pages link to it and it seems arbitrary.Beastmatser (talk) 12:31, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Delete

Keep

  1. There is absolutely no reason to delete a valid search redirect, particularly one that is used for a highly famous film line. Imperators II(Talk) 12:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

  3. Per Imp. We could stand to keep a lot of our redirects imo. Also per OOM. NBDani TeamFireballLogo-Collider(they/them)Yeager's Repairs 12:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
  4. There's not really any harm in having redirects, and per Imp, it is a valid search term. Zed42 Wolfpack emblem (talk) 12:50, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
  5. Per Imp. Also, it's a valid redirect given the quote's significance in pop culture. Bonzane10 Sabine Starbird black belt in card-jitsu 13:09, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
  6. Is that the first time we hold a TC over a redirect? NanoLuukeCloning Facility 13:16, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

  11. I think it might be worth it's own article, akin to Hello there, given its popularity. Always good to get community consensus, though, so I appreciate the TC! Jedi Order SHCosmos (He/Him ✦ Talk) 15:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

  13. Per SHCosmos, I'd honestly be amenable to discussing the merits of having a dedicated OOU page for one of the most iconic lines in certainly Star Wars and perhaps all of the greater Western cinematic canon and general American pop culture Fan26 (Talk) 17:31, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
  14. Of course no pages link to it. I am your father is not an article. It's a redirect page, meaning that it exists solely to turn valid search terms — including one of the most iconic lines in film history — to the most relevant article that does exist. Articles that link to the redirect page ought to be changed to link to the article it redirects to, and given how vigilant Wookieepedia is in ensuring quality, it is a good thing that this is the case.
