Imperial Knight lightsaber (talk - history - links - logs)

I really can't see anything special about these lightsabers. There isn't any more to my argument, really. The information contained therein, if not already present, can be merged into Imperial Knights and lightsaber. Graestan(Talk) 05:36, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

  1. Agreed. It is a unique model, but I put everything we know about it into the Armor & equipment section of the Imperial Knight article a year and a half ago. Menkooroo 05:42, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Keep

  1. This is possibly the only lightsaber article I would keep. We don't redirect the E11 blaster rifle to a subsection of the stormtrooper article. An item that is either mass-produced or hand-built in large numbers to a single specification should get an article. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 14:01, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Partially per Culator. Imperial Knight lightsabers are not all unique like the individual lightsabers; in fact, they are all exactly the same—but that's just it, the Imperial Knight lightsabers as a whole are a unique design of lightsaber. And we have other pages for such unique designs, such as curved-hilt lightsaber, crossguard lightsaber, double-bladed lightsaber, etc. But even further, these styles are complete generalizations—the individual sabers themselves can still vary greatly in design; for example Maul's double-sided lightsaber was very different from Zannah's short-bladed double-sided saber. The thing is, IK lightsabers almost never vary, and when they do, it is in the blade's color, not the hilt design. They are, in the most literal sense possible, their own unique design/style of lightsaber, and therefore, more than any of the other style designs, I believe they deserve their own article.

  3. Strong keep per Culator. This is essentially a weapon model, not an individual character's personal weapon. —Master Jonathan New Jedi Order (Jedi Council Chambers) 19:51, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
  4. I also say keep on this one. — Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 22:15, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

  6. Per above. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 23:53, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
  7. Its own model of lightsaber, per Culator and Jujiggum. - Lord Hydronium
  8. Culator's point. Graestan(Talk) 04:24, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
