Leia's Metal Bikini (history - links - logs - delete - protect)

This page a) does not fit the notability requirements and b) should not be kept even if it did. Its only reference in an official source might be a Hyperspace.com article, which is apparently unavailable; meanwhile, the site does not really have "mainstream recognition." Even if it met either of the notability requirements, this site should not be a place for people to find ways to look at women in bikinis. It's just gross.

  5. Just to be clear to anyone confused, this is to delete a page for a fansite, not the costume from ROTJ, which is a different set of worms. RattsT (talk) 01:30, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

  19. Agreed. Could possibly put a pithy reference to the Slave Leia costume article. Andykatib 08:54, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

  22. Due to the capitalisation, I don't think this is a viable search term so a redirect seems redundant. And yeah, for the article itself, bleh. Tommy-Macaroni 10:34, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

  24. The article should be deleted, of course, and if we're going to have a redirect, it should be at "Leia's metal bikini" instead of this title. Even then, I don't think a redirect is necessary since that's a conjectural title, but I suppose it's a common enough term, so eh. Anyway, that's a different issue.

Keep

Comments

  • Is there a reason why the first option here is just "Delete" instead of "Redirect to Slave Leia costume"? Imperators II(Talk) 08:15, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Because nothing is being merged. VergenceScatter (talk) 08:21, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
      • It has nothing to do with merging. Right now, not allowing for "Leia's Metal Bikini" to exist as a redirect means the reader is denied one possible, plausibly relevant way to reach the other article via the search function. Imperators II(Talk) 08:28, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
        • To be honest I don't really agree that it's a necessary redirect for us to keep. VergenceScatter (talk) 08:33, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
          • I'm sorry, what exactly are your grounds for judging the redirect to be not "necessary"? I'm perfectly fine with the community deciding (via TC) it does not want to host the article for the costume, but until that happens, not allowing for a redirect from a plausible search synonym to exist is... what? Inattentiveness? A deliberate attempt to prevent the reader from discovering a specific article? My ultimate concern here is for what I hope is inattentiveness here (because the alternative is really not encyclopedic) to not cause a precedent for deleting legitimate redirect terms.

            • I feel that keeping this title would be a part of our site's history of sexualizing women in a way that is unfair. I know that bikinis are a real item of clothing, but I don't want to keep relics of a sexist path on the site. VergenceScatter (talk) 08:53, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
              • I agree with Imperators. Since the term "metal bikini" appeared in canon (such as in Star Wars Galaxies), there should be a redirect to the dancer costume.Hk 47 (talk) 19:33, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
