List of -ooine planets (talk - history - links - logs)

Again, another needless planet sub-list. The List of planets should suffice. Darth Xadún(Consult the Holocron) 11:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep

  1. I think this and its sister list have merit. There are a lot of planets ending in this suffix, enough that it appears to be more than mere coincidence. While it's fanwankery to suggest WHY such a large number of planets with this ending exist, it's not fanwankery to collect them all in one place, and such information is useful for the curious. Since I suspect a category would be going to far, we ought to keep the list. jSarek 21:59, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
  2. This is a list of very limited scope (unlike a list of Humans) which would not be appropriate as a category. —Silly Dan (talk) 22:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
  3. Per JSarek. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 22:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
  4. Per Dan and Sarek. Unit 8311 10:18, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
  5. Agree. KEJ 17:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
  6. Useful, and there is no reason to delete, per jSarek. -LtNOWIS 03:01, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
  7. This is pretty much what lists are for. Collecting relevant information on something that's not really appropriate for a category (Category:Chalmun's Cantina patrons, I'm looking right at you with murder in my eyes). Havac 03:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
  8. There's a reason they all share this bond. If only someone worked on one. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:55, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

  11. Per myself in the -aan one. I didn't bother to copy and paste. :p Gonk (Gonk!) 15:42, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Create Category:-ooine planets

  1. Per an idea fielded on this page's sister page, categories would be somewhat more useful and appropriate. A good middle ground. Graestan(Talk) 02:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments

Until and unless it's explicitly stated in a licensed source, any in-universe connection implied would be fanon. Graestan(Talk) 12:47, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

  • So we'd have to write them as OOU articles ("Here are some planets with similar names. Note we are not trying to explain the connection, or to claim there is one. Or to claim there isn't one.") —Silly Dan (talk) 13:02, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
    • We wouldn't need to be OOU. The similar names are a canon part of the Star Wars universe, whether or not there is any reason for that similarity. For example, Tor is an entirely in-universe disambiguation page, but it doesn't claim any shared etymology. -LtNOWIS 03:01, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
