List of Jedi (talk - history - links - logs)
Continuing jSarek's crusade against unneeded lists: We already have several categories devoted to Jedi that are most helpfully organized by era and whatnot. As another user said in the List of Lists TC, there is nothing in a list page that cannot be better served by use of a category.--Goodwood (Alliance Intelligence) 22:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

- "Note that this list can be somewhat prone to fanon." Ought to die just for that. jSarek 03:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm... althogh I hate to admit it, this list is probably not necessary anymore. KEJ 12:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Along with image galleries, I am of the opinion that for a large part lists should be converted into categories. Graestan(Talk) 13:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

- Who is seriously going to look at this through this monstrosity to find the Jedi they're interested in? It's useless. Also, too prone too fanon as JSarek said. -Thunderforge 00:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep
- Because the categories don't give a full list, just loads of smaller lists. So I'd rather another way around this than all out deletion. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 07:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Per Ackbar. Also, since any page can be subject to fanon by the very nature of a wiki (i.e. anyone can edit n article) jSarek's point is invalid. Although I believe that the layout could be improved via a table refering to era, rank etc. Darth Xadún(Consult the Holocron) 10:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

- Always improvable, and I like having a master list by last name. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:31, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Make into redirect to Jedi
- Just to keep the history. Don't think we need lists any more at this point. —Silly Dan (talk) 03:00, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Comments
- For those worried about redlinks, there are only two of them; the last ("Trilinae Untaire") only appears on this list and on pages on other sites based on this list, and is therefore almost certainly fanon. The other ("Gidd") I've been unable to verify either way, but without a source being listed, no one will be able to use this list to write an article on him or her anyway. jSarek 03:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
