List of long lived sentient species (talk - history - links - logs)

Come on. This is likely rife with fanon, plus it's a list. "Long lived" is a relative term, and not a ton of species are given exact figures in terms of their lifespan. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 18:17, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

4. Extremely un-encyclopedic. What even defines a long-lived species? By Human standards? And per Borsk Fey'lya, what makes the Human species the standard? Humans might be long-lived relative to other short-lived species. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

   If some clear criteria (say, 150+ years) were applied, would that improve matters? —Silly Dan _(talk) 00:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

   I believe that would be appropriate for including this information elsewhere, yes. It should probably be noted that this seems to be entirely relative to Humans, though, which I think needs to be remedied somehow. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:57, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

5. Interesting list, and there are often questions about this sort of thing in the KB. It might be worth keeping the list in some form, either on a KB page or subpage to refer people to, but an article it should not be. -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 18:58, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
   • I think it would probably be best to just create a specific section for this on the species article. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:04, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
     • Yeah, that's a good idea. -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 19:12, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
6. Ridiculously subjective. Havac 23:45, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
7. Per my sig, but more so than normal because of the subjectiveness (is that a word?) of this list. Doluk^{Furthermore I believe that lists must be destroyed.} 03:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
8. Na na na na na na na de-le-ting! -- Darth Culator ^(Talk) 05:00, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
9. Per Culator. Green Tentacle ^(Talk) 18:58, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
10. As subjective as this subject is, I'm surprised this article lasted as long as it has. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 22:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

13. A list of species by lifespan might be useful, but I agree that this article isn't kosher. ~ SavageBob 23:36, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
