List of starships (talk - history - links - logs)

In keeping with the purging of lists in favor of categories, let's look at the List of starships. Same comments as other lists, really, but this list in particular seems to be badly out of date as far as class names for types of ships etc. DolukTalk 20:37, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Delete

  1. Per above. DolukTalk 20:37, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
  2. Indeed. We already have categories for most, if not all, of these, and if we don't, we can create them. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
  3. Keeping it around for the redlinks is a good idea, true, but they're probably linked elsewhere as well. List purge is therefore of higher priority.--Goodwood Redstarbird (Alliance Intelligence) 22:52, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

  5. How many lists about the same stuff do we even need? Zero, in my opinion. VT-16 17:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
  6. Check those redlinks again. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 17:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

  9. This page has always bothered me simply because it has a status. The Millennium Falcon is operational under Han Solo as of WHEN? Haven't seen it in Legacy, and he's probably dead by then, and all pages are supposed to be in past tense. Not that I need to try to sway any voters with my logic at this point. But I feel like this is just one more valuable justification for deletion for this particular page that outweighs the (unsourced) redlinks. Wildyoda 21:19, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
  10. Wildyoda has swayed me, whether he intended to or not. ;-) The only reason I was hesitant was that the list has a bit more information than a category, but as he points out, that information is essentially useless. jSarek 23:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
    I can be very persuasive. Waves hand "This is the voting option you're looking for." Wildyoda 04:27, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
  11. Great job, Culator! Mauser 04:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Keep

  1. At least for as long as the redlinks are being checked. Mauser 22:32, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
    • You're certainly entitled to vote how you please, but I think we kind of decided here that unsourced redlinks are not a good enough reason to keep a list page. I encourage you to create a list of redlinks in the Comments section below per that TC, so at least the redlinks can be maintained someplace. Other than that, I think the list page should go as the other did. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:06, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments

Okay, here's the redlinks:

A little too many, don't you think? Mauser 23:53, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Not necessarily. If they were sourced, I'd be inclined to give them a little more credence. Like I said in the previous TC, keeping something because it might be canon is not so good. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:41, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
  • It's nice to keep the redlinked ones and search for their sources, but some of those names sound like fanon that got put onto the list. Even more reason to drop the page, imo. VT-16 17:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
  • So... yeah. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 17:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
