More battle droids

These battle droid articles are either exactly the same, one liner dialogue characters, but they're non notable, extras. Per the other TCs started by Cade, this is getting ridiculous. JangFett (Talk) 20:23, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

Keep

  1. As far as I can see, all of these droids except for 9, 13, and 14, have unique, distinguishable dialogue, which, in my opinion, as I detailed here, merits notability. They're more unique than Unidentified stormtrooper 407 in a crowd of 1000. We justifiably have more than a few articles very similar to these on our wiki. I believe I would support deleting the three exceptions, however. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:40, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
  2. I agree with Toprawa. While I have never gone over Unidentified so-and-so 4, I believe that if the character has specific dialogue or is alone and not in a group of similar people, or stands out in some other way, it deserves a place. While I find the constant battle droids articles from User:TheMasterMind to be a little annoying, I believe his hard work should be kept. --The Lampshade... (talk) 21:27, July 12, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
  3. General rule of thumb: if an article is substantively more than "[Article title] is a [thing that it is]. *[Source]", it has as much right to be there as undisputed articles that are no more than as just described (see: numerous planets, foods, etc).

  5. I don't like having this many battle droid pages either, but this decision should be based on policy, not personal preference. CC7567 (talk) 01:09, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Reject batch nomination without prejudice

  1. I tried to formulate a vote that would give my opinion on these and found myself overwhelmed by the large number of articles nominated together. Some of them should be kept IMO, while others should be deleted, and still others are questionable. The bottom line is that each of these articles is unique and should be discussed individually in separate TCs where they can be judged on their own merits. —MJ— Training Room Thursday, July 12, 2012, 21:04 UTC
