Oda Ihe (talk - history - links - logs)

This NPC is just one of many randomly generated characters in SWG. StarsiderSWG 16:40, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Delete

  1. Based on the helpful anon below, this character apparently does not meet criteria for canon, and unless we want to encourage the creation of hundreds of randomly generated NPCs that have no significance save that they take up space in a video game, we should probably delete this and any other such articles.

  2. Content on Wookieepedia is meant to be verifiable. If this is a randomly generated character that appeared just once then there is no guarantee that the character will appear again, so we have no way of confirming the authenticity of this article. Anyone can make up a name, find a picture of a generic Galaxies character and create an article. --Jinzler 16:20, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
  3. Impossible to verify = kill the article. Master Jonathan (Council Chambers) Saturday, March 5, 2011, 02:53 UTC
  4. I was waiting till I could accurately explain why I would vote delete, but the anon did it for me. Kill it. OLIOSTER (talk) 03:09, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
  5. Per above, and Graestan's sentiments below. NAYAYEN—it appears to be a frammistat 21:54, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
  6. If we are accepting randomly generated names, why stop at Galaxies? KOTOR and KOTORII have more than a hundred possible combinations of randomly generated player names. Some of these SWG characters change names, species, and gender three times a week. SinisterSamurai 16:20, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
  7. With the new reasoning and explanation, kill it. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 16:32, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
  8. Vote to kill, simply because it is randomly generated and non-canon StarsiderSWG 00:50, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

  10. ...well, then. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 03:29, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
  11. Per what I said on the other nearly identical TC. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 18:24, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
  12. Well, if it's randomly generated and thus non-canon material… Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 18:29, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Keep

  1. It's a canon character. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 21:09, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
    Name, photo, affiliation—i'd say it's a keeper. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 04:32, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
    Per NaruHina. Any TC started where the nominator doesn't vote should be CSD'd. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 04:34, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
    Per JMAS. Master Jonathan (Council Chambers) Sunday, February 27, 2011, 19:20 UTC

  3. Although I disagree with the comments. Sometimes you just make a TC because you want the article's existence considered, but don't feel strongly enough to vote until more knowledgeable people weigh in. Graestan(Talk) 15:39, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

Just to be clear, is this an NPC that appears on every server/galaxy? That's Leland Chee's criterion for character canonicity vis-à-vis Galaxies. The Architect DD97Which bear is best? 04:22, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Can't find this NPC on any of the big SWG fansites and databases. All planets in this game are populated by randomly generated NPCs. Each time the servers are restarted (3 times a week) and also when a city/area/instance is visited for the first time, the servers generate new random NPCs, with random race, gender and look. And for the first couple of years, they also had randomly generated names (not specifically chosen by the devs for this particular NPC, but randomly generated by the game from a large range of possible name parts). They changed that a couple of years ago, so nowadays most characters have generic names ("a Rebel SpecForce soldier", "an Imperial Stormtrooper", etc...), but there are still some places where such NPCs with randomly generated names are still spawned. But they certainly don't appear on every server and weren't specifically given this name by the devs. --77.23.215.24 22:08, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
