  1. I probably would have voted to delete this if Luke's quote was the only mention of this condition in canon, but the character Boom is a full-blown pyromaniac. It's a legitimate in-universe mental condition, and I believe it has enough information to warrant an article. Although I agree that Wookieepedia is not a dictionary, I don't believe that's a catch-all phrase to justify deleting everything and anything that has a corresponding real-world dictionary definition, which I've argued previously in similar instances.

    1. Unless there is an actual in-universe description of pyromania it seems speculative to create a definition around it. If you were to replace pyromania with a made up term, say "Blastomania" would this article still have enough information to warrant it's creation? If yes, then all the real-world stuff should be removed and in Behind the scenes you can mention the real world disease and have the external link to the wiki.--praguepride (Talk) 17:57, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
