Race course (talk - history - links - logs)

Um... really? This article is unnecessary. Any reader should know what a "race course" is; it's a freaking English term. What little unique-to-Star-Wars information this contains more properly belongs in the articles on the individual courses, and those courses vary so widely from one sport to another that this article is unmanageably broad. —MJ— Holocomm 20:26, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

  8. There doesn't seem to be anything special about SW race courses in its general sense. And obviously, we will cover the pertinent information in the various course articles.—Cal JediInfinite Empire (Personal Comm Channel) 19:53, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

I think it can be managed, broadness aside. It'll just be a lot of work. I felt it was relevant to use in pilot articles as an extra link and that someone may be looking for something similar to what's on the page now. It'd take extensive looking around to complete at all, and maybe it shouldn't be treated as an article until it can be cleaned up further. Perhaps... I could move it to something like User:Clonehunter/Race course, and just keep it as a pet project until it's up to standard? Or something along those lines perhaps? --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 23:01, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

  • Don't move the actual page but you can just copy everything to your subpage. Fe Nite (talk) 23:52, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
  • Yes, you're welcome to copy it to your userspace to work on. However, be aware that if this thread produces a consensus to delete, you will need to go to the CT and obtain a new consensus overriding this thread before you can recreate the page. Having a well-written article and good arguments for why it should exist will help you in that regard. —MJ— Council Chambers 00:25, October 24, 2013 (UTC)
