So here we have two more household-y / domestic entries that again seem nothing more dictionary entries. There's nothing especially out-of-the-ordinary about them, nor anything that puts them radically out-of-place in the Star Wars universe, and the entries themselves are nothing more than basic descriptions. I'm putting them together because the entries themselves are basically carbon copies of each other.

Note - the deletion of "sink" would also affect any possible creation of Sink/Canon, which appears in Servants of the Empire: Imperial Justice. ProfessorTofty (talk) 05:22, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

Keep

I'm voting keep on this until someone actually checks the sources and confirms that sink is a useless article, since I doubt the people voting to delete even read the discussion below... Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:40, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

  • Did you actually check all the sources for unique information? Faucet is one thing, but I can see sink potentially having some sort of Star Wars-y application. You shouldn't just create a TC as a knee-jerk reaction to a dubious article you come across. And you copy-and-paste failed the category. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:25, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
    • I guess you're right, it is rather knee-jerk. I'll see about the checking the sources, so perhaps we can just ice it for now. I'll try to get it done quickly, but that may vary depending on availability / access. Category problem fixed - I thought I had corrected that, but I guess I got distracted.

      • For both:
  • Darth Maul Saboteur: "Water dripped from a sink faucet that could have easily been repaired."
  • Star Wars 3: In a bathroom Han and Chewie hide in for cover there was a typical sink with a faucet, seen from the top.
  • I Have a Bad Feeling About This: Describes a blueprint that was going to be used for a practical sink with a faucet in the Holiday Special.
For Sink:
  • Yoda Dark Rendezvous: Evan Chan "studied himself in the mirror over the sink.", "put his head in his hands and leaned forward over the hard white glare of the sink.", "he took out his flask of SomnaSkol Red and emptied every drop into the sink, swearing he would never touch the stuff again."
  • Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of Thonboka: "Now all he desired was a refreshing wash, which he attended to at the small sink (set into the shower stall along with the toilet) with its trickle of lukewarm recycled water. An ironic expression greeted him in the mirror above the sink." Again, just another bathroom that has a shower, sink, and a toilet.
  • Legacy of the Force: Exile: Wedge went into a public fresher and "His package was waiting for him where it was supposed to be, affixed out of sight under the sink. He pulled the anonymous gray bag free and opened it on the sink counter."
  • Star Wars Campaign Pack: There is a floorplan of a ship, and one room is labeled as a washroom. Trip391 (talk) 03:41, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
  • I applaud your research skills. And, thanks. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:25, July 13, 2015 (UTC)
