TCW Episode Guide: Ambush (talk - history - links - logs)
I propose to eliminate not only this page, but everything listed in the Category:Clone Wars Episode guides as well. The reason is: we do not have any other pages about StarWars.com articles. We do have pages about articles from Magazines (Insider and Gamer for example) and from Wizards site (actually the necessity of the latter eludes me as well), but all Starwars.com-related matherial is listed in Sources and References using either {{SW}} or {{db}} templates. There is really no need to have 100+ articles that all consists of one simple sentence and provides no new info at all.Mauser 13:03, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

- I agree. I don't think it's necessary to have an article for each of these, nor do I think we need one central article that encompasses all episodes. Linking to these articles on SW.com in article source lists/External links sections suffices. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:51, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- Well...I don't like this article or the one they're trying to merge into...so...delete.—Darthtyler (Talk) 00:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

22:06, 5 November 2008 (UTC) - We really should have some sort of article on everything we cite. If nothing else, so there's some reference point when SW.com does its next site redesign and they all vanish in a puff of smoke. jSarek 23:00, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- So long as they stay up there. I have actually gotten information not contained in the episodes out of them. Graestan(Talk) 04:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Actually now, having found the Visual Guides article, I think we should indeed have one central article about the feature itself. Mauser 08:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

- Per my comment before on one of the existing ep. guide pages. —Xwing328(Talk) 20:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Given the fact that you now need to use archive.org to find anything useful that used to be on TOS, I think we're obligated to catalog this feature somewhere. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 00:16, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
- Merge, create redirects for every episode, and create a new article for the second season. —Silly Dan (talk) 22:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

- I think we should have some info on those Guides as they are related to Star Wars, but I agree with Mauser. We don't need a separate article on each of the guides.QuiGonJinnThe ability to speak does not make you intelligent.
15:02, 5 November 2008 (UTC) - I assume that the merge would include the other pages right? You never can tell around here :-] Dr.Kermit(Babble here) 02:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Haha, yeah, it will. The whole point is not to have an article for every single page on the official site. Graestan(Talk) 03:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, The Clone Wars Episode Guides should cover it all. Mauser 07:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

With 19 supporting (as opposed to two users against the idea) and thirteen days since its start, I think it's time to close. Considering the dead zone this thread is becoming, I can't see eighteen users voting against within only a handful handful of hours. // ~mikah~ 01:45, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, as you can see, I created the requested article. Now please review it, modify where necessary, and since everyone agrees, all current episode guide articles, Category:Clone Wars Episode guides, and the links to them in Template:The Clone Wars episodes must die. You don't even have to redirect each episode guides to the new page, because it seems that all links are provided by the template alone. Mauser 22:24, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Merge done, articles now redirect to a single page. You can close this now. Mauser 14:06, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
