Thief/Legends (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)
The term thief is not unique in the GFFA, except for a specialization like slicer, which has its own article. It would better serve as a redirect to Category:Thieves, like how Criminal redirects to Category:Criminals.
Delete

Keep as a redirect

Keep
- Per Cav's reasoning. Just because there wasn't an existing Keep option doesn't mean there shouldn't be. If this is a Trash compactor discussion, then obviously there should be such a choice, and I've just added it, as I agree with his reasoning. Otherwise, the trash compactor is essentially saying that the article is going away no matter what, and I don't believe that's how the process works.

Discussion
Personally, I disagree with the options presented here, as there is currently no option to keep the article itself, which is the option I prefer. Both offered options are to delete, or to redirect, which is basically delete. A keep option should be presented. - Sir Cavalier of One

- Okay, now I'm at an actual computer rather than a mobile device, I will lay out reasoning to keep this article. While the concept of thief is not unique to the SW universe, the methods employed, either in terms of equipment or process, are. There are literally dozens of references to thieves, and I'm finding more every time I source-drag a WEG book. With judicious work, this article could be expanded into a full, comprehensive article on the methodology of thieves in the GFFA, and I know it can be. Just because it is a stub with little information at present is no reason to delete or redirect when work can be done to make the article unique. - Sir Cavalier of One(Squadron channel) 00:04, September 5, 2015 (UTC)
