Unidentified Blue Squadron pilot 2 (history - links - logs - delete - protect)

There is nothing in the film that establishes that the pilot of this ship is not one of the pilots shown in the Visual Dictionary or seen earlier in the film. There are a number of pilots, including Farns Monsbee and Calum Gram who are not seen after this ship is destroyed and so could be "Unidentified Blue Squadron pilot 2." The existence of this article implies that there is another separate pilot alongside all of the other articles for Blue Squadron pilots we have articles for; however, this is an assumption we cannot make and also extends to us making an assumption about the number of pilots and vehicles in the squadron. For example on the Blue Squadron page currently lists 13 individuals as members at the time of the Battle of Scarif, but for all we know there was only 12. As such this page should be deleted and the information simply added to the Blue Squadron, Battle of Scarif and other relevant articles. Ayrehead02 (talk) 19:02, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

  4. Ayre brings up a good point about all 12 pilots being spoken for, so I'm going to go ahead and say we can remove this guy. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 20:26, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

  6. Per Corellian Premier. This is the same rationale we used to delete similar Battle of Hoth Rogue Group pilot articles in the past. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:37, January 2, 2018 (UTC)

Comments

Firstly, I fixed some grammatical errors in your paragraph if that's okay with you. Secondly, the nominator's reasons seem valid to me. At least for all the other Blue Squadron pages, we actually saw their faces. Not to mention that we didn't see any Blue Squadron pilots' faces after the scene of the pilots impacting the shield (not counting General Merrick's), so it is very plausible. -- Banana32 I-find-this-atire-appealing 19:36, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

  • Thanks for waying in, Banana. Just to let you know for future reference, you shouldn't edit other users' comments in the forums, trash compactor, talk pages or anywhere similar, even if you spot an error. I know your edits were entirely well intentioned, but if you spot important stuff that should be fixed in future then just let the user who posted the message know or mention it in your own comment. It probably isn't worth mentioning in cases of grammar or spelling though. Ayrehead02 (talk) 19:10, January 2, 2018 (UTC)
