Unidentified Tetan carbonite smelters
- Unidentified Tetan carbonite smelter (Krath coup) (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
- Unidentified Tetan carbonite smelter (Mandalorian attack) (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
- Unidentified Tetan carbonite smelter (Carbonite Guild surrender) (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
After consulting with a few AC members (since two of these articles are GANs and another is a CA), I'm nominating these three Tetan carbonite smelters for deletion because they're not significant enough to warrant individual articles. There is very little to say for either of them, and all of the information within these three articles can and should instead just be covered under the Tetan carbonite smelter article. It would be one thing if they had individual names, but they don't. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:22, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

In my opinion, the (Mandalorian attack) and especially the (Krath coup) are definitely significant enough to have their own articles. More significant information is available about these space stations than about several other status articles, like, for example, the moons of Otavon XII. They are represented both visually and audially, and are the location of two important events and dramatic action. Should the existence of a canonical name really be the main criterion in determining the significance of an article's topic? Also, since the articles are of GA length, I do believe there is more than "very little" to say about them.Imperators II(Talk) 07:02, August 7, 2015 (UTC)- The point of contention here is not so much the amount of information in the articles or whether the lack of a canon name should determine significance. Rather, the question is whether there is any purpose for these articles to exist. You could have easily written the Tetan carbonite smelter article and incorporated the information from all three of these articles into a single page. Instead, this information has needlessly been divided into three separate pages for no discernible reason that I can see other than to have three more status articles. When someone does eventually go to write Tetan carbonite smelter, we're going to invariably end up with four pages that say the exact same thing. In the absence of canon names for these three subjects, which would require individual articles, there is no purpose or advantage for dividing and repeating this information across four pages when it can more efficiently be covered in one.

- Thanks for clearing that up for me. I guess you're right, although for some reason I still have a feeling that three different space stations should have three separate articles, with the Tetan carbonite smelter page perhaps using the {{Main}} template. Oh well. Imperators II(Talk) 09:22, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
