Unidentified stormtrooper (Battle of Maridun) (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)

The this trooper just says "ugh" and is subsequently killed. The article is correct in saying that Janek Sunber thinks about the fact that he'll never know the trooper's name, but the trooper doesn't do anything remotely notable.

  3. Relevant to Suber and the battle, and would even make a good addition to the stormtrooper article, but not enough for an individual article on this individual trooper. OOM 224 (he/him) 07:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

  1. Sunber also attempts to save the trooper after he dies, and when they mention that he won't know the trooper's name it is very clear it's referring to this specific one. They linger on him quite a bit longer and quite a bit more variably than just a background death. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 05:56, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
    • The fact that Sunber thinks about this trooper in specific, trying to save him aside, makes it notable as is, because this specific individual is being referred to. That gives them a degree of identity, as limited as it is. There are other indicators of notability than action alone. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 05:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
      • Sure, Sunber thinks about them, but that doesn't mean that the trooper themself is a notable individual. If Sunber thought about a random rock, that wouldn't make that rock notable. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 06:19, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
        • While I don't feel a rock is the most apt comparison to an actual individual, there's still the fact that Sunber actively attempts to tend to this trooper. Thoughts are not all that are had. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 07:05, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

  3. The reflection on the trooper is significant to me, and reflects both Sunber's character and the effect this particular trooper had on him. Lots of troopers died in that battle (90% of their forces), but this is the only one to be remembered. Manoof (he/him/his) RainbowRebellion2 08:14, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
