Wookieepedia:Reliable sources (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
This proposed policy has been around since 2005, when it was necessary to combat fanon. Nine years later, this page is hardly needed and all its content is covered under the existing and proposed canon policies. Even the original author, Imperialles, said it's time for this to go, so might as well run it through the TC to make it official. 1358 (Talk) 16:04, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
- Just a note: I changed the "delete" option to redirect because the page is/was featured in our Welcome template, which means there's a load of links to it. Redirects are cheap, after all. 1358 (Talk) 21:34, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

- Was going to suggest making it a redirect to the canon policy, or the sourcing instructions page...but nah.—Silly Dan (talk) 16:48, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

- ^ This. Creating a redirect won't serve any great purpose. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 21:07, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
- Thirded. The thousands of links to the old list of Wookieepedians didn't stop us from outright deleting it. Why should it stop us here?
Master Jonathan Council Chambers 00:51 UTC Mon May 5, 2014 - It pollutes Special:WantedPages, for one. --Imperialles 00:54, May 5, 2014 (UTC)
- It doesn't have to. It's a trivial task to delink all the redlinks with a bot, like we did on the Wookieepedian list.

I wrote this in the wiki's formative period, when it was very necessary. Luckily, we no longer face a constant hailstorm of fanon. The page has served its purpose. RIP in peace. --Imperialles 16:10, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
