Kinda just copy and pasted
If there's a way this could be written so it's not just a copy and past of Cylo-IV, it would be good to change that. And some of the stated "facts" here are incorrect; such as, Cylo-V did remember at least some of Cylo-IV's experiences, and so far nothing says Sidious only started meeting with Cylo after the Battle of Yavin.

- What's the point in changing anything if it's to say the same thing? His personality is exactly the same and his origin story is also the same: why bother changing anything? If something should be changed, a page on the actual Cylo should be done, not just on his two different bodies. --Bad'Wolf (talk) 22:58, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
- Each article should be written independently from each other article. Pages that have a very similar subject, such as Cylo-IV/Cylo-V|V or even clone troopers that appeared in the same scenes (Three-Five/17) and canon/legends pages shouldn't be copy/pasted and be identical, even if the same information is on both pages. Long story short, it's bad practice. Bad practice leads to laziness. Laziness leads to errors. Errors lead to poor articles. Manoof (talk) 06:18, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
- Except... Cylo IV and V are not different subjects, they are literally the same character, Cylo IV and V are just seperate bodies... Kinda, V certainly treats himself like he is the same person as Cylo-IV, but there is no real objective prove they are the same person like there is with other clones in Star Wars lore who have had conciousness transferred into their bodies... this is a sort of messy situation. ralok (talk) 09:22, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
- I tend to agree with Ralok here. We do not have separate articles for Palpatine and his reborn self from the Dark Empire series. Nor do we have separate articles for Bevel Lemelisk and his six clones bodies. --LelalMekha (talk) 09:40, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
- But like I said, given how he gets new bodies... its questionable if he actually constitutes the same person. He is effectively an AI that uses from what I can tell... Why didthey have to write the explanation as Star Trek style technobabble it makes pages like this super confusing... Maybe the page shoudl becalled the "Cylo system" since he refers to himself as an "immortal system" and these would be two physical manifestations of the system? ralok (talk) 12:45, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it be easier if a page named "Cylo" was created since the doctor is an separate entity to his bodies (Palpatine himself only calls him 'Cylo'). Then have two pages for Cylo-IV and Cylo-V and just say that they are the fourth and fifth bodies activated by Cylo's system.Bad'Wolf (talk) 07:46, June 26, 2015 (UTC)

Changing the page's title
I have started to change this page so that it will be the main article about Cylo, the being, and not just his individual bodies such as Cylo-IV and Cylo-V. However, I don't have the ability to change the page's title from "Cylo-V" to "Cylo". Could someone get back to me if they can? --Bad'Wolf (talk) 21:08, June 3, 2016 (UTC)
- I think at this point we should just have one article. They're the same character with the same mind/memories so I don't see a reason to keep them separate. What does everyone else think? - Brandon Rhea(talk) 21:39, June 3, 2016 (UTC)
- I agree with you both, seems a lot more easier to put them all together in one article - Lewisr (talk) 21:45, June 3, 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed. As I said earlier, we never made separate pages for Bevel Lemelisk's seven bodies. --LelalMekha (talk) 21:46, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

Merge
So.... why hasn't this been merged with Cylo-IV into the preferrable "Cylo" page yet? I mean, technically, this fifth incarnation of his was killed and now we've seen a Cylo-VI, VII, VIII, IX, X... etc in the last issue... 18:05, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
- Bump.
