"AT-AT" SpecPlate

  • Nominated by: - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 19:02, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Nomination comments: This is a bit of an unorthodox nomination for two reasons. Firstly, we apparently don't have any non-narrative OOU status articles as of yet, which would make this article a first. Secondly, there are obviously many redlinks in the Appearances section on the outset of this nomination. This is purposeful; while I have created articles for the links I was certain were notable, I thought it more efficient to vet out the remaining un-made redlinks through this page's CAN process and create articles for the redlinks that remained afterwards, rather than go through the TC process for every single subject that might not be notable. I have no intention of leaving whichever redlinks remain, well, red for the entire nomination process.

  • Please fill in all the redlinks except for atmosphere intake, cockpit access tube, and footpad. Imperators II(Talk) 20:23, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
    • All created and the three outliers removed from list. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 22:37, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
  • I think the article should note that the AT-AT schematics were re-used from The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels. Imperators II(Talk) 13:17, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
    • While some match, not every part of the schematics from either EGVV or SpecPlate seem to appear in the other source and some that do match also have slightly differing names. Should I still mention this anyway? - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 02:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I would still. You could perhaps change the wording to something like "based on" if you feel that's more appropriate. Imperators II(Talk) 09:00, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
        • Since we can't confirm it was based on the EGVV schematics (they could have been given them from elsewhere within Lucasfilm) I merely noted that some of them are shared. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 10:08, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

  • I think StarWars.com's exclusive preview for it is worth noting in the article body. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 03:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Added. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 23:18, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

  • Whether or not this page is canon or Legends is currently unspecified in the WP:CANON policy, which states that media before April 25, 2014 are Legends and media September 2, 2014 and after are canon. I'm fine with the current classification as Legends, but I just want to note the ambiguity for the record. ThrawnChiss7 Mitth symbol Assembly Cupola 00:13, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
  • This CAN is now at the length where most CANs would typically be sectioned out. However, there isn't exactly a precedent or policy for how a page like this one would be sectioned out. I'm open suggestions for how to move forward in this regard. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 10:10, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
    • I'd argue that at least two of the prose sections also used for narrative works should be formed here: 1) one describing what this work is and what does it include (similar to "Plot summary", but obviously the title will need to be different, something to the effect of "Description" or "Contents", probably), and 2) one describing how this work came to be (~"Development", which the LG stipulates should also include info on the work's release). There might (?) also be enough material to warrant the inclusion of a Continuity section. On that last note, I'd imagine we should have an article on what those SpecPlates were in the first place; I'm also noticing that apparently they share some IU info such as characters.
