Droid marine

Delete

Why-dark lord revan

Keep

  1. I vote to keep. I can just overhaul the page and make it better quality, and add a picture. --Bly1993
  2. I don't see why we always delete articles just because they're game mechanics...but I don't think this really is a game mechanic, so much as a seperate type of battle droid. At most this should be added to the battle droid page noting that the green markins meant it was marine. -Jaymach Ral'Tir 10:14, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  3. I vote keep because the green coloration indicates a discrete programming variant of battle droid.JustinGann 10:43, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  4. Let me remind you all that this droid was designed during the Clone Wars, when the Trade Federation had to become better equiped for war. So, they probably built specialized types, as opposed to the Naboo Blockade, when they only had four colors of the B-1 battle droid. --Mr. Perfection 11:47, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  5. Given that some other game mechanics and game mechanic-like items have their own articles, this one should be kept I think. KEJ 12:18, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  6. Keep, but it needs a real overhaul. Pics, and the like. Tam 09:38, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  7. Keep. Even thought games go against canon, it technically does exist. Admiral J. Nebulax 17:50, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Merge

  1. Merge into Battlefront II. The unit is just a game mechanic. --SparqMan 18:54, 6 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  2. Merge. The reason to consider it game mechanics —and incompatible with canon— is that the droids protecting ship innards in all other sources are the red-marked security droids. I would also consider removing the entry on the B-1 battle droid colors list --Thinortolan 11:33, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Comments

It all really depends on whether the characters and events in BFII are considered canonical, doesn't it? If they are canonical, then the article should be kept, if not then it should be merged with the game article KEJ 09:30, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  • The characters and events are, but not the game mechanics or game play itself. --SparqMan 09:52, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah, okay, but are the specific types of unit canonical? I'd say that the Droid marine is a specific type of unit. KEJ 10:11, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
