Factory
On the one hand, as I said on the talk page, any fan reading this article who doesn't know what a factory or a palace is would be better off with a more general reference.
On the other hand, factories do canonically exist. Perhaps other editors feel that this article could be improved to discuss industrial facilities in the Star Wars universe.
I should also note that this article has a {{cleanup}} tag, and has been criticised for lack of POV. I think we shouldn't let that affect the votes too much, as that's easily fixable. — Silly Dan 19:56, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

- Weak Keep. There are enough examples of unique spins on factories in Star Wars (The Great Heep and the World Devastators, for instance) that one could plausibly make this a relevant, useful article. On the other hand, all those special factories deserve articles of their own, and there's not a whole lot to say about the concept in general that isn't earthly. If it gets kept, it needs some serious reworking. jSarek 22:35, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

- Keep -- what JSarek said (the Star Forge's also a kind of unique factory) KEJ 22:48, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Make it a disambig page that links to all factories in the galaxy. --Azizlight 23:12, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. How many articles about factories do we actually have? Even if we have a lot, they would be better served by a simple List of factories. Anyone who needs a definition of "factory" should go to Wikipedia or Dictionary.com. —Darth Culator (talk) 23:57, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Droid factory would make a better article. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:50, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
