Obvious schmobvious. Obvious or not, it is a phrase used within the Star Wars universe, and it has a meaning that would be conventionalized within the universe, and I'm sure that if a dictionary of Basic existed in the universe, 'primary target' would be found there. What I'm saying is that it is an in-universe linguistic unit, and if other in universe linguistic units like the phrase I have a bad feeling about this has its own article, then so should primary target. If obviousness is the main criterion for articles in this encyclopaedia, then a lot of articles will have to be deleted. KEJ 09:55, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- The difference is, I have a bad feeling about this has it's own article because of it's notability within fandom, not because it's articleworthy in and of itself (the same is true of It's a trap!). There are a great many in-universe linguistic units, but unless they *differ* from their English counterparts in some way, or have achieved some kind of notability, they aren't worthy of an article. jSarek 22:46, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
