Virtual Cards
It's nice that the Players Committee is continuing to develop the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, and they deserve ONE page just as much as other major fan-operated gaming efforts like Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Heaven or Galactic Conquest, but none of these groups should have more than one page here on Wookieepedia. I believe we need to delete Virtual Cards and Virtual Set 1 and merge their content into Players Committee, and remove all the redlinks from Players Committee before this spreads any further. —Darth Culator (talk) 18:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

- This is probably a notable fan project (if we can verify Decipher or ex-Decipher personnel being involved), but that only makes it worth one article. — Silly Dan 20:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Have added the VFD tag to Virtual Set 1, but I don't think we specifically need a separate discussion. — Silly Dan 14:29, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- There's another article which should be included in this discussion: Writing Team.— Silly Dan 18:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
It does have "notable" Decipher and ex-Decipher employees, because its done by the PC, and their an official group and caretaker of SW:CCG now 199.254.212.44 17:14, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- But are the stories on their cards going to be approved and licensed by Lucasfilm? If not, then no new canonical information can come from the new cards, and virtual cards are no more relevant than any other online fan project. Therefore, they would only get one article. — Silly Dan 18:20, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- It would still make no sense to merge that with Players Committee, since thats the page, and this would be the product. And what about those other non-cannon pages or those pages where the cannonicty is in debate? And what with the 67,000 some pages on here of random systems that have no sources? Those should be all deleted before something pertinant like this is.199.254.212.44 18:23, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- If you see any unsourced in-universe articles, please mark them as sourceless. The non-canon pages do have a place — I'm not arguing that Players Committee be deleted, for example. But please note that we have one article each on TROOPS, Alien Exodus, IMPS - The Relentless, Spaceballs, and other completely non-canonical or fan-produced projects. Maybe the consensus of this wiki will turn out to be that this project warrants two or more articles, but I don't think that it does. That's why I'm voting for merging the articles, so all of the information can be kept, but in a single article. — Silly Dan 18:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- Though it occurs to me that some fansites do have separate articles on their webmasters and on particular features. Not on every single message board moderator and subpage, mind you, but there's probably about a dozen pages on TheForce.Net related topics. Of course, it's the biggest unofficial Star Wars site around, isn't it? — Silly Dan 18:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Similar articles
This debate should also cover the following articles:
- Virtual Set 1
- Card sleeves
- Writing Team
- Worlds
- Mike Carr (probably notable enough to keep)
- Many of the redlinks in Star Wars Customizable Card Game represent articles which, presumably, someone is going to try to create. Examples: Secret Squirrel, GenCon (previously deleted, I think), formats, Germany, etc.
Almost all of these are candidates for deletion, in my opinion, even if Players Committee and perhaps Mike Carr are worth keeping. —Silly Dan (talk) 23:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- Many of these topics are pertinant, like Virtual Set 1 which is a REAL set sanctioned by the Players Committee through Decipher. Card Sleeves and Worlds I can see. But Mike Carr, Writing Team, and GenCon (which has alot of non-SWCCG StarWars stuff that goes on) should all be kept.

- I find it funny how you people are voting on this without even knowing what it is, and I had to explain what it was like 20 times to Silly Dan. I just find this a bit arbitrary.
