The result was delete. If you can't fix this in five months, then it's pretty hopeless. No real notability established. seicer | talk | contribs 23:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Imperial Academy (Star Wars)

[edit]

AfDs for this article:

This was nominated for deletion previously, and closed with arguments like 'Keep and source' and 'Keep and cleanup'. Five months later, virtually no changes have been made to the article. This is still covering a fictional topic in an almost entirely in-universe style, with no evidence of notability (real-world or otherwise). I think the page is beyond saving, and should be deleted.

On further thought, Transwiki to Wookiepedia would also be an acceptable solution here. Robofish (talk) 21:44, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep I'd like there to be Star Wars stuff on Wikipedia. Also, I'm pretty sure Wookiepedia has extensive in-universe info about the Imperial Academy.- Just Phil 22:01, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Entirely in universe. Exactly the sort of thing to cover on Wookiepedia as it has zero real world relavence. Unless there are sources from outside of Star Wars media which discuss this topic, the article should be deleted. --Leivick (talk) 22:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep-- as I said at the 1st afd, it is a matter of sourcing by giving the specific places in the works where the various statements come from. That's the proper sourcing from primary sources as appropriate. As a major setting element in very major fiction it's notable. Time somebody did some work on it--there probably are some external sources also by now. DGG (talk) 22:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

...but, it isn't a major setting. --EEMIV (talk) 17:49, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless someone gets to overhauling this article fast. Plenty of time has been given to re-write this mess of an article but nothing has been done. Its best to delete it. Someone can always recreate later it if they feel like doing it in a proper way.Nrswanson (talk) 23:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Projectify/userfy to Wikipedia:Drawing board or Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars to encourage the right people to do the neccesary work. This solution keeps the information but doesn't let it lie around in mainspace until it's properly verified. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:38, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even in-universe, it's pretty minor. LordShonus (talk) 02:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It's too in universe to be notable to the outside universe. I'm unclear too on which WP:RS demonstrate it's notability. Shadowjams (talk) 06:09, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- clearly notable from its use in secondary sources about a major alternate universe. This needs work by the relevant wikiprojects. Now is the time to rescue it or userfy it. Bearian (talk) 17:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Background window dressing, alluded to briefly and then forgotten, within Star Wars; wholly non-notable outside of it. --EEMIV (talk) 17:47, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Entirely plot summary and in-universe detail with no real-world information. Doubtful that this topic has ever received substantial coverage in reliable sources. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 17:54, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as completely in-universe and nn. Eusebeus (talk) 18:08, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability not established.--Sloane (talk) 22:54, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
