Incredibly niche article of very little interest even to Star Wars fans. Entirely sourced by primary sources and non-reliable sources. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 06:11, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I am not seeing how WP:GNG would be met here; it's ORish fancruft, based significantly on primary sources, none of which seem to even tackle this very subject (the "Palpatine family"). This kind of stuff belongs on Wookiepiedia, not Wikipedia (and https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Palpatine_family exists there for interested readers). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:25, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Palpatine#Relationships as a valid ATD. It's a plausible search term IMO. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:09, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Palpatine#Family tree per others, but it is not standalone notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:04, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, on the basis of HadesTTW's argument applying to the vast majority of Star Wars-related Wikipedia articles. Madam Garsa Fwip for instance. A minor character who appears in what amounts to single-scene cameos in three episodes, only speaking in two of them, with most of the article sources being interviews with the actress and speculation of her being the series' true villain, which was not the case. Unless we are going to seriously discuss compressing most of them into the character lists (List of The Book of Boba Fett characters in the cast of Thwip), this discussion should not be had. Unless you (HadesTTW) are open to discussing a Garsa merge request too, amongst others. 103.104.117.205 (talk) 08:05, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or redirect per all. Most of this is based on unreliable primary sources, and doesn't support a stand-alone article. It might be fine to add some family details at another notable character article. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:17, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
