The result was delete. A merge to List of Star Wars characters is inappropriate because (a) the content is unsourced and (b) the target page states that "This is a list of prominent characters from the Star Wars franchise" (emphasis mine). Sandstein 19:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lieutenant Page

Inexplicably removed prod. Background window dressing in Zahn's novels and elsewhere; trivial character in-universe, wholly non-notable out-of-universe. Not worth merging into List of Star Wars characters per WP:RS, WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:NOT#DIR, WP:NOT#INFO. --EEMIV (talk) 16:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete How is this person possibly notable? Even if he were a real person, not a fictional one, he would fail notability standards because there are absolutely no sources. Nyttend (talk) 03:27, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- This is Wikipedia, not Wookieepedia. We are not a repository of all fancruft. We have standards of verifiability, notability and sourcing and this article dismally fails all of them. Reyk _YO! 00:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into appropriate character list. Hobit (talk) 02:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into List of Star Wars characters. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 04:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Merge into List of minor Star Wars characters. Lists of characters are supposed to be complete. Even if the character is not worthy of a separate article, there's no reason not to include him in the minor character list. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of characters are supposed to be complete - Is this articulated anywhere in policy or even a guideline? If so, it's news to me and I'll go through and add a bunch of these windowdressing characters myself. --EEMIV (talk) 10:51, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Featured lists are supposed to be comprehensive and complete and isn't that what lists should be aiming for? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:06, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I interpret complete in this context as named characters with spoken dialog (or in special cases a key role in the plot even without dialog). In this case, he apparent did have dialog & is not one of an undifferentiated mass. I agree that if someone says" Here's my team: A, B, c, D, and E," and none of them say anything, they are not characters worth mentioning here even in a list DGG (talk) 03:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
