Keyan Farlander

5-word substub (one misspelled) for Star Warscruft minor character. RickK 07:14, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Star Wars things will pop up everywhere as the movie is shown. Harro5 08:28, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge. Fancruft to be sure, but there are many millions of Star Wars fans who might be interested in this article, even if it is about a minor character. I would have voted a flat out merge if I could find an article to merge this with. If someone cares to merge all the minor characters together to List of minor Star Wars characters I would be all for it. Sjakkalle 08:44, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Wow, we apparently do have that article... a straight merge from me then! Sjakkalle 08:45, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge / redirect to List of minor Star Wars characters as per WP:FICT. -- Lochaber 10:29, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect as above. Nickptar 15:51, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• merge and redirect please Yuckfoo 17:58, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete since/if not in movie(s). Merge/redir second choice. Niteowlneils 23:01, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I don't think being in the movies makes a character more notable than a non-movie character. By that logic, R3-A2 would be included, but Mara Jade would stay out.-LtNOWIS 20:28, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

• Agree with merge and redirect per WP:FICT. Barno 23:31, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• thefourdotelipsis Sorry, expanded. Is quite a major Star Wars EU charachter. more history than some charachters found in the films. but merge it with the minor charachters list if you must

• Merge Changed my mind, there are people on the List of minor Star Wars characters with a lot more background than Farlander. Farlander does have a larger role in in the Star Wars Expanded Universe (as well as possibly appearing in the original trilogy Battle of Yavin). I could see this article being expanded with more info from his role in the Star Wars books etc...--Fxer 16:41, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Where to merge Keyan seems to be a bit confusing, he is a rebel (List of minor Rebel characters in Star Wars), but also eventually a Jedi (List of minor Star Wars Jedi characters) or perhaps he just goes with the other characters that can't be categorized (List of minor Star Wars characters)--Fxer 17:28, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
    • He could be in one and the other could contain a link to his entry. Or one could talk about his role as a Rebel and the other about him as a Jedi. Nickptar 20:30, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I agree with Nickptar. Merge into the minor Jedi characters list and put a link in the other to it. --M412k 02:10, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to List of minor Star Wars characters. JamesBurns 10:41, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, reasons stated. Just FYI, I got 751 Google hits. The first 2 were from Wikipedia, but most of the next 20 are definitely valid.-LtNOWIS 20:15, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
