Forum:SH:Totally unidentified but canon articles?

The current version of Notability policy states that ''Subjects that both appeared within new canon material and received names and backstories within material that falls under the Legends brand shall not receive new canon articles until they receive names in material that is considered canon. (...) Once a subject's name is established in a new canon source, whether that be new material or old material that has been designated as canon, it can receive an article detailing its existence in the canon continuity.''

I'm not sure how this applies to a couple of articles: the unidentified head-bumping stormtrooper is a movie-only character, who was never identified in any old EU source. Currently, the article is marked as Legends, even though the single appearance and all the sources (except maybe the Insider article) should all be valid for a canon article. But the guy hasn't been named yet, and I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't in the near future. If Wookieepedia had an EU notability policy as of March 2014, this article would probably have passed it due to the OOU significance of the blooper.

Similarly, the unidentified hunched individual hasn't been named, but assuming the alien design isn't entirely cut from Ep. VII, the character has some significance as one of the first characters from the new trilogy to appear on screen in costume. This would be true even if the character isn't given a name.

So, how should these edge cases be handled? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 16:25, May 24, 2014 (UTC)
