 * Yes, yes, yes, GOD Yes! This should have been done when we merged Sidious/Palpatine. If the New Essential Guide to Characters can have one Skywalker/Vader entry, so can we. QuentinGeorge 02:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I see the light now. We are an encyclopedia, we shouldn't make exceptions like this. .  .  .  .  02:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * For the record, the Databank has separate entries for Anakin and Vader. Adamwankenobi 02:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * "We are not the Databank". And the Databank is a poor excuse for an encyclopedia. .  .  .  .  03:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No offense, but we're not the New Essential Guide to Characters either. I mentioned the Databank simply to give another example of how official sources have treated the Anakin/Vader issue. Adamwankenobi 03:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The databank also has separate entries for Palpatine and Sidious. -- Ozzel 04:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, but we are an encyclopedia. And encyclopedias don't make distinctions - a person is a person, and gets one article. .  .  .  .  04:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ozzel: I know. But the point was that we shouldn't have to be the New Essential Guide to Characters or the Databank. We should make decisions based on consensus, like we did for Palpatine. I was playing Devil's Advocate mentioning the Databank. Adamwankenobi 04:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
