Kae Kwaad
I do not think alias's should have article and this is by far the largest one I could find. It can also me misleading to people reading articles of both the alias and the person who assumed it. I also really think there needs to be some measure of consistency as we do not have articles for all the alias's Mara Jade or Han Solo ever assumed so maybe this can be a start to a measure of consistency GTQ ( Problems? ) 00:42, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Delete and put a Consensus Track for all alias articles

 * 1) GTQ ( Problems? ) 00:42, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Aliases aren't things, they're alternate names used by a subject. One subject, one article. If people are worried about lost information, then allow for an "Aliases" subsection to be added to the LG, and/or an aliases/alternate names field in infoboxes. But you don't need a full article on a false name used briefly by someone or something that has its own article already. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 03:31, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Entirely per Jujiggum, as well as my own comments here.  Master Jonathan &mdash; Jedi Council Chambers Monday, May 30, 2011, 03:51 UTC
 * 4) Although this has been voted on before, the previous CT vote count indicated that opinions are leaning towards merging aliases (11 for keep, 15 for merging). Additionally, I know that the "spoilers" argument always comes up, but I think we fail to realize that soft redirects ruin spoilers just as much as normal redirects. When the first sentence is "Keil Garris was an alias of Han Solo..." etc., there's no spoiler prevention. Furthermore, this is Wookieepedia. Every article contains a spoiler. Also, per everything JJM said. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 03:59, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) *And in specific reference to Kae Kwaad: if I'm not mistaken, this isn't so much an alias as it is an alternate identity. For this instance, I would definitely go for delete. It's the same situation as Vader and Anakin, Nyna Calixte and Morrigan Corde, and Vydel Dir'Nul and Kardem, if I'm not totally mistaken. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 04:03, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Agreed. Corellian PremierRobotech.jpg along the watchtower 15:01, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) Alias articles should only exist under specific circumstances, and we need a CT to hammer out those circumstances. This is not one of them. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 18:35, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) This article should be merged with the Onimi article, since that is the person that had this alias, to avoid any loss of information. A consensus track for all alias articles is also in order.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  18:39, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * 12) Along with all other alias articles. MasterFred Commerce Guild.svg(Whatever) 18:26, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Where's the Delete option without any CT? –Tm_T (Talk) 19:03, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think one is needed. If this one is deleted, then a CT should be started to decide the fate of all other alias articles. MasterFred Commerce Guild.svg(Whatever) 18:14, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * We already had CT very recently, I see no point hammering it yet again this soon. –Tm_T (Talk) 20:05, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
