Forum:Individual source list is sub-set of Species source list ?

Wookieepedia &gt; WookieeProject Aliens &gt; 

Hello, sentients.

'Tis a question that's been buggin' me for a while, but it was sheerly academic up until now. I will give you the specific example. I want to nominate the article on the Vodran alien species. I will check all the apps & sources mentioning either the species, the planet and each and any of the known, named Vodrans. One of these Vodrans was Xenon Nnaksta. Nnaksta had a passing mention in Wanted by Cracken, saying only that "[this other guy] made attempts on the lives of (...) Commander Nnaksta (and others)." No more info on Nnaksta, and in fact Nnaksta's species wouldn't be specified for one more year later in a different source.

To me, this is enough to list WbC in the source list of the Vodran article, because one Vodran was unambiguously mentioned in WbC, even if the species itself was not. In other words: The complete source list for one species will include all the items in the source lists of any member of the species. The source list of an alien is a sub-set of the source list for this alien's species. Every of these source will surely include information on the species&mdash;for instance, sometimes other people made attempts on the lives of Vodrans.

Alternatively, I've been just told, when the source mentions only one individual and not the species, that source should not be included in the species (My talk page). I wanted to hear your opinions before making a decision, because it affects an article that's in my aim. Kudos, Skippy Farlstendoiro 09:37, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
