==(Sharp keening at 85 cycles, followed by five atonal mandible clicks), the Other Holonet News Names, and Any Name Articles we Discover Henceforth==

Despite it being well-worded and well-intentioned&mdash;a wonderful stab at speciesism to its core&mdash;we should not keep articles on names, and this statement will be qualified shortly. Cool your jets and hold your edit buttons; Jax Pavan should be spared. As for the mandable clicking, it was created in response to our having articles on the other HoloNet News names, which have existed since 2006. As we make a point of noting frequently, standards have changed. Since then, we have not made many articles on names, of which we've been provided with plenty in the form of popular ones for various species. Any that I have ever come across before have been deleted rightly: they are notable only for that species and it can be covered by the species article.

If these HoloNet News names are any different than the species names, they're less notable. The ones from the sourcebooks at least have more information than "it was a popular name." There is no demographic given. There is no location provided. The argument that the picture makes it noteworthy has nothing to do with its notability: "the article exists because it was printed in an in-universe source that we can take screencaps of." There is nothing to this except the joke that was the purpose its existence. There's nothing wrong with that, but that doesn't make it worth an article when he've made habit of deleting names in the past.

Now then. I know there are strong feelings about the Jax Pavan name article. Feelings so strong that there are those who will vote against this simply to save that sole article. If only we'd had that support for "1.83 meters (planet)"&hellip; Anyway, if that's the exception, I'm fine with that. The Jax Pavan name has a location (Coruscant), demographic (Coruscanti), a quantified population, and had plot relevance to the story. It has quantifiable notability, which is far more than what we can say for the HoloNet News name and any other general name article. Additionally, articles on aliases have been hashed out elsewhere. Don't worry about those here. NaruHina Talk  03:35, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
