Ick. Allow me to throw up, please.

Sorry. I just had to get that out of my system. I saw the Bobo article. Wait...what's that you say? Article? We have an article on an alias? That's right kids. An Encyclopedia article on an alias. Lemme tell you can stick your alias articles. On the aliasee's article. In a peripheral section. I must sound like a broken record. It's not encyclopedic to have an article on something that does not exsist. That's not to say that we can't cover the topic, it's just to say that these kind of things should, by all means, be put in the peripheral section of another article. I know that many of you have an attatchment to Eye of Palpatine, but let's toe the line somewhere, people. That belongs in a section of the Superweapon article.

Exceptions would be elaborate hoaxes and things that really do exsist, but Saxton decided that he didn't feel like having them fit into his biazzaro semi-realistic fantasy world of ILM models. But, for god's sake, it's not an article unless you can make an article out of it. If the Lando Calrissian walks into a bar and gives his name as Sylvester Sheckshingall, that doesn't mean that we should have an article on it. If Palpatine starts spouting out hypothetical names for the Death Star, that doesn't warrant an article either. Otherwise, where's the Katarn's beard, or Freaking Sweet Hat articles? They're red. Bobo, Bimkall sector (yeah, I'm targeting errors too...relegate that to the HNN article), should be too.

Be encyclopedic
