Finally, be sure to update the vote count.

5. All merchandise in "Sources" and create articles on this wiki for each set that's released (+1)

 * 1) It's clear that toys are C-canon sources, just like anything else made recently, so, they should be treated like those other things. jSarek 01:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments
To give an example as to how the origin of this debate would be resolved: if and only if Option 4 were to succeed, the new Quinlan Vos figure would go under Sources, with a link to back up the information. Otherwise, no information about the figure would be provided, unless previously unknown canonical information was provided by it (ie. Quinlan Vos with 9 toes instead of the 10 we presume). 23:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay under what I'm voting for, would we have a link to the site stating that Quinlan Vos has a action figure in production?--Herbsewell 14:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I suppose so... Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 14:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * And just to make sure, for option 3.2, we'll still have a link to the merchandise wiki, right? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 14:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Herbsewell, I already told you many times. No. Quoted from above: "no information about the figure would be provided". Option 4 is the ONLY one to provide a link to the Quinlan figure. And to answer Jack's question, yes. 16:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 23:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * And I take it this will last over a week, correct? Because I believe we might end up seeing more options. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 14:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
