Forum:CT Archive/Drawing the line: IU vs OOU

Where do we draw the line on whether something deserves an article or not? Certainly we don't have an article on words like The or Oh (thanks, Fourdot), but why not? Because these are not specific to aurebesh, but existes in the real world as well? But by that same token, why do we have an article on ducks and Humans, then? Neither are specific to Star Wars, and we cannot prove that they have any inherent qualities that set them apart from their real-life counterparts. Cantinas, starships, aliens, none are SW-specific, but have their own articles because they hold significance IU and in the collective fan consciousness. It is common sense, you say. And I agree, but where do we draw the line?

I would make a Poll for you to vote on, but I don't have any suggestions to give you. DarthMRN 12:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
