Forum:SH Archive/Multiple articles on Unidentified Jedi

So, today I saw a large bunch of articles for Unidentified Jedi being created, based a single visual depiction. Using an illustration from either a Wizards of the Coast sourcebook or a card from Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game those articles simply restate the information from the image and are marked as stubs, though any new information about those characters is nigh impossible to be released. Example are: Do we really create a new article for every single character depicted ever now? The deletionist in me is crying upon seeing this. SWG TCG alone has hundreds of illustrations of individuals besides the one already uploaded - not only Jedi, but dark-siders, Rebels and Imperials, smugglers and other criminals as well. Should we create an article for each and every one of them, despite the fact that those persons would be never given names or ever appear anywhere again? More important, what's the point in having an article that simply describes what's already obvious from the image?
 * Unidentified Form Zero practitioner
 * Unidentified Near-Human Jedi
 * Unidentified Force Warrior
 * Unidentified Falleen Jedi

"This male Human Jedi Knight was a member of the Jedi Order meditating before entering the battle". This simple sentence not only repeats the obvious, it also makes too much assumptions. Incorrect ones, because as the card game takes place sometime ABY, he most likely wasn't a member of the Order, nor was he present in Rise of the Empire era. And how do we know that he meditated before the battle, not after? Don't get me wrong, I don't suggest to nuke all unidentified characters. But there are some that actually do something on the stories, just without receiving a name, and some that are only present on a single image, how much could be said about them?

I think that the so-called hyper-inclusionists sometimes forget that Wookieepedia exists not for its editors, but for its readers. I cannot imagine someone benefiting from reading the article that states: "This H'nemthe was a Jedi, as you can see on the picture", just as I cannot imagine a reader learning something from the article on Chair. I have put together a very rough draft of the rules for the notability of such articles, and I wonder: would I get any support at all if I eventually take this to CT? Please take time to leave a short respond. Thank you.  Mauser  Comlink 10:47, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
