Forum:CT Archive/Additional FA rule suggestion

In the light of the Burl Ives affair, which is apparently a perfectly legitimate FA nominee because of a flaw in the rules, it is obvious that the following rule should be added:


 * In order to be accepted as an FA, the article must contain information that is sufficiently relevant to Star Wars

I'm sure this suggestion will be shot down by those assuming powerful and influential positions in Wookieepedia, but I've put it up for a vote anyway.

Such a rule should be added

The rules should not be changed

 * 1) I oppose this silly restriction, but as it's presently worded it still wouldn't exclude Burl Ives in its current form. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 16:46, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) The FAs represent the best of all articles. If they don't contain an excess of information pertinent to Star Wars, what should it matter? The articles are still good.-- Doquis (HoloConference)[[Image:Czerka Logo.JPG|30px]] 18:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I would just like to remind everyone There Is No Cabal. Well, I guess there's a cabal in SW. But not in Wookieepedia. There Is No Wookieepedia Cabal. Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 19:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't really know which way to vote. I think this rule could potentially be abused. Basically any real-world article is definitely going to come under scrutiny for this. If this does go through (and it looks like it will), I can object to someone like Harrison Ford being featured right? There's definitely not enough information on Ford that sufficiently relates to Star Wars, except for his part in playing Han Solo. The majority of information on him will relate to other things that have nothing to do with Star Wars. Cull Tremayne 21:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
