Wookieepedia:Trash compactor/Breast

Breast
They have no more specific Star Wars relevance than any other body part. We don't have articles on arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, toes, or anything else on the humanoid body. Why breasts? jSarek 07:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep

 * 1) Keep. Because of things like trees and reptiles and fish having boobs. It makes it notable. Havac 07:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *So? They also have arms and legs.  There's nothing in the canon about why that should be notable. jSarek 07:43, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) **Arms and legs just don't have the same significance to fanboys as breasts have :-P KEJ 07:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) ***Reptiles normally have arms and legs. Fish have fins which can easily be believed to evolve into arms and legs. Sentient trees are humaniform because that's the way things get made in sci-fi. But there's absolutely no precedent for breasts on a fish. Or on a reptile. It's unusual and what's wrong with documenting that? We have articles on the Yevethan dewclaw. Why not have an article on breasts? Havac 17:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Sikon 08:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Keep. http://www.cuswe.org/newdescr.asp?search=42045 -- add this info to the article and it is no longer subject to the deletion policy.  --School of Thrawn 101 08:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Keep. They are an important thing in many cultures. If lekku get a page, then so do breasts. If sugar and water and alcohol get pages, then so do breasts. Kaje 12:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) Keep! Where else would you go to find out how many species have more than 2 breasts? I wouldn't object to having a head article that lists species with more than 1 head, and an arm article that lists species with more than 2. These types of articles could also list characters whose heads/limbs/lekku have been severed, and also link to their corresponding prosthetic replacements. Clothing specific to the respective body parts could also be mentioned.

Merge

 * 1) Merge with Mammal. KEJ 07:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you mean redirect to mammal? I'm not sure merging it makes sense, since the two articles have entirely different purposes.  --School of Thrawn 101 07:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I mean "merge". I'll refrain from commenting on the purpose of the breast article. KEJ 07:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete

 * 1) Delete. jSarek 07:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Delete. I have to say that I don't envision an a category for body parts. Should this include kidney as well? Cull Tremayne 08:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. --School of Thrawn 101 08:43, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Penis? Oh, yeah. .  .  .  .  08:37, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Weak delete. See comment below. -- Ozzel 08:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Per jSarek. Green Tentacle (Talk) 08:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Delete. Darth Admony 12:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Remember, this week is Breast Awareness Week. Make sure to inform the women in your life that you're aware of their breasts and that you appreciate them very much. Enochf 12:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Do we really need an article on this? Delete.--Windu223 14:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Delete. General Layton 14:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) Delete. T8-13 14:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) Delete. ASAP. If this isn't deleted, I demand articles on fingernails, shirts, knuckles, vests, towels, navels, scalps, sweat, etc. All of which are mentioned in canon works, but none of which are particularly distinctive to SW. Atarumaster88  15:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 10) Delete mainly on the basis of notability. When would this legitimately be linked to? Arms, hands, and hair are all a lot more notable, arguably. We do not need to even point out the Neti thing (we aren't a stand-up comedy routine), but even if we did, it would belong in the species' article.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 16:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 11) Delete, along with its search icon.- Solus (Bird of Prey)  17:22, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * I think it's about time for us to make a policy in regards to what things with Earthian counterparts we will cover on the site and what we will not. -- Ozzel 07:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I concur, and the policy should be linking to Wikipedia in those cases. See also Entymal and chitin. If we keep Breasts, we need a Chitin article. And who will work on it? No one. Why? Because the breasts article is inherently immature. Sorry, but it's true.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 16:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If this is kept, then I want an article on Facial hair! KEJ 13:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * To borrow from someone else, I'm so opposed to this article that my opposition could split from me and form a separate entity, giving two votes against this thing. Atarumaster88  16:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * "Keep! Where else would you go to find out how many species have more than 2 breasts?" -- Um, how about that species' article?  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 16:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Arms, hands, and hair are all a lot more notable, arguably. Depends on your "point of view" :-P [just kidding]. KEJ 16:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Obviously, this article is going to be a target of immaturity. But then again, so is Waru. And Wank. And Leia Organa Solo (bikini OMG LOLZ!!!!). But we have those anyway because they're canon and that's what we do. The first edit of Visas Marr was something about her being raped by Nihilus. We just turned it into a respectable article. I don't think we should allow the potential for vandalism -- or the idea that breasts are naughty and we can't have an article on them -- to keep us from making a respectable article. Furthermore, they have notability within the Star Wars universe, due to their appearance on species which should not have them, which should be covered. It's probably best off as a brief overview of what it is, a discussion of their SW significance, and a link to Wikipedia for more facts about them in general. It doesn't hurt anyone.

 * "I don't think we should allow the potential for vandalism -- or the idea that breasts are naughty and we can't have an article on them -- to keep us from making a respectable article." That's not my argument. I don't see how a respectable article can be made here, or is necessary. See also kidney; no content there couldn't be covered in some other, more relevant place. By your rationale, Havac, we should have an article on Hair and every mention of hair in every article will need to link to it. That includes infoboxes. Now if you're seriously advocating that, OK -- I could be persuaded to be that hyper-anatomically-inclusionist :) and change my vote here. But while I might agree that it's notable enough to mention Neti and Mon Cals having breasts, it belongs on the respective species' pages. Let someone sufficiently interested do a search for "breast" instead.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 17:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Breasts are canon. They appear, explicitly, in three seperate scenes in The Courtship of Princess Leia, which differentiates them from the spurious pages people have compared them to. And that's to say nothing of implicit toplessness in Tyrant's Test and elsewhere, widespread discussion of their significance in Falleen physiology, and the appearance of a bare-breasted Oola character-design in RotJ production art (The Art of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi). I really think that we have the potential to create a great Wookieepedia page here, one that's amusing without being smutty or silly, and also mature and informative. Ultimately, Wookieepedia is about what appears in Star Wars canon: breasts are among the things that do, and subjective POVs shouldn't be allowed to interfere with that principle. There's vandalism at Palpatine, and Korlo Brightwater is a stub in need of serious expansion. These factors don't make those articles irrelevant. --McEwok 17:30, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
