 * 1) Out of the entire body, there are only 3 or 4 sentences that acually pertain directly to the actions of the assassins. There is waaaaaayy too much unneccessary context. We don't need to know the origins of the Grand Army of the Republic, Sifo-Dyas doesn't need to be mentioned, Mace Windu and his duel has no place here, Order 66 needs only a few words of detail, the Jedi killed during Order 66 don't need to be spoken about, and the events on Mustafar and the duel in the Senate are of no relevance. Your only concerns should be that they are part of the Grand Army of the Republic, that Palpatine was behind their creation, that they participated in Operation: Knightfall under Vader's command, that they were assigned to protect the beacon, and that they failed in that task when confronted by Kenobi. That's it. Nothing more. The rest if fluff and padding that has no place in this article. Darth Trayus  Sith_Emblem.svg ( Trayus Academy ) 00:07, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

 * Naru, please note that a "non-TCW nom for WP:TCW" does not (and cannot) exist. The project is for stuff from the TV series, not the rest of the Clone Wars or the Campaign Guide.  CC7567  (talk) 22:59, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's more of a joke really. Its the first one that was specifically only related to it through the campaign guide, which is part of the TCW multimedia project by LFL but not really part of the TV series, books, comics, etc. which bear the logo.

 * Regardless of humor, please note that it still doesn't fall under the project's span.  CC7567  (talk) 06:54, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Naru, this is not the first time you've nominated an article with lots and lots of blatant fluff, and you're sufficiently experienced at writing articles to know what is fluff. You're wasting everyone's time (including your own, but that's yours to waste) with such noms and if you continue punitive measures will be considered. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 15:29, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Echoing Darth Trayus and AdmirableAckbar, I'm going to recommend withdrawing the nomination. At least a third of the biography is fluff. -- —Harrar  ( Cut the comm chatter ) 15:39, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Naru, let me give you some advice, harsh as it may sound. Stop trying to get tons of GAs/FAs by nominating articles that fall way short of meeting the requirements. You're making a mockery of the FA/GA page. If you truly do not know what info in your articles in extraneous, then I suggest you figure it out. Ask someone and read other FA/GAs. We will not continue to tolerate this.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 23:55, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if you feel the info is extraneous, I don't. That's because it's the way I write and probably the way I always will write. I'll try to be more dilligent in the future but my personal tendencies will always get in the way, which is why I do get people to read my articles before I nominate them, that they don't object to so-called "fluff" beforehand is also my fault as I've never asked them to focus on that before. Just remove the nomination already, the removal vote is quite pointless. I'll work on the article and maybe try it again some other time.

Vote to remove nomination (Inquisitorius only)
 * 1) Per above.  Chack Jadson  (Talk)  23:55, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  IFYLOFD  ( You will pay the price for your lack of vision! ) 03:51, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) I mean no direct insult to Naru when I say this, but I think it's pretty telling when more and new people (Trayus, in this instance) pick up on what is really nothing more than fluff in Naru's articles. This isn't just a minor spat between two users over what should or what should not be in an article anymore. This is becoming a recurring epidemic.

 * 5) I am sorry to do this as well, but it definitely appears to be a lot of fluff after a cursory look. &mdash;  Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 19:52, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
