Wookieepedia:Notability policy

This notability policy describes criteria for determining the notability of articles on Wookieepedia, as accepted and approved by community consensus. Except for fan projects, which are covered on their own page at Notability of fan projects, any type of article not discussed below does not have fixed rules for determining notability; in such cases, notability is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Species

 * →Passed at the January 25, 2014 Mofference

If an individual is of a unique and unnamed sentient species that does not appear elsewhere, that species should not receive an article; instead, the character's physical appearance should be described in the individual's article. Generic background characters should not receive species articles. However, if two or more characters are of the same unidentified species, that species may receive an article. Exceptions can be made for single-member species that are particularly notable.

As a general rule, a species must have one of the following to necessitate an article:
 * A canonical name.
 * Multiple members. For example: Yoda's species or Eero Iridian's species.
 * Significant development/behind the scenes information, such as inspiration. For example: Red pachydermoid species.
 * A homeworld that has been specifically mentioned or appeared, and has been specifically identified as the species' homeworld.
 * Significant backstory or accomplishments that have been directly attributed to the species. For example: Those who came before.
 * Significant description and identification as a unique species in dialogue. For example: Nuso Esva's species.
