Unidentified Blue Squadron pilot[]
- Nominated by: Banana32 (talk)
- Nomination comments: This article has come a long way and will continue to do so. (I know I am probably one of the least-qualified users to nominate because I haven't even got
200(Edit: 400 now :D) edits yet, but I believe this article stands a chance.)

Articles cannot have a separate P&T section unless they also have a Biography section. Seeing as this article is too short to accommodate a Biography, you'd be better off integrating the contents of the P&T into the rest of the article.1358 (Talk) 13:21, December 25, 2017 (UTC)- Furthermore I recommend you move the description of him and his equipment to a separate paragraph following a description of what he did. Right now the structure is "He is human, part of Blue Squadron at Scarif, he has black hair and btw he did more at Scarif too"
- I'm not sure why Biggs deserves a mention. Surely many other characters in the SW universe also have facial hair.
- Neither Merrick nor Raner were identified by their first names in the movie, so their names will need a separate source.
- Should I source them, or for at least Raner, add a pipe link, for example: he and another pilot... Edit: that's what I did for now for Raner. I've asked another user to help me source Merrick's name. Banana32 (talk) 23:27, December 26, 2017 (UTC)
- The release date of 2016 also needs a source and I would definitely like to see more specific dating for that.
- Rather than saying he was portrayed by an "unidentified actor" (I'm sure the people behind the movie knew who he was!), you should say something along the lines that his actor was not credited in the movie. 1358 (Talk) 11:46, December 26, 2017 (UTC)
The CP[]
- Hi Banana! You're right, this had made a lot of progress! A couple things before it can reach CA status. There's infobox-exclusive information right now, such as that he's a Human male.
- Please go through and make sure everything is linked - Rogue One is a good candidate, as is Galactic Empire. And especially X-wing. Corellian PremierThe Force will be with you always 16:45, December 25, 2017 (UTC)

You cannot source the part about Biggs to Rogue One so you'll have to source it to something like A New Hope. Also his skin, hair and eye color are infobox exclusive and need to be in the main body --Lewisr (talk) 17:31, December 25, 2017 (UTC)
AV[]
- Given the orange visor, his eye color can't be sourced to R1.
- I think mentioning his facial hair's very superficial resemblence to Biggs' (full-on beard vs. moustache) is necessary. - AV-6R7Crew Pit 00:05, December 27, 2017 (UTC)
- I deleted everything that mentions his eye color. I find your second sentence interesting because I've noticed a lot of fans supposedly remember seeing Biggs in Rogue One, and I believe they saw this guy and just remembered the mustache. Also, one fan has theorized that Biggs served in Blue Squadron before being redeployed to Red. Banana32 (talk) 00:32, December 27, 2017 (UTC)
JS-4422[]
- I think unnamed characters shouldn't be nominated. Including this one, he does not do anything special and just says one line. JS-4422 (talk) 00:25, December 27, 2017 (UTC)
- Chill out. It's not like I nominated him for featured or anything (not that I could if I wanted to). Also, why shouldn't unnamed characters be nominated? If all the information on the topic is there on the article, why rob an article of Comprehensive status just because the character was never identified? Another interesting reason is that this specific character from Rogue One is more popular than many of the named ones because of his uncanny resemblance to Biggs Darklighter. Many named characters don't even get one word! Banana32 (talk) 00:37, December 27, 2017 (UTC)

- Welcome to the CAN board! Always glad to see new users here. While this is certainly a good start to the article, I'm afraid you're probably going to need to expand it quite a bit to the point that you'll need to make this a good article nomination instead. There is a lot more information concerning Blue Squadron that should be included here, and I've written up Farns Monsbee to give you and idea of what I think should be included. The squadron's mission to Eadu, the context for the battle of Scarif and what we know of the squadron at the battle are relevant to this pilot as they give indirect information about him. For example detailing what loses the squadron took gives readers an idea of what the likely-hood of him surviving or not is. Monsbee's article is by no means perfect, for example it could use more images, and there are elements that could arguably be cut down, but I'd like you to take a look at it and use it as a basis (try not to copy and paste anything though) for some of the expansion I'd like to see here. If you have any questions or need guidance on anything then feel free to ask here, on IRC or on my talk page. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:33, December 29, 2017 (UTC)
- Wow! That's a lot of information. I'll do my best, I'm just worried that my Poletec GAN will have to be moved to Featured haha. Anyway, I'll add an image to Monsbee's article soon to save you the trouble. Banana32 (talk) 18:00, December 29, 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, I added the main information. I believe the article is still eligible for CAN. Banana32 (talk) 21:12, December 29, 2017 (UTC)
- The article is now over 250 words long so it will need to be split into sections (Intro, Biography, Personality and traits, Equipment) and moved to GAN. Ayrehead02 (talk) 22:23, December 29, 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, but I might not be able to get to it soon. I'll try to do it by next week if that's okay. Banana32 (talk) 22:29, December 29, 2017 (UTC)
- Of course that's ok, you're free to work on articles whenever you like before nominating them. In the meantime I'm going to archive this nomination if that's alright with you? Ayrehead02 (talk) 23:31, December 29, 2017 (UTC)

Fixed some small issues with the article. Can't seem to find anything wrong with it after those fixes. Fits the CAM criteria.--Vitus InfinitusTalk 16:51, December 23, 2017 (UTC)
