- Kashyyyk (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is simply a repetition of the appearances of the planet in various Star Wars media, thus repeating those articles plot sections. It is trivial, duplicative, and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 22:51, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete for reasons Judgesurreal777 offers and redirect to Wookiee. Wookiee already has more encyclopedic, real-world information about Kashyyyk than the Kashyyyk article does. --EEMIV (talk) 23:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Why should we delete the edit history? --Explodicle (T/C) 16:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep due to undeniable notability. Maybe not as recognizable as Bespin or Yavin, but still fairly recognizable as far as fictional planets come, and it appears in multiple major works of fiction (movies, games, comics, novels, etc.). No reason to outright redlink this article. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 23:22, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Graaaaaahhhh! I mean, Redirect to Wookiee, which at least has some out-of-universe information. I can't seem to find anything out-of-universe for Kashyyyk. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Aspects of the Star Wars are encyclopedic. Few works of fiction have had multiple encyclopedias published dedicated to various aspects of them. What's good enough for multiple paper encyclopedias is surely good enough for the paperless encyclopedia. --Happy editing!

- Keep- I'd be somewhat surprised if there wasn't enough real world information out there on this world that a solid article could be made. If not enough can be found, redirect to the appropriate star wars planets list. Umbralcorax (talk) 03:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Wookie. I keep Coruscant or Tatooine, but this planet... Transwiki to Wookiepedia. Zero Kitsune (talk) 03:39, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Per pivotal subject/role in high profile and highly notable media - Video games, movies and animated television related to the star wars universe. Wisdom89 (T / C) 04:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as I am sure there are SW commentaries in sic-fi magazines etc. or could be merged into a List of Star Wars planets, and that is expanded from each. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - exists in multiple media so just as, if not more so, deserving as "Coruscant or Tatooine". Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 08:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep as subject appears significantly in multiple media, is one of the settings for one of the top-grossing films of all time, and now has several references from reliable third-party sources that go towards both verifiability and notability. - Dravecky (talk) 16:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Grand Roi, or merge and redirect to Wookie. Avruch T 21:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a setting for a major fiction. There is no excuse for deleting content that uould reasonably be expected in a comprehensive modern encyclopedia DGG (talk) 00:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Wookie. Protonk (talk) 07:46, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The sources given so far are: game walkthroughs, a fan wiki, Lucasfilm endorsed toys, a blog with the subtitle "Taking sci-fi and fantasy far, far too seriously", a review that briefly mentions the planet appears in Revenge of the Sith, and an article about the Star Wars Holiday Special which briefly mentions the planet. All that can be sourced here is "Kashyyyk is a fictional planet in the Star Wars series. Wookies live there." I don't see the need for a seperate article here. The out-of-universe information could be merged to List of Star Wars planets (K-L)#Kashyyyk, but I don't see the need for a stand-alone article. --Phirazo (talk) 17:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If you do any kind of Google search, you'll find published reliable sources. I don't see any need to delete here and as far as mergeable content, we don't merge and delete per Wikipedia:Merge and delete. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 17:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The objective standard to apply here for inclusion in the Wikipedia is verifiability as a setting repeated in several fictional works in the Stars Wars saga as the homeworld of a significant fictional character. This standard is met. 17:44, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
- Keep the page, but merge the most valuable info into Wookiee. If there's only trivia left after that, redirect to Wookiee.
