@UnkreativeFrog: If you're suggesting a merge, you need to give a reason for your proposal, which you have not done. See WP:MERGEPROP and more specifically, WP:MERGEREASON. Simply applying the merge tag is not actually opening a discussion (not to mention, that the tag goes on the article, not the discussion). ButlerBlog (talk) 17:43, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

I suggest that List of The Mandalorian characters should be merged into this article as it doesn't really justifies its own separate article. UnkreativeFrog (talk) 17:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose - per GNG. Your stated justification for the merge ("it doesn't really justifies its own separate article") is arbitrary and without substantive reasoning based on our guidelines. I would oppose a merge on each of the 3 criteria under WP:NOTMERGE, but most specifically #3 (The topics are discrete subjects warranting their own articles, with each meeting the General Notability Guidelines). It certainly qualifies it for a stand-alone list under WP:GNG as it is cited with over 300 sources, which more than exceeds the standard of "significant coverage" under GNG. Beyond that, as a space Western, the Mandalorian list is of interest to a separate wikiproject (Westerns), whereas the general list is not. ButlerBlog (talk) 18:25, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose - The Mandalorian introduces a wide array of new characters each with their section on casting and character development.--TheVampire (talk) 21:39, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose per the claims that were made by @Butlerblog: and @TheVampire:. --Rtkat3 (talk) 23:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose per the other arguments on here. The Mandalorian has enough characters on its own, to justify being its own page. It's as simple as that.Historyday01 (talk) 16:55, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

More references

While I understand the removal of WP:FANSITEs as references[1] I do not think this article was improved by the removal of the episodes references. I understand if editors might prefer to link to episodes or to mention them using footnotes (or some other formatting) instead of full references but without specific episode details is is more difficult to check and verify that information that has been included is still correct. I would hope that the episode references would be restored in some form. -- 109.79.162.163 (talk) 05:37, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Durge back into the list

The character has appeared in the canon Marvel comics so it should best I think to put him back in here. Right? 0Detail-Attention215 (talk) 13:41, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Separating the list

I started several drafts to break up this character list. Feel free to contribute to them:

Draft:List of Star Wars Rebels characters

Each page would ideally discuss relevant information about their characters, complementing the lists that already exist for Mandalorian and Boba Fett. This page would act as a central hub similar to Characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. TNstingray (talk) 11:41, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Lego Star Wars Characters added to the list?

There are certain characters that are only seen in the star wars lego shows which were released recently. I am not sure if we should add them or not but most of them are from after 2014 which I would assume that would make them cannon but I am just asking first. 98.124.95.46 (talk) 21:45, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Lego Star Wars is sadly not canon. TNstingray (talk) 12:06, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

They should make it cannon 64.53.124.103 (talk) 13:23, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

We could make it cannon this is a list of Star wars characters and it you ignore the lego it just says Star wars 64.53.124.103 (talk) 14:27, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
