Proposal regarding season article naming

There is a proposal to change the naming conventions of TV season articles from the current practice of XXX (season 1) to XXX, season 1 or XXX season 1. As such a change would affect a substantial number of articles, you are invited to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television) § Move TV seasons from parenthetical disambiguation to comma disambiguation. Thank you. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:22, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Update: Please see Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television) § Follow-up RfC on TV season article titles. Thanks. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:18, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Tales of the Jedi article title

With the announcement of the second installment being known as Tales of the Empire, and the press release from Disney it is "the second installment of the Tales franchise", there is currently an informal discussion on the talk page about moving the article to Star Wars: Tales. Editors can weigh in on thoughts here. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Star Wars episode articles

I have started discussions at Talk:The Mandalorian season 3#Episode articles and Talk:The Book of Boba Fett#Episode articles about draftying or redirecting their episode articles. Any thoughts are welcome. - adamstom97 (talk) 11:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

I have started a similar discussion at Talk:List of Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes#Episode articles for anyone interested. - adamstom97 (talk) 13:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Kiner Music - create two separate pages for the siblings, or one article for the duo?

Kevin Kiner's children Deana & Sean work together under Kiner's Music (formerly Kiner Brothers) for various Star Wars properties. Based on their IMDB pages, they exclusively work as a duo. Would it be best to make them a page together (under Kiner Music), or give them separate pages?

I do not want people to confuse Kevin Kiner with Kiner Music, which is separate…since their father works on additional properties.

However I do not think there's enough information on them each individually to warrant individual articles. I believe it would work best as a duo article. Is anyone working on a page for them? Squiddyonwiki (talk) 09:41, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Is there enough information and reliable sources to justify a page for the two of them? If so then that would be a logical first step, no need to try give them individual pages if all their work is together. The same is done for famous writers and directors who work together. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Character pages

Hello! I've been doing a lot of work editing pages for Star Wars characters, and I wouldn't mind a little help. Some of the pages are in pretty bad shape. If you're interested in helping, let me know! Wafflewombat (talk) 02:48, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

New leading image for Rey

Another request for you all!

I started a talk page discussion about a new leading image for the Rey page, but after two weeks nobody has responded. I was hoping to hear from other editors before boldly uploading a new image. Would you mind giving me your thoughts?

Thanks! Wafflewombat (talk) 04:58, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Insufficient assertions of notability on multiple articles

@Wafflewombat: @TAnthony: Hi, just wanted to create this thread for both raising awareness and to be able to point to it with the "more sources needed" templates. Just to get ahead of it, Princess Leia was mistagged by me, so that removal was perfectly A-Okay. For the others, namely Darth Vader, Han Solo, Count Dooku, Chewbacca, Admiral Piett, Obi-wan Kenobi, Nien Nunb, Wedge Antilles, Luke Skywalker, Grand Moff Tarkin, C-3PO, and Darth Maul. I also added the notability template to Quinlan Vos, Tobias Beckett, and Saw Gerrera. Now, this doesn't mean I think they aren't notable - I would be surprised if Saw Gerrera wasn't - but as it is, I think it is fair to still question it, whereas questioning, say, Obi-wan Kenobi as someone who knows Star Wars is honestly a pretty ludicrous thing to do.

In the above articles, they all either have a complete lack of reception or have very little reception for how significant of characters they are. Vader and Piett, for example, having the same number of citations in reception is quite telling of this. I don't think this is a condemnation of any one editor or group of editors as much as it is that there is not the expectation that they need to worry about it. After all, no one is going to say that Darth Vader needs to be merged for not being notable enough. It's just an unfortunate case where, because Admiral Ackbar is a tougher sell, editors will put effort into that over the obvious ones. That's something that a lot of us at WP:VG are guilty of with our characters.

With that said, I don't have as much experience source searching for characters outside the video game space (I actually have a rudimentary tool for that: User:Cukie Gherkin/Source searching), so it's more of a slow go for me, and I'd have to figure out what film websites are good places to check for sources. If y'all can give me a nudge on that, that'd be fantastic. I don't know that I would actually be writing in any sources (don't know if I could really fit it in my schedule), but I would be fine doing the research so y'all have it at the ready. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
