Rebel Troop Carrier[edit]

Star Wars sub-sub-trivial. Unexpandable.

  • Merge and redirect to vehicle of Star Wars or somesuch. Otherwise delete. Rje 16:42, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • How about letting smaller things like this be added to a single "Misc vehicles" entry? VT-16 18:36, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Intrigue 00:26, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, personal POV over whether one would like this information to be in a small encyclopædia is irrelevant; this listing does not seem to have been made on grounds in line with policy. James F. (talk) 02:16, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete as subtrivial. I was a big Star Wars fan for a while, and have never heard of this thing. It is my POV that no encyclopedia, even an extremely LARGE encyclopedia, would ever need this. In fact I wonder if it even has an entry in the official Star Wars encyclopedia. Isomorphic 10:42, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. This is subtrivial fancruft. Furthermore, this seems very suspiciuosly like original research in that I believe this person may have just seen a random vehicle in the background and decided to attach this name to it. I cannot recall any West End Game product that has named these vehicles, and no other source would have expanded on something seen in the background of a few shots in those movies. This most likely is a Ubrikkian Personnel Skiff Model IV, which appears in Episode IV as well and gets a write-up in the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook, but in that case, this article is in the wrong place. I feel all of this is moot, since fancruft like this should just be eliminated, but this detailed analysis is for the benefit of those who may not realize that the subject of the article itself is of questionable authenticity.

    • Thanks for the information, Indrain - I hope those who vote an uncritical keep on almost every article can learn something from it. Elf-friend 08:33, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete per Indrian's findings challenging the verifiability of this information. Rossami (talk) 06:30, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • I´ve put it in with other obscure vehicles. Apparantly, different sources call it different names, troop carrier, skiff, hover sled (http://dutch-starwars.com/). I chose troop carrier, because that is actually mentioned in the movie. 62.92.82.10 15:15, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
