Total fancruft, not notable, entirely fantastic. Someone should try to source this multiply--not sure... lots of google hits, but that hardly is a good standard for fancruft-Kmaguir1 06:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, I like Star Wars, but I agree this is fancruft. JIP | Talk 07:19, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and add sources - almost all of this is canon, all it needs is some sourcing, not a deletion. Perhaps merge the two articles. Here is the source backing up almost all the claims in the article: [1]Wooty 07:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Canon, like what? Religious canon? It's trooper armor for clones, clones who do not exist, and armor which does not exist. Does their armor that doesn't exist, and a detailed examination of that non-existence, convey any content to the non-existent clones, or the very-existent drones obsessed with this fancruft? If they have Phase II clone trooper armor (which is next up, by the way), does that protect them from more non-existent things? Merging is an option in addition to deletion, but deletion is the only rational option. Pure, unadulterated fancruft.-Kmaguir1 08:24, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If non-existence was a sufficient criterion for deletion, we would have to delete literally tens of thousands of articles related to Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, and so on. And that's using "literally" in its correct form, not as a synonym for "figuratively". However, I agree with you that this particular article is fancruft.

• Delete The information is too trivial to deserve a separate article; if it's to be in Wikipedia at all it needs to be set in the context of a broader Star Wars related piece. BTLizard 08:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into an article on clone trooper armor. There's no particular reason why we need an article on every phase, but given that there's decent coverage from multiple sources (as opposed to, say, this pile o' fancruft), I can strongly support at least bringing the armor up.

Comment - I'd be willing to make a article similar to List of Ranged Weapons in Star Wars, except for armor and types, from the KOTOR armor and weaves all the way up to clone and stormtrooper armor. Wooty 21:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into Clone trooper. MikeWazowski 13:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into Clone Trooper. Atlantic Gateways 01:16, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - no need for separate articles on fictional armor. BlueValour 02:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect. Phase I clone trooper armor + Phase II clone trooper armor into Clone trooper. —Encephalon 21:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
