Trade Federation[edit]

Not only do I not think that the topic of this article is notable enough for the mainstream Wikipedia (which is not a fanzine; this belongs on Wookiepedia), but there isn't a single citation in the article. Considering that this article has been here for several years, that's just embarrassing. There is even a template stating that the article needs sources that has been there since 2008 and, after all of these years, this fancruft article doesn't have a single reference. Aside from the lack of notability and verified information, I will also mention just how poorly written it is. Even if this article is rewritten entirely, I'm not sure it's notable enough to have its own article. The Trade Federation belongs on a list article or something.

Delete. The article only covers things from an in-universe perspective; no real world notability is asserted. It contains no independent references, or, indeed, any references at all. The only external links are to a Star Wars wiki and a 404 at starwars.com. It is a plot summary of some things that happened in the Star Wars universe. Fictional organizations need to have real world notability, but the article doesn't assert that this one does, just that it exists. That's not enough.

Delete. As per nom. As DarkKnight2149 rightly points out: Wookiepedia-articles do not belong on Wikipedia. -- Hybris1984 (talk) 13:51, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
