[edit] Darth Xenon

Darth Xenon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Hoax. Supposed sources cited don't reference subject. Subject does not appear on the official starwars.com database, subject is not present in official guidebooks cited, a google search for the name "Darth Xenon" lists mostly the Wikipedia entry, an entry at a Star Wars fanon wiki, and some roleplaying sites on livejournal. The creator of the article being User:Darth Xenon also raises suspicion that this is a vanity article. "Star Wars: Shadows" graphic novel listed as source does not appear on starwars.com or amazon.com. Also see Drath Xenon, apparently same article with an apparent typo in the name created by same editor. Unless some much more verifiable and substantial proof is found, this appears to be a hoax or fanon character created by the creator of the article. Wingsandsword 01:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment As nominator, I wish to add additional evidence:

[1] Said fanon content wiki listing the character. Fanon characters are not notable nor really verifiable.

[2] A google search for "Star Wars: Shadows" the supposed graphic novel source, and "Darth Xenon" only references the Wikipedia article in question.

• Delete both Darth and Drath (above in the log). Fan-based claims cannot be countenanced without hard evidence. YechielMan 01:17, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
• Snow Delete both per nom --Whsitchy 01:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Merging in other nomination. -- saberwyn 01:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC) Drath Xenon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Darth Xenon, hoax with supposed references that do not substantiate the substance of the article, appears to be a fan-created character from an online roleplaying game. Wingsandsword 01:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

• I have been bold and merged the two deletion discussions together. Directly above is the nomination reason given. The only differences between the two articles is that the correct "Darth" is formatted prettier, and I believe that this is one of the times when a combined nomination is better. -- saberwyn 01:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both. Fanon is generally non-notable unless unrelated independent third parties are discussing it. I'm not even sure if this would make a Star Wars wiki (if there is one). --Charlene 01:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment There is a Star Wars wiki: Wookieepedia [3] and you are correct, this wouldn't even meet criteria for inclusion in a dedicated Star Wars wiki.

• Delete as lacking WP:RS - looks like fan-based stuff. (I could've sworn I'd seen this get deleted before.) Tony Fox (arf!) 03:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Note that I have just tagged Drath Xenon for speedy since it's otherwise the same. Almost looks like a RPG creation. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 15:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as apparent fan-fic; if not fan-fic, then there are similar articles linked at Darth#Sith_Lords. JJL 17:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
