All quotes seem to be taken from Starwars Wikia. Though they are licence-compatible with us (both under GFDL), no history is preserved or a link to the original website is given, so if it is the case, GFDL is violated. And there [src] is a link to a particular title so works as "source" indicator, here it doesn't. And moreover I am not sure a unsourced quote from copyrighted material can claim "fair use". So I would invite the community to examine this case. If this article shouldn't survive, I would say the decision may be applied to other two articles submitted from the same IP address, Ganner Rhysode (cleaned up by me, see the first revision) and Kyp Durron.--Aphaia 16:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, including the other two as well. ~ UDScott 19:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all three. These articles demonstrate why we don't favor fictional-character articles: they encourage editors to ignore sourcing requirements, leaving Wikiquotians no reasonable way to verify anything. Wikia, like all wikis, is not a reliable source. In fact, it's worse than no source because it misleads less experienced editors into thinking such citations are useful. Any properly sourced quotes from these characters should go into articles on the works they come from. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
