I don't want to be rude, but...[edit]

Does this really need its own page...? Even the page refers to her as a minor character. Should probably be folded into List of Star Wars characters as covered in WP:FAILN and WP:MERGEREASON, right?

I know we have a lot of Star Wars fans here, but Wikipedia is not Wookieepedia, and we're also not a place for Disney to promote their projects.

I agree. ZeBadger (talk) 02:36, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be deleted[edit]

This article was made in haste soon after The Force Awakens was released with the assumption this character would contribute a lot to the story through further films and have long lasting cultural influence. Now that The Last Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019) have come and gone, she ultimately ended up being a very minor character with little to no greater cultural impact outside of the hardcore Star Wars fandom.

There are characters in other films and television shows with far greater cultural relevancy than Maz Kanata who do not have their own Wikipedia page, so Maz Kanata shouldn't either. ZeBadger (talk) 02:35, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
