@Andrew Sheedy: what's your rationale for keeping this? Thadh (talk) 17:25, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

It's an extremely common term in works based in the Star Wars universe, and refers to a specific type of droid (humanoid, with translating abilities, etc.), which isn't apparent from a surface analysis. Maybe the definition could be improved, but it seems worth keeping (as an appendix entry, obviously). Andrew Sheedy (talk) 20:03, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

• Keep in appendixspace. It seems to be in use and idiomatic, meaning the only reason it does not deserve to be in mainspace is that it is fictional. — excarnateSojourner (talk · contrib) 19:55, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

@Thadh, could you speedy delete this page given that the same content is there at Citations:protocol droid? Thanks. ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 13:39, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

@Inqilābī: I'm afraid I agree with Andrew above: Our CFI doesn't yet allow for this word, but that doesn't mean we can't put its meaning in the appendix. The definition is not repeated in the citations page. In any case, this doesn't warrant a speedy deletion. Thadh (talk) 21:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
