This article is entirely redundant to the Ewok article, as all Reception is related to Ewoks, and not Wicket. Outside of casting info, there really isn't anything that justifies a separation, especially since a source search yields practically nothing else in terms of Reception. I'd say either a merge or redirect to Ewok could be good AtD. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:01, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Ewok. The character is certainly notable, but the sourcing just isn't quite there. Every citation is either primary, non-RS, or not about the character but about Ewoks in general, as nom says. With better sourcing I could change my mind.

Keep Wicket W. Warrick. A notable character for sure. Was a main character in two made for TV movies (with theatrical releases outside North America) as well as two seasons of the Ewoks cartoon, and a large part of Star Wars marketing for the mid-1980s. I would suggest a few additions and citations be added, rather than outright deletion. May require some cleanup, but far less notable characters remain with pages in tact.

Could you show any of these sources illustrating notability? I'm willing to consider changing my stance, but my BEFORE showed nothing proving Wicket's independent notability from Ewoks as a species. Just because a character is important does not mean it automatically warrants an article, there need to be sources actively proving a character is notable instead of just a WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES argument.

Merge or redirect per WeirdNAnnoyed. This doesn't have WP:SIGCOV outside of the Ewoks, where it is already covered. Shooterwalker (talk) 04:27, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Ewok: Wicket W. Warrick is not independently notable from his fictional species. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 06:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
