Let's face the facts: Gray Jedi 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Jedi>, Dark Jedi 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Jedi>, Dark side devotee 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_side_devotee>, Sith 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sith>, Jerec 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerec>, Aayla Secura 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aayla_Secura>, Tremayne (Star Wars) 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremayne_%28Star_Wars%29>, Xanatos (Star 
Wars) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanatos_%28Star_Wars%29>, Asajj 
Ventress <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asajj_Ventress>, Sev'rance Tann 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sev%27rance_Tann>, Yuuzhan Vong 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuuzhan_Vong>, *Lightsaber combat 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightsaber_combat>*, *Force-sensitive 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-sensitive>* and *Holocron 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocron>*, to name just a few. I love 
everything Star Wars, but notability and MOS guidelines that embrace 
this gallopping chaos must be rewritten sooner or later, ideally 
complementing each other.

Also, I appreciate that "notability" is an often-abused term, but on the 
other hand, any ambiguity in policies and guidelines is likewise prone 
to tendentious interpretation. I wouldn't usually argue for stricter 
guidelines, but here they are necessary.

And I don't quite understand why people are opposed to inter-article 
merging and intra-article merging (i.e. condensing material), seeing as 
the current guidelines let everything go unchecked. Guidelines would 
ideally not be necessary at all, but the current mess in articles about 
fiction doesn't allow for that luxury.
