From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was BJAODN. User:MacGyverMagic has carried out the execution of Maxx, but did not close the debate here, so it is done now. Also, if anyone is sorry to see the article go, take a look at the entry in Bad Jokes And Other Deleted Nonsense. Sjakkalle 06:52, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Uses powers from Legend of Zelda and Dragonball Z. Right. Can we say Mary Sue? Delete as hoax, vanity, fanfic, RPG character or just plain nonsense. Or all of the above. Radiant_* 16:11, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete non-canonical. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:32, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with Radiant. Vanky 16:33, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete ... should have been a speedy, it's a feeble joke. - DavidWBrooks 16:38, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- From the article: "Screaming "Ka-Meh-Ha-Meh-Ha!" adds to the effect of the attack." Okay, then, Ka-Meh-Ha-Meh-Ha-Delete! as almost certain vanity, lame Mary Sue fanfic ("started off as a screen name and evolved from there"), non-canonical, no potential to become encyclopedic even if this kid somehow got a job with LucasArts.

- It should be noted that in early 90's Sega and Nintendo games (Metroid? Chrono Trigger? Mario?) it isn't the "Argh!!!!" that adds to the effect, but saying the name of the attack in full that makes it work. Invariably, such attacks have a somatic component as well, but rarely a material component. However, in the case of "Crossbow attack!", a bolt is expended. Alphax τεχ 18:02, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
- <grin> yup. I remember a DBZ parody where the warriors kept shouting punch when punching. Radiant_* 09:48, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
- This has spread to Transformers cartoons as well. For the last couple of years, Transformers characters have needed to shout transform! in order to transform. Somehow they forgot how they managed to do it without shouting for almost four years. 85.76.152.179 16:19, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Some of the minor Star Wars characters nominated for VfD are OK, but this isn't even a Star Wars character. It's a Star Wars fan character, not even canonical. Looks like someone's character from a fanfic or a MMORPG. The article's text even describes Maxx Skywalker as the greatest warrior ever, without any imperfections, making him look like a Mary Sue. It isn't even an interesting description as it only talks about how good Maxx Skywalker is at fighting. He could be a combat droid for all the article tells us. — JIP | Talk 08:10, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Definitely not Star Wars when he "was originally started as a screen name". -- Riffsyphon1024 08:12, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per User:Radiant!. cesarb 21:24, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Nothing else needs to be said that hasn't already been said. WhiteBoy 11:03, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Or should that be "anniahlate"? Clearly, the author can't stop thinking about Maxx Skywalker. Reading the article, I think that (i) Maxx Skywalker is a mammal, (ii) Maxx Skywalker fights all the time, and (iii) the purpose of the Maxx Skywalker is to flip out and kill Jawas. And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Jedi! grendel|khan 16:26, 2005 Mar 22 (UTC)
- I have to agree. This article is actually so bad I've become addicted to it. I can't stop reading it over and over again and laughing at how poorly "Maxx Skywalker" is described. Perhaps this should go to BJAODN? — JIP | Talk 08:18, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep-extremely encyclopedic, this guy has been in at least 3 fanfics, his attacks are so cool, Starwars needs more dragonballZ
