Notes (2018)

The Lalendrian reference is part of an Amber Zone adventure, and is this but does not qualify as a throw away reference.

- Tjoneslo (talk) 09:46, 20 October 2018 (EDT)

What qualifies something as a throwaway reference? Are there rules?

- Maksim-Smelchak (talk) 22:38, 20 October 2018 (EDT)

There are two criteria for throw-away reference: Length and context.
  • The text mentioning the race (or other item) is a sentence or less
  • The article around the mention is unrelated to or on another topic.
The classic example of this is Eliyoh, mentioned in the Imperial Encyclopedia (p. 29) in a discussion of the Imperial Sunburst. Tjoneslo (talk) 07:15, 21 October 2018 (EDT)

Thanks.

  • Interesting to learn your definition.
