Another one that needs to stay at Wookieepedia. Absolutely zero significance, only appearing in a literal handful of comics. Delete. TNstingray (talk) 16:38, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
- Disambiguate there are several dabmentions [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=500&offset=0&profile=default&search=jaxxon&title=Special:Search&ns0=1] and this is an alternate spelling of the name Jaxon (name); and a see also for Jaxon (disambiguation) and Jackson (disambiguation) -- 67.70.25.175 (talk) 03:55, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
- Retarget to Jaxon (name) or Jaxon; could also do with removing the mention of the entry at the Jaxon dab page and elsewhere, as there is nothing at the target article of significance to warrant it. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:42, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. I'm kind of surprised there is no entry at the list page, since Jaxxon is fairly notorious as a character design in Star Wars and has recently shown up in SW media in the past couple of years. I could see there being sufficient RS to justify an entry and therefore a redirect. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 06:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
::I've re-added the entry to the list with some additional sourcing. I think there's enough coverage to keep it as a list entry. Okay with a hatnote there to the other suggestions given here. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:29, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
:::{{tqq|As such, the list contains only information from the Skywalker Saga films, the 2008 animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and other films, shows, or video games published or produced after April 2014.}} This is the current list criteria, which the character does not meet as he does not appear in the visual medium. TNstingray (talk) 12:11, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
::::Which makes no sense because the article says {{tqq|This incomplete list of characters from the Star Wars franchise contains only those which are considered part of the official Star Wars canon, as of the changes made by Lucasfilm in April 2014}} and the comic books are very much part of that canon. There's no principled reason why minor characters who appear briefly in an animated show or video game are included, but characters with significant and in-depth real world coverage and analysis like Doctor Aphra and Jaxxon (less news media hits because older, but more coverage in academic books and articles because of his prominence of Disney's less than stellar development of its non-movie characters) are not. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 15:38, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
:::::Maybe the list criteria needs to be changed. I have slowly worked on separate drafts of characters for different sections of canon: OT, PT, Clone Wars, etc., to match the existing list for The Mandalorian, as the current big list is quickly becoming too broad. I would agree with you that there is no principled reason why minor background characters should be included; hence why I have removed many of them and requested the deletion of many redirects. Doctor Aphra appears to be significant enough to include. Jaxxon is not, as his coverage is neither significant nor in-depth. There was merely a reaction to his cartoon design, which is a generic reaction to most additions to Star Wars canon (recall Ewoks, Gungans, Lurmens, Babu Frik, Noti ...) TNstingray (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
::::::Like I said, Jaxxon gets coverage by books from reputable publishers because he is so symbolic of the ridiculousness of early Marvel Star Wars comics. I'm undecided if it's enough for notability purposes, but it should be enough for inclusion somewhere on Wikipedia.

- Convert to a dab page. Mayor Eo Jaxxon is a main character in Moonbeam City, Tigrr Jaxxon in Bolts and Blip and Jaxxon Pierce the protagonist of Divinity (film). There is also a borderline real musician named Harriet Jaxxon who pops up in three articles, e.g. List of Creamfields line-ups and has a short article in [http://www.dmcworld.net/back-to-mine/back-to-mine-with-harriet-jaxxon/ DMCWorld magazine]. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:27, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Retarget to Jaxon (name) as a spelling variation and add Star Wars Jaxxon stuff to said dab This has become a common name variation of Jackson (name), so it should probably deal with the name first over Star Wars canon, whatever that may be. Nate • (chatter) 15:24, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
