Chronological

I reorganized the page into a chronological format, putting the episode III information first, then the episode IV information.

Data Block

I added a good pic of Tantive IV and a technical block about it too. I got half of my info from Star Wars: Databank and half of it from Star Wars: Vessels and Vehicles.

If anything is a bit wrong on there, which there isn't, please don't delete the whole thing cause it took me ages to do!

Last Voyage

Are we sure about that? I could've swor I saw it in Return of the Jedi during the Alliance briefing. Einlanzer - 11:08am US central

I guess I'm right, as I saw on the SW databank it has it listed under Episode VI appearances.

I just deleted that section because it is irrelevant to this article. Perhaps it's relevant to the Corellian Corvette article but not this one as it is not this ship. I was always under the assumption that the ship was simply destroyed. b_cubed 16:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Cultural impact

I have vague recollections of hearing multiple people in documentaries, retrospectives, etc. talking about being amazed and awed by the opening of A New Hope, when the tiny corvette is chased by the huge Star Destroyer. But, I'm drawing a blank on a specific recording or writing to cite. Can any of the, I dunno, six people ;-) who've got this page on their watchlist think of anything specific? Cross-posting to the WikiProject talk page. --EEMeltonIV 02:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Having just begun listening to the radio drama of Star Wars (which, until Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm was taken as "canon"), I note that the pronunciation of the ship's name is "TAN-tiv-ee". This is presumably an adaptation, by Lucas, of the English word "tantivy", which is a ride at a fast gallop. Someone more fluent in the International Phonetic Alphabet and its use on Misplaced Pages may be interested in inserting a pronunciation guide. --Dystopos (talk) 18:59, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Notability and merge

Per Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Tantive IV (3rd nomination) and previous AfD, there are serious concerns this meets WP:FICTION/WP:GNG. In the end, Wookiepedia coverage of such fancruft topics is always superior, I think we should merge this to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Tantive IV (3rd nomination).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:56, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

  • Oppose That discussion established that there was no consensus for merger let alone deletion of anything. WP:FICTION is an essay which also lacks consensus. Persisting with this is disruptive per WP:FORUMSHOP; WP:DELAFD; WP:STICK, &c. The nominator appears to be here to promote the interests of Wookiepedia – a commercial website which exists to sell advertising and make profits for its shareholders. If we were to delete or merge topics which are covered by other media and sites then we would have to close Misplaced Pages because everything here is supposed to be based on other sources. Andrew D.

  • Support merge The list needs to be reformatted, of course (38 level 1 headings on mostly one-line entries is ridiculous), but that's not a matter for this talk page; apart from that, I see no reason why this content couldn't be merged. It should be noted that Andrew Davidson's above comment consists almost entirely of ad hominem attacks on Piotrus, and does not present a coherent argument in favour of keeping this as a separate article.

I should also point out that That discussion established that there was no consensus for merger is a misrepresentation of that discussion AFD is not the place to discuss mergers, and so the lack of consensus for a merger being established at AFD doesn't mean there wouldn't be consensus for such at the proper forum. "Merge" was an alternate proposal alluded to by some of those who opposed deletion, but others did not explicitly support or oppose it, hence "no consensus for a merge".
