Deletion of Palpatine's chancellorship (2nd nomination)

Comment: or merge, because concerns notable character from incredibly notable media.  Plus, nominating the article as "cruft" violates #I_do_not_like_it.  And I'm surprised Jay would say no "sources beyond plot of the films" when Palpatine's chancellorship would also appear in the video games and comics of the Expanded Universe.  Finally, the nomination seems incomplete as this page should also link to the earlier discussion.  Sincerely
Stance: keep
