Deletion rationale
This follows:
- Trekmovie.com (22 February 2007)
- Seb's Raw Takes (24 May 2007)
- Ex Astris Scientia (7 November 2007)
It was my understanding that Memory Alpha is not a directory for other websites, sister sites, or otherwise.
If indeed it is felt that a non-canon redirect is necessary for the novel reference, then this could be turned into a redirect to Memory Prime, but I'm not sure that is something we should start to encourage. --Alan 00:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Discussion
- I'm mixed on this. Memory Beta is practically a sister project to Memory Alpha. Remember that they even changed their name in homage to us. This is one that I would rather keep. It isn't an unrelated website, like Trekmovie.com. --OuroborosCobra talk 01:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- What about creating a page Memory Alpha:Memory Beta, which explains that MB is our sister project, and whatnot? --- Jaz 01:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- We link to Wikipedia more than any other site, that practically makes them a sister site too. Jorg, Bernd and several other contributors here contribute to both Ex Astris and Trekmovie on several parallel topics, just like MB does with MA, but that doesn't matter. My point is: we have a link on the Main page for Memory Beta, and we have an About page that we could easily make reference to our sister site on. It's not like it's being totally ignored, nor that there isn't a more appropriate place to reference it that is not in our primary namespace. --Alan 01:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Linking to Wikipedia doesn't make Wikipedia a sister project. Contributing to Ex Atris doesn't make it a sister project. --OuroborosCobra talk 01:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. As Cobra said, it is not simply a link to an ordinary Trek-related website(which would merit a deletion), but a related project. It also could serve as a way to direct users to the correct place for their noncanon articles that they might post here. It could be a Memory Alpha page as Jaz suggests, but I don't think it should just go away.--31dot 02:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
