*[[Celsius]]. Nothing links to it, and it's dead end. Any info that could be on the page isn't really related to Trek. -- [[User:Mjwilco|Mjwilco]] 20:57, 16 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 
**Celsius should go. ''Kelvin'' should take its place, with a reference to the relationship between C and K. Kelvin is used in ST, after all. -- ([[User:Toddas|Toddas]] 16:57, 17 Oct 2004 (CEST))
 
***Celsius is used all the time, too. invalid point. if C goes, K should go, too, unless it's prominently mentioned somewhere; for example, when Kes made the tea boil under tuvok's supervision ([[VGR]]: [[Cold Fire]]), the doctor later states she elevated his body temperature by 39° C; but is that enough to have an article about the unit? IMHO, no. only if the unit itself has some story point in Trek, an article should be created (say a couple of officers debate why starfleet uses C and not F). correct me if i got something wrong, i'm new here. --[[User:Kamagurka|kamagurka]] 22:25, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)

Pages suggested for deletion

  • Class C-5 -- I do not believe that this is a valid classification. "C-5" seems to be part of the nebula's name ("McAllister C-5 Nebula") in "Chain of Command", and its classification in dialogue is a "protostellar nebula". -- EtaPiscium 02:27, 18 Oct 2004 (CEST)


  • Photonic torpedoes -- duplicate of Photonic torpedo. Davok 20:42, 23 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • Common link possibility. Redirects are more appropriate in this case. Redirected to Photonic torpedo. Also note that article was not a duplicate of the aforementioned page. -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:12, Oct 28, 2004 (CEST)


  • Phase cannons -- duplicate of Phase cannon. Davok 20:44, 23 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • Common link possibility. Redirects are more appropriate in this case. Redirected to Phase cannon. Also note that article was not a duplicate of the aforementioned page. -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:12, Oct 28, 2004 (CEST)


  • Xenophobia -- No relation to Star Trek. Davok 20:48, 23 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • Keep it, Xenophobia, is a definition of certain races, as Xenophobe's. --TOSrules 23:15, Oct 23, 2004 (CEST)
    • Keep, TOSrules is absolutely right. Xenophobia relates to many species in the Trek Universe, including humans right after the Xindi attack. -- Krevaner 00:07, 24 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • Article at time of nomination was not suitable for MA (no Trek references, sub-stub at best). Now, with the additional information, it is borderline at best. Cleanup required, reference required, more examples needed. -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:12, Oct 28, 2004 (CEST)
      • It's what's known as a stub --TOSrules 09:43, Oct 30, 2004 (CEST)


  • Orion's Belt -- I don't think that a part of a constellation really deserves its own article. Unless it was referenced onscreen, it should be removed. At the moment, it is only linked from two of the stars forming the belt... -- Cid Highwind 16:20, 26 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • Unless valid canon references can be given that mention the phenomenon, delete. If kept, it should definitely be mentioned that this arrangement is only visible from Earth. -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:12, Oct 28, 2004 (CEST)
    • Kirk said it when directing Edith Keeler's view to the sky, pointed at a star in Orion's Belt and told her about it. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel
    • i incorporated your information in the article; i'm not sure wether i was right to italize what i did. should you correct it, please comment. --kamagurka 22:45, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • In that case, keep. -- Cid Highwind 00:24, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)


  • (Dr.) Fitzgerald - non-canon reference for name, naming convention error. -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:12, Oct 28, 2004 (CEST)
    • I made some research and found that it is canon according to Decipher's Star Trek CCG which works in collaboration with Paramount for the informations. The picture correspond to the character on screen so, keep. --- The VIP 19:01, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)
      • TheVIP, we are aware of this. At this time, Memory Alpha is only attempting to post articles with information derived from canon sources. As such, and non-filmed matter (such as a licensed company like Decipher and not the true Paramount productions. Any information about this unnamed character should go as a subheading of List of USS Voyager personnel under the /* Unnamed characters */ subdivision. Information about the Pocket Books novelization Pocket VGR:"Emissary (novel)" and the Star Trek Collectible Card Game named for him, as Fitzgerald, belongs in a footnote subheading, as its not a true canon reference-- Captain Mike K. Bartel 02:03, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • As Mike described, delete page but move any useful content to List of USS Voyager personnel. -- Cid Highwind 12:43, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)


  • Chicago - DeadEnd, practically useless, and we're not a geography database. no Trek relevance to be seen. --kamagurka 21:27, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • Keep, "Chicago Mobs of the 20's" A Peace of the Action need I say more? I am sure there are allot of TOS TNG references to the city that do not come to mind, I'd suggest referencing The Book, and marking it as a stub. --TOSrules 01:34, Oct 29, 2004 (CEST)
    • Keep, agreed. --Lsigler 12:55, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)



  • Accelerator/generator -- is there a way to restate this without a slash in the article title? besides, i can't even tell what series or episode this is from. when we have a source, i recommend moving to a new title and deleting this one, for the slash-character. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel
    • agreed. --kamagurka 22:27, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • No idea what this is about. Delete or at least Move. -- Cid Highwind 12:43, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • agreed unless there is a source for this? --Lsigler 12:55, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)


  • List of inhabited planets and List of uninhabited planets -- These should be consolidated under List of planets. I think the term "inhabited" is too subjective. A planet could have many cities and a population of billions (i.e. Earth), or just one colony (i.e. Norpin V), or just a starbase or outpost with no permanent population at all (i.e. Trelka V), or was one of those but no longer inhabited at all (i.e. Iconia, Omicron Theta), or have just one or two beings "inhabiting" them (i.e. Gravesworld, Vagra II), or truly uninhabited (i.e. Nelvana III). In most cases we can't even tell which of these categories a given planet currently falls under, and I don't think there's a reasonable way to sort them as "uninhabited" or "inhabited". Also, these lists duplicate the much more comprehensive lists already found on the specific territories and other pages. -- EtaPiscium 10:39, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)


  • Captain's prerogative -- the discussion on this. is this just a figure of speech, or deserving a separate article. i say delete it -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 12:30, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • As mentioned on the discussion page, I think this should be deleted. -- Cid Highwind 12:43, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • agreed... like putting an article for "T'Pol's tantrums" or "Worf's crankiness." delete. --Lsigler 12:55, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • support deletion. aside: is there some policy as to when concluded deletion debates can be purged from this page, or do the site admins do that periodically? --kamagurka 23:01, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • we need to ask someone in the military as to if Captains Prerogative is a figure of speech, or an actual expression the captains authority.--TOSrules 23:17, Oct 29, 2004 (CEST)
      • i agree. however, i have to say that while googleing this i found no evidence that it was more than a figure of speech.


  • List of Reman starships -- it seems pointless to have a list that has only one item in it. The Scimitar is already listed on List of other alien starships -- EtaPiscium 18:45, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • Delete, this should be a sub article of the page "List of Romulan starships" --TOSrules 22:30, Oct 29, 2004 (CEST)
      • i disagree that it should be included in Romulan ships, as the Remans are most certainly not romulans, but i agree that a list with one item is pointless. i therefore agree with Etapiscium to simply delete the article and leave the scimitar on the "other alien ships" list. --kamagurka 00:21, 30 Oct 2004 (CEST)
      • I have not seen Nemesis, but isn't Remus part of the Romulan Star Empire? --TOSrules 00:44, Oct 30, 2004 (CEST)
        • it is, but since the scimitar was built as a reman effort to overthrow the romulan government i think it can be called a romulan ship about as well as maquis vessels can be called federation ships. --kamagurka 01:28, 30 Oct 2004 (CEST)


  • Crew morale -- this isn't really a particular Trek topic and the concept is pretty self-explanatory. -- EtaPiscium 08:42, 30 Oct 2004 (CEST)
    • Note: The latest (and only) change comment says, "small explanation, important info to be added". That was in July. -- Mjwilco 21:59, 31 Oct 2004 (CET)


  • Nietzschean -- Though a concept by Gene Roddenberry it is not Star Trek -- Kobi 21:50, 31 Oct 2004 (CET)
    • Although Nietzsche was mentioned in Borderland, this article is full of non-canon stuff. Delete. Davok 10:58, 1 Nov 2004 (CET)
    • the fact aside that this has nothing to do with trek, "Nietzschean" isn't even a word. Delete. --kamagurka 12:30, 1 Nov 2004 (CET)
