Revision as of 00:04, 4 May 2005

Template:Vfd

IKS Devisor

  • Probably more of a speedy delete that anything, however, the IKS Devisor (and subsequently the redirect IKC Devisor) were initally taken from the Star Trek Concordance as actually being the name of the D7 class that appeared in "More Tribbles, More Troubles". However, I just viewed said episode and did a fairly extensive write-up on it and I caught zero reference to the term Devisor whatsoever -- I even made a special point to catch it. This suggests that the Concordance's use of the name came from an early script draft or some other unconfirmed source. Since this cannot be accepted as canon -- this article should probably be deleted. A footnote has been (or will be, rather) added to "More Tribbles, More Troubles" page regarding this as well. --Gvsualan 03:38, 4 Mar 2005 (GMT)
    • Does anyone have access to a script for "More Tribbles, More Troubles"? If the final script had, say, a reference to the ship as "Devisor" in the description of an establishing shot for the animators, then I'd say that was canon enough. We've got other articles based on scripts alone without on-screen mention (e.g. Na'kuhl). --Josiah Rowe 04:09, 4 Mar 2005 (GMT)
  • My best guess, is maybe it came from Allan Dean Foster's novelization of the episode? Maybe? --Gvsualan 04:25, 4 Mar 2005 (GMT)
    • It is indeed mentioned in Log Four. No vote - he must have got the name from somewhere, surely? I doubt he would make the name up in this instance. -- Michael Warren | Talk 18:06, 6 Mar 2005 (GMT)
      • Comment: Is there a TAS script reference possible? it is likely that the Devisor could have been named by the episode writer in the script, a valid resource for keeping the name in my opinio -- especialy if it was from a cut scene -- Captain Mike K. Bartel


Kilogram

  • Kilogram -- See discussion at: Talk:Kilogram. No real Trek-relevancy, might better be deleted or redirected to our List of measurements. -- Cid Highwind 09:48, 6 Apr 2005 (EDT)
    • Delete. --Gvsualan 02:13, 8 Apr 2005 (EDT)
    • Delete. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 19:23, 9 Apr 2005 (EDT)
    • keep -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 09:46, 14 Apr 2005 (EDT)
    • Delete this is a real life subject with not trek value, if a ref to the Kilogram is needed just direct to Wikipedia --TOSrules 02:05, 15 Apr 2005 (EDT)

USS ...

  • USS Blackthorne,USS Stalwart,USS Incessant,USS Redoubtable,USS Susquehanna,USS Red Cloud,USS Osceola,USS Nez Perce,USS Mateo,USS Jupiter,USS Geronimo,USS Black Elk,USS Krotus,Griffin-class,USS Agincourt -- all non-canon, apparently from Decipher RPG. -- Cid Highwind 11:27, 10 Apr 2005 (EDT)
    • Delete, even though I do attend Susquehanna University... --Brad Rousse 15:16, 10 Apr 2005 (EDT)
    • Delete. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 00:24, 11 Apr 2005 (EDT)
    • Delete. — THOR 19:37, 11 Apr 2005 (EDT)
      • Having deleted all of these a few times before, is there any way we could simply leave the pages and redirect to the appropriate non-canon (but licensed product, ie comics, games or novels) article that information on these ships could be added to, thus directing new users to the appropriate place to add non-canon info on this site. I have created a possible example at USS Jupiter. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 12:12, 12 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Various /temp pages

  • The following might have been forgotten after copyvio procedure or main page discussions. Check if still necessary, then Delete/Move (vote in the subsections below). -- Cid Highwind 08:14, 15 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Hirogen history events

  • Hirogen history - how necessary is this? There is already a section in the Hirogen article and it's not that big. It just seems to me that unnecessarily breaking off the history section from the Hirogen article creates another space wasting article in the mix that we may or may not really need. --Gvsualan 18:54, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge, leave Hirogen history as a redirect -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk
Is this something we need to wait 5 days for before we can making the redirect official? --Gvsualan 19:37, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
It's perfectly acceptable if you edit the article while it is undergoing a deletion discussion, for example, remove all the information, and copy it into the Hirogen article, and write the redirect link -- just leave the deletion tag on top until 4/20 please -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 22:59, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Iden's Rebellion

  • Iden's Rebellion - there is already section in the Hirogen article for this as well. Should this be moved and made into a redirect as well? --Gvsualan (now with boots on...) 19:37, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • I would think so. I'm backing up my old buddy Gvsualan. Tyrant 21:27, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)Tyrant
    • Keep there are a lot of list of military conflicts on this site -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 22:59, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Standard Manuever

  • Standard Manuever - I know this has been on the chopping block before (Talk:Standard Manuever), however I don't see where any specific episode references fit into this, nor have I hear the term necessarily used on Trek before. Additionally, with the creation of evasive maneuvers, much of what 'standard maneuver' is trying to say is a said in 'evasive manuevers'. --Gvsualan 07:52, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 04:38, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep. --Endymion (Original contributer of Attack Pattern article) This is a valid entry, if not overly detailed. It is still a necessary part of starship meanuvering and is silly not to have some form of article addressing it. If more information becomes available, then it should be added, but why just leave a gaping hole in the topic? --66.142.47.225 22:29, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • I'd like to rename it or merge it with evasive maneuver -- i think that title could use an adjustment, as not all maneuvers are evasive -- there should be a page for both the the so-called "standard maneuvers" and the "evasive maneuvers" -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 23:28, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • created standard maneuvers --Gvsualan 07:37, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Bartok

  • Bartok - all around seems to be the work of someones imagination. --Gvsualan 19:37, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Antiquark

  • Antiquark - Trek relevance? --Gvsualan 19:37, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • DeleteTHOR 19:52, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete (and also remove the wikilink from Physics and Chemistry) -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 23:13, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)


Thill/Dalibardadian Plains

  • Thills and the Dalibardadian Plains weren't mentioned in Mortal Coil. A Googling reveals that "Roast Thill" is mentioned in Star Trek Cookbook and apparently nowhere else. Nothing turned up when I searched for the Plains; maybe the Cookbook mentioned it, I don't know. At any rate, I believe both of these articles should go. Randee15 00:40, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unborn Child

  • Unborn Child - this "character" doesn't need it's own separate, rather ambigious entry, IMO. Information is best preserved in the articles on James T. Kirk and Miramanee. -- Michael Warren | Talk 05:51, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Arcturus

  • Arcturus -- there are a lot of starships named after things (like the São Paulo vote), but this is two-degrees of separation from that! I see no Trek value to it, unless it is the canon homeworld of the Arcturians, which otherwise needs to be indicated. --Gvsualan 11:19, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • With this and the topics listed below, I think the problem is that many of these topics have been wikilinked from some articles, leading new users to believe they are subjects which should be covered on MA. Perhaps it would be best to try and weed these out, particularly from Physics and Chemistry and subtopics of Stellar Cartography. Clearly, obscure topics like the physics ones listed below or articles for cities which have starship namesakes do not really belong, but I'm on the fence about common or famous astronomical objects, just because Trek is so closely connected to astronomy. It seems like it would be better to have a brief in-house reference to such topics rather than referencing Wikipedia all the time. I'm voting to keep for now, but would be interested in hearing other takes on this. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 03:33, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Annihilation, Gauge Bosons, Gluon, Antineutron

  • Annihilation - what the deuce is this? --Gvsualan 18:56, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Gauge Bosons, Gluon, Antineutron - more non-relevant entries from User:Cvalentine. --Gvsualan 13:43, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete, but see my note above concerning this particular problem. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 03:33, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Annihilation - Delete - annihilation refers to the complete destruction of anything, not only the mutual destruction of matter and antimatter. The other articles can be deleted or redirected to a scientific Wiki site.--Scimitar 11:33, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Cloaking

  • Cloaking - First, the information seems to be already covered (in more depth) in Cloaking device. Second, it mainly appears to be copied from startrek.com (even though the source is listed). --umrguy42 02:15, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete The article doesn't mention about the act of 'cloaking' and is a copy of information. -- Enzo Aquarius 02:35, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Remove copyright vio and redirect to cloaking device -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 03:33, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • If it is a copy vio then why is it listed here? Remove copyright vio and redirect to cloaking device -- Kobi - (Talk) 11:50, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Redirect to cloaking device as suggested. Content of article is already mentioned in cloaking device.--Scimitar 11:33, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

U.S.S. Righteous

Bijani

  • Bijani - Non-canon. Delete (Only linked to from non-canon U.S.S. Righteous). -- Cid Highwind 22:46, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete --Gvsualan 07:37, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Move relevant content to Star Trek: Borg and delete. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 22:36, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Adamant class

Adamant class - Interesting starship class, though uncanon to my knowledge. -- Enzo Aquarius 22:37, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

ISS Enterprise-D

  • ISS Enterprise-D - dual tagged as a copyvio, VfD'ed here as recreation not appropriate. -- Michael Warren | Talk 12:10, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • also ISS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) and ISS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E). -- Michael Warren | Talk 13:26, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete --Gvsualan 07:37, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Maybe we could leave these as redirects to a list of non-canon starship references so that new users will be directed to the proper novels or comics article to place the information about the ship. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 07:43, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 22:36, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Beer

  • Beer - Much like Michelob - some true history and senseless speculation. Seems to be a joke of some sort. -- Dmsdbo 22:31, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep the article, rewrite it to reflect that beer has appeared on Star Trek (see Michelob) -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 01:18, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep -- Beer has been shown on Trek. Maybe only a few times, but it was still shown. -- Enzo Aquarius 01:26, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep --Gvsualan 07:37, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep I wanted to let the members decide, and what is there now seems fine. -- Dmsdbo 13:50, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Michelob

  • Michelob - Was garbage, looked like phony advertising. Has been cleaned and the page is now blank. You can see what was there by checking the past revision. -- 70.24.87.51 22:23, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • What was there needed editing, not blanking and deletion -- Michelob appeared in Star Trek IV. I vote to Keep the article, even though I don't consider this deletion proceeding valid unless it was initiated by a registered user, not an IP address.. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 01:18, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep --Gvsualan 07:37, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep It's now perfectly fine -- Dmsdbo 13:50, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

USS Falcon

cc

  • cc -- as with kilogram, seems to be a subject too generic for Memory Alpha. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 22:36, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Undecided -- My only comment is that unlike kilogram, this is refered to constantly in most incarnations of the show. Perhaps it requires expansion, with comments about hyposprays, etc? I'm still on the fence. -- Dmsdbo 14:29, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Kemacite

  • kemacite - duplication of kemocite. Change to a redirect. route56 02:06, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Redirecting does not require a VfD. Simply do the redirect yourself. -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Utopia Prime

  • Utopia Prime - another fan RPG. Said organisations are not suitable for inclusion at MA. -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete agree with above 100% -- Dmsdbo 19:16, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I am the writer and I msut say I didn't know this, if it isn in violation with the rules of Memory-Alpha delete it. If not please let it stay there

Constitution-class registry numbers

  • Constitution-class registry numbers - this appears to be a personal essay on the evolution and treatment of said registries in fandom. For one, this is the wrong POV for Memory Alpha, and covers areas that are not valid resources. In addition, we already have an appropriate background note on Constitution class that more than serves our purposes. Whilst it's certainly good, and detailed, it doesn't belong here. -- Michael Warren | Talk 20:23, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete Even though the title Constitution class registries would be more appropriate to make this a Category:Lists article, I can't see the need for a separate article to list the handful of known registries -- they fit nicely in a subsection of Constitution class. The main registry list at Federation starship registries is sufficient to cross reference some of these -- and could be expanded. Also, as an article with a plural title, it should simply exist to illustrate a list of links to other articles -- not presenting off-topic information on the subject. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 20:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
