On another sore subject, there is the matter of articles based solely on material taken from Star Trek Encyclopedia.
By my count we have a very large selection of Federation starship classes that have never been identified on screen by name, either is diagrams, dialog, or any other format I cannot think of.
Many of these appear to be Star Trek Encyclopedia only references, based on conjecture for ships that were never seen, whereas other are based on production notes to describe models that were actually made. Here is the list:
- No studio model, Encyclopedia only
- Andromeda class
- Antares class (Starfleet)
- Chimera class
- Deneva class
- Hokule'a class
- Istanbul class
- Mediterranean class
- Olympic class (see talk:Olympic class)
- Rigel class
- Sequoia class
- Surak class
- Wambundu class
- Yorkshire class
- Zodiac class
- Kit-bash studio model
- Challenger class -- production notes?
- Cheyenne class -- production notes?
- Freedom class -- production notes?
- Niagara class -- production notes?
- Springfield class -- production notes?
- Semi-featured studio model
- Akira class -- production notes?
- Norway class -- production notes?
- Saber class -- production notes?
- Steamrunner class -- production notes?
As it stands, these would appear to be fair game for the chopping block, most notably the ones that have Encyclopedia-only sources. If someone could fill in the blanks (?'s) that would be a helpful start. --Alan del Beccio 07:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Most of these I don't see a problem with losing, with the exception of Akira class, but hey, sacrifices must be made. --OuroborosCobra talk
