Star Trek

Fancruft. We must not allow fiction to take over Wikipedia. If this referred to a real universe, it would be speedy deleted. JIP | Talk 08:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep What is this? WP:POINT? -- Scientizzle 08:46, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep as if I even need to vote in this. Ridiculous nomination. GassyGuy 08:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep This is clearly vandalism, Star Trek is one of the most successful TV programs in history, and that's in the real universe. However, I do agree that there is far too many Star Trek related articles on Wikipedia. Philip Stevens 09:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment a lot of Star Trek fan-fiction articles have been submitted for deletion discussion today (further up this page). I'm not sure what this submitter's WP:POINT is though, since Star Trek itself is clearly notable with decades of TV and press coverage, whereas fan flash animations and fictional organisations from fan-made films are not (or are at the very least worthy of discussion). - Motor (talk) 11:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I have no problem with deleting Flash films and webcomics, but when a full-length movie that has its own IMDB entry, has been mentioned in several Finnish newspapers, has been mentioned on CNN, and has even been shown on national Finnish TV, is summarily lumped along with them, I have to take offense. Apparently Samuli Torssonen and his team could even win the Nobel Peace Prize and still be non-notable, just because they don't work for Paramount. JIP | Talk 11:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Very clever, very funny, claim a laugh point if you collect them. :) Ben W Bell talk 09:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. If this was to make a point, that point would appear to be "JIP is incapable of distinguishing between major network TV shows and low budget dreck made by fans of that show". Point made dude, point made. -- GWO
- I do think some Star Trek fan films are notable, especially Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, but I do not think all fan films are automatically notable just because they're about Star Trek. However, when a movie gets millions of downloads, has been mentioned in many well-known newspapers, and has started many translation projects, it does not have to be deleted just because it was done by fans.
