Angel One

This is a randomly chose Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. Since other "fancruft", such as episode guides, book chapter guides, jedis knights, pokemons, digimons etc are getting merged or deleted, Trek episodes should go the same way. Kappa 13:23, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Retaliatory VfDs are pointless, by the way. Xezbeth 13:24, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • This Vfd is just aiming for consistency. Kappa 13:30, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I should have mentioned my vote is merge or keep as for other fancruft. Kappa 13:30, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • You nominated this page for deletion and then vote "merge or keep"? Come on, please don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Keep. Carrp | Talk 13:35, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • These trek-cruft things will have to be Vf'd eventually, I don't think it's disruptive to consider an example at the same time as many similar things are coming up. Kappa 15:00, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Kappa, I don't get your logic here. Even if this survives VfD, this or some other Star Trek episode may be put up for VfD in the future. Zzyzx11 02:04, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • I think it's less likely that they will be re-Vfd'ed if the question of them being allowed to stay is discussed now, when things are in flux, instead of later, when they are likely to be a standout island of cruft. Kappa 02:12, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Individual episodes of Trek are notable enough to have articles, plus Angel One IIRC has already survived a VfD. And a second reminder to the nominator to review WP:POINT 23skidoo 16:55, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - SimonP 17:37, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and require the proposer to perform any merge/redirecting. --iMb~Mw 18:30, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. And lord knows you're not the first one to think of this particular point. --Fastfission 21:37, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup and expand. Unlike SNL episodes, ST:TNG at least have a coherent storyline notable enough for inclusion. Megan1967 01:36, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep of course! Yes Angel One is a boring episode, but eventually I hope to have all Next Gen episodes covered eventually.It takes time. My suggesting is: if you don't like then don't look at it. Unless Wikipeda has a shortage of drive space, which I heard they don't since this place nearly doubles in size on a monthly basis, then keep it. There are a ton of other STUPID CRAP here to get rid of in the meantime. Taking out Trek stuff is a waste of time. Plus Memory Alpha sucks. Their site way more disorganized than this place, and they have more issues with downtime. Cyberia23 07:35, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Nominator should be censured for blatant WP:POINT violation. This sort of thing is even listed there - David Gerard 14:15, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Where? Kappa 16:57, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Why, Kappa, why? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:47, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable trekkiecruft. ComCat 09:14, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep pop culture encyclopedic Tjc 12:10, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, of course. Question---I've just hopped back onto VFD after a long hiatus, and so I missed the first part of this lovely drama. What got deleted that pissed off Kappa so much? What point is Kappa trying to make? grendel|khan 15:11, 2005 Mar 17 (UTC)
  • The direct comparison is with Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Saturday Night Live Number 548. I wasn't any more pissed-off than usual, although the nomination probably sounds grumpy because of the cold medicine I'd taken. This was a real attempt to get more consistency, which I value despite what WP:POINT says. Kappa 23:48, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
