Talk:Warren Stevens

Some of the recent omissions seem a little excessive. Warren Stevens did appear in a film with George Takei. Isn't that noteworthy? I understand this isn't supposed to be IMDb. But, some of us read articles to find Star Trek-related information, not reaffirm what we already know. A lot of people didn't know Warren Stevens appeared with such and such actors and are unlikely to do the detective work to find out themselves.--Mike Nobody 22:57, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I think that the George Takei link on this page would be useful. I would support you adding it back into the article, even though another archivist just removed it.


 * Thank you Mike, for using this talk page to suggest changing the article! This is such a helpful way to help us add a link back into the article, even though someone else just removed it! Great! -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk


 * For the record, I removed the info based on the conversation at Ten Forward. Please leave your comments regarding the future of performer's articles over there. --From Andoria with Love 23:38, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, i've followed that line of discussion.. the reason i think the George Takei link is more relevant than many of the others is that he is a one of the main characters of a Star Trek series.


 * While I have only a peripheral interest, as I personally don't work on performer articles as often as other archivists, i think this case helps to clarify what could become one of the prerequisites for expanding a performer article -- "has the performer appeared in any type of production with a main character performer?" -- many of these actors might've.


 * Perhaps all the "removed" performer information should be preserved on the talk pages -- that way if it ever became thought of as relevant for expansion material, it would be accessible. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 04:15, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)


 * Personally, I find some of the really obscure information (that hasn't already been combed through 1,000 times) the most interesting. The Six-Degrees-of-Seperation phenomenon really holds true when you find out such and such guest stars and such and such extra/stuntman not only appeared in the same Star Trek episode, or another movie, but working together on a really strange project together (like an obscure porno or something). I just find that kind of thing fascinating.--Mike Nobody 04:39, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I've made a proposal at Ten-Forward that we keep all this info, but make it into lists separate from the main body of the article -- that way we can be a useful resource for Six Degrees players (sometimes i think this kind of niche reader is our most mainstream demographic) -- Captain Mike K.
