Active Galactic Nuclei
(CET)
 * Active Galactic Nuclei -- Has this term ever been mentioned in Trek? -- EtaPiscium 18:41, 16 Dec 2004
 * Delete (conditional) Perhaps if the individual who created the article would place an episode reference in it, otherwise, get rid of it. -- Balok 19:40, 16 Dec 2004 (CET)

 * Deleted. -- Cid Highwind 21:40, 2004 Dec 30 (CET)

High command (December 30, 2004)

 * High command just relates to the major governments of a few cultures (Not all of the major cultures) and the governments have no relation to High Command apart from the Klingons. I see no real need for this page. Enzo Aquarius 04:48, 12 Dec 2004 (CET)

Breen Philosophy (December 30, 2004)

 * Breen Philosophy -- Mostly speculation, no facts that aren't covered on the main Breen page. Not nearly enough info to warrant an entire page anyway. -- EtaPiscium 10:17, 13 Dec 2004 (CET)

Quantum singularity energy (December 30, 2004)

 * Quantum singularity energy - Article as stands refers to quantum singularities rather than energy from them (and where has such a phenomenon been specifically mentioned in Trek anyway?) -- Michael Warren | Talk 01:22, Dec 24, 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. No Trek basis, dead-ender. -- SmokeDetector47 14:41, 27 Dec 2004 (CET)

Federation constitution (December 30, 2004)

 * Federation constitution -- As much as I admire Franz Joseph's work, this probably isn't in line with the canon policy, and is borderline copyright vio. -- SmokeDetector47 09:31, 19 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Delete - Borderline? This looks like flat out copyright violation to me; it appears to have been scanned in, or something like it.  It's also not wikified or formatted. -- Balok 00:40, 20 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * I agree with Balok. Copied material, and non-wikified.  Delete, baby, delete. -- Josiah Rowe 10:46, 22 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Deleted. -- Cid Highwind 13:27, 2004 Dec 29 (CET)

Klingon Physiology (December 30, 2004)

 * Klingon Physiology -- Very little of this article seems to be canon. Any information about Klingon physiology should be on the Klingon page anyway. -- EtaPiscium 03:28, 1 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * If the wealth of information was large enough, a separate article might be created at Klingon physiology.. but in its current form this is useless, delete. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 17:12, 2 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Delete in current form. There may be enough info for a separate article if it was rewritten with more canon information. -- SmokeDetector47 10:01, 5 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Deleted. -- Cid Highwind 11:16, 2004 Dec 29 (CET)

Star Wars (December 30, 2004)

 * Star Wars -- MA is not a general sci-fi encyclopedia. -- Michael Warren | Talk 01:44, Dec 6, 2004 (CET)
 * Although I agree, I do not believe that is the intention of this article. Nevertheless, delete. -- Gvsualan 02:26, 6 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Agree with Gvsualan's sentiments, but I also vote to delete. -- SmokeDetector47 03:49, 6 Dec 2004 (CET)

Species 8472 Philosophy (December 30, 2004)

Warp drive for dummies (December 9, 2004)

 * Warp drive for dummies -- I'm not sure where this info is from, but it's not canon. -- EtaPiscium 03:20, 2 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Shouldn't information (If canon) be placed in a subject related to the topic, not as a separate article? (If this was canon, it should be in Warp Drive) Enzo Aquarius 04:07, 2 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. Completely non-canon. Please remember to add { {deletion}} to VfD nominations. -- Michael Warren | Talk 09:29, Dec 2, 2004 (CET)

 * Keep, maybe that IS how warp works. -- Krevaner 14:25, 4 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Delete, Memory Alpha isn't about "maybe" it's about what is established as "fact" or more specifically "canon" in the Star Trek Universe. -- Gvsualan 14:42, 4 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. -- SmokeDetector47 10:01, 5 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Krevaner, even if that is how warp drive works, there's still no reference for this article according to our naming conventions, and various other lacks of reference and credibility here. "Maybe"s aren't really good enough for me. im going to recommed moving and cleaning up. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 21:34, 5 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * DELETED -- Captain Mike K. Bartel

The Real Future of Humanity (December 9, 2004)

 * The Real Future of Humanity -- ??Whats that nonsens??
 * Delete. Completely non-canon/unrelated. -- Cid Highwind 12:27, 4 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Delete with extreme prejudice. Completely off-topic, non-canon, useless. Already a target for vandalisation. -- Michael Warren | Talk 18:21, Dec 4, 2004 (CET)

 * Agreed, delete. -- Cid Highwind 12:41, 4 Dec 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. It's a good article, except it's irrelavent, unwikified and scientifically flawed. -- MiChaos 19:29, 4 Dec 2004 (CET).

 * DELETED -- Captain Mike K. Bartel

Iconian software weapon (December 6, 2004)
Iconian software weapon -- The artical should be "Iconian program", and it assumes the program was a weapon, in which Picard believes that it was not by design. The whole episode sugest that the malfunctions caused by the probe only because the program was incompatiable --TOSrules 05:42, Nov 23, 2004 (CET)
 * TOSrules, I'd consider moving the article to the new location Iconian software transmission (we don't know it was a program, either).. then, this could be removed from consideration here, and Iconian software weapon could either be orphaned and submitted to Memory Alpha:Pages for immediate deletion as a candidate for speedy deletion as an unused redirect, once everything is unlinked from it. Or, if the links seemd valid as they were, it could be submitted to Memory Alpha:List of useful redirects. But, since you pointed out this is an incorrect terminology, I wouldn't think it a good redirect. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel
 * They did refer to it as a program sevral times, the most notable is La Forge whom said the probe delevered a program. Although the accuracy of that title could be called in question, it is the best, and most canon refrence to issue. --TOSrules 09:55, Nov 23, 2004 (CET)
 * That should settle it then. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 09:57, 23 Nov 2004 (CET)

level 5 (December 6, 2004)

 * level 5 is not a proper article separation.. deck information should be under the class of starship or specific vessel. (the consensus was to delete the article deck 29) -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 03:13, 29 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Delete - consensus has been to delete articles on individual decks, since their function varies from class to class, and even ship to ship. -- Michael Warren | Talk 16:58, Nov 29, 2004 (CET)

Voy (December 5, 2004)

 * Voy -- Orphanaged, useless. --BlueMars 12:02, Nov 28, 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. -- Cid Highwind 12:26, 28 Nov 2004
 * Delete. -- Defiant 28 Nov 2004
 * delete--Captain Mike K. Bartel

Vulcan history (December 5, 2004)

 * Vulcan history -- Mostly non canon and unacceptable, dead ender, and conflicts with an existing article Vulcan History. I don't even see much useful data for merging. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 04:27, 21 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Agreed, it is not only non canon, and even goes against canon facts.
 * Delete. (As an aside, shouldn't the article currently at Vulcan History be at Vulcan history, anyway?  Capitalization of proper nouns and all that.) --Steve 23:12, 22 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * In the "History" articles, the name constitutes a capitalized title.. much like Species and cultures and the such, its a declarative title. Things like plasma canister that arent phrases remain lower case.. its a continuing process identifying the items we need to capitalize or uncap. Keeping in mind, the reason non-phrase article titles are lower case, is to ease linking in the tone used in article bodies (ie it's a lot easier to type "He used a plasma canister." than it is to type "He used a plasma canister" ). If we are using the History articles in article links this might be a favorable change. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 23:49, 22 Nov 2004 (CET)

Suliban ships (November 29, 2004)

 * Helix (station) -- duplication of material already at Suliban Helix. --Steve 07:36, 20 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Suliban cruiser -- duplication of matrial already at Suliban stealth-cruiser. --Steve 21:31, 20 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * short cell ship and long cell ship -- besides being a duplicate of information at Suliban cell ship, they (like several of these Suliban ship articles) seem to be a copyvio of http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/schematics/suliban_ships.htm. --Steve 21:47, 20 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * stealth generator -- this device was actually called a cloaking device in ENT: "The Communictor", and the relevant information is already on that page. --Steve 21:53, 20 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * All deleted -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:11, Nov 29, 2004 (CET)

Opaka Ossan (November 29, 2004)

 * Opaka Ossan -- non-canon -- EtaPiscium 00:54, 18 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Delete --- Captain Mike K. Bartel
 * While i think not all of the stuff in the article is canon (the love thing, mainly.), i'm pretty sure opaka's son was killed in kendra valley. i'll research it tomorrow, erase the superflous info and add an episode reference. await my report. ---kamagurka 03:00, 18 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Unless there's a little information to the contrary, i thought Opaka's sone went unnamed, but then again my knowledge of Bajoran material is also sketchy -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 03:43, 18 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Opaka's son was killed at Kendra Valley, but the character was not named. -- EtaPiscium 04:09, 18 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * ah, see, i wasn't sure about that. in that case, move to "Opaka junior", maybe? otherwise, delete. --kamagurka 14:06, 18 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. --Steve 23:12, 22 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Keep. - but change the information slightly; Opaka was the best Kia is an opinion and should therefore be changed. Is it not better that we present facts, rather than opinions?
 * IP users are unfortunately not included in the vote consensus tally, but it is a valid point. However, the deletion issue is due to the fact that Opaka's son was not ever named, this was written by a fan-fiction writer. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 20:23, 27 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Deleted -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:11, Nov 29, 2004 (CET)

List of Tholian starship classes (November 29, 2004)

 * List of Tholian starship classes -- deserves inclusion in the Tholian article, there have only been two tholian types ever seen on film, and only one distinct configuration. There's nothing to list -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 05:15, 6 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * delete --kamagurka 19:20, 6 Nov 2004 (CET)

Crew morale (November 29, 2004)

 * Crew morale -- this isn't really a particular Trek topic and the concept is pretty self-explanatory. -- EtaPiscium 08:42, 30 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * Note: The latest (and only) change comment says, "small explanation, important info to be added". That was in July. -- Mjwilco 21:59, 31 Oct 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. --Steve 23:12, 22 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Deleted -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:06, Nov 29, 2004 (CET)

List of Reman starships (November 29, 2004)

 * List of Reman starships -- it seems pointless to have a list that has only one item in it. The Scimitar is already listed on List of other alien starships -- EtaPiscium 18:45, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * Delete, this should be a sub article of the page "List of Romulan starships" --TOSrules 22:30, Oct 29, 2004 (CEST)
 * i disagree that it should be included in Romulan ships, as the Remans are most certainly not romulans, but i agree that a list with one item is pointless. i therefore agree with Etapiscium to simply delete the article and leave the scimitar on the "other alien ships" list. --kamagurka 00:21, 30 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * I have not seen Nemesis, but isn't Remus part of the Romulan Star Empire? --TOSrules 00:44, Oct 30, 2004 (CEST)
 * it is, but since the scimitar was built as a reman effort to overthrow the romulan government i think it can be called a romulan ship about as well as maquis vessels can be called federation ships. --kamagurka 01:28, 30 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * Even with the addition of the Scorpion-class fighter, I still vote to delete. The Scorpion is a class, not a ship, and thus we would once again be left with a one-ship list.  Move Scimitar to the other alien ships list. --Steve 23:12, 22 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Deleted -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:11, Nov 29, 2004 (CET)

Captain's prerogative (November 29, 2004)

 * Captain's prerogative -- the discussion on this. is this just a figure of speech, or deserving a separate article. i say delete it -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 12:30, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * As mentioned on the discussion page, I think this should be deleted. -- Cid Highwind 12:43, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * agreed... like putting an article for "T'Pol's tantrums" or "Worf's crankiness." delete. --Lsigler 12:55, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * support deletion. aside: is there some policy as to when concluded deletion debates can be purged from this page, or do the site admins do that periodically? --kamagurka 23:01, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * we need to ask someone in the military as to if Captains Prerogative is a figure of speech, or an actual expression the captains authority.--TOSrules 23:17, Oct 29, 2004 (CEST)
 * i agree. however, i have to say that while googleing this i found no evidence that it was more than a figure of speech.
 * I still think we need the to consult before we delete the article. --TOSrules 09:19, Nov 5, 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. Same reasons as Cap'n Mike, really. --Steve 23:12, 22 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Deleted -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:06, Nov 29, 2004 (CET)

Class C-5 (November 29, 2004)

 * Class C-5 -- I do not believe that this is a valid classification. "C-5" seems to be part of the nebula's name ("McAllister C-5 Nebula") in "Chain of Command", and its classification in dialogue is a "protostellar nebula". -- EtaPiscium 02:27, 18 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * If someone can provide some context/dialogue showing that "C-5" was used as a classification it should stay. Otherwise, I agree with the suggested deletion. -- Cid Highwind 13:17, 14 Nov 2004 (CET)
 * Delete. --Steve 23:12, 22 Nov 2004 (CET)

(Dr.) Fitzgerald (October 29th, 2004)

 * - non-canon reference for name, naming convention error. -- Michael Warren | Talk 17:12, Oct 28, 2004 (CEST)
 * I made some research and found that it is canon according to Decipher's Star Trek CCG which works in collaboration with Paramount for the informations. The picture correspond to the character on screen so, keep. --- The VIP 19:01, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * TheVIP, we are aware of this. At this time, Memory Alpha is only attempting to post articles with information derived from canon sources. As such, and non-filmed matter (such as a licensed company like Decipher and not the true Paramount Pictures productions. Any information about this unnamed character should go as a subheading of List of USS Voyager personnel under the /* Unnamed characters */ subdivision. Information about the Pocket Books novelization Pocket VGR:"Emissary (novel)" and the Star Trek Collectible Card Game named for him, as Fitzgerald, belongs in a footnote subheading, as its not a true canon reference-- Captain Mike K. Bartel 02:03, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * As Mike described, delete page but move any useful content to List of USS Voyager personnel. -- Cid Highwind 12:43, 29 Oct 2004 (CEST)

 * is there a way to restate this without a slash in the article title? besides, i can't even tell what series or episode this is from. when we have a source, i recommend moving to a new title and deleting this one, for the slash-character. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel

Gihlan't'aehn and USS Gihlan (October 28th, 2004)

 * Star Trek: The Magazine is not canon. It should be noted that USS Gihlan has been deleted before, as USS Gih'lan (although not by the same author). Content was not considered canonical, and thus not valid for inclusion. This still holds. -- Michael Warren | Talk 16:57, Oct 21, 2004 (CEST)

Celsius (October 28th, 2004)

 * Nothing links to it, and it's dead end. Any info that could be on the page isn't really related to Trek. -- Mjwilco 20:57, 16 Oct 2004 (CEST)
 * Celsius should go. Kelvin should take its place, with a reference to the relationship between C and K. Kelvin is used in ST, after all. -- (Toddas 16:57, 17 Oct 2004 (CEST))
 * Celsius is used all the time, too. invalid point. if C goes, K should go, too, unless it's prominently mentioned somewhere; for example, when Kes made the tea boil under tuvok's supervision, the doctor later states she elevated his body temperature by 39° C; but is that enough to have an article about the unit? IMHO, no. only if the unit itself has some story point in Trek, an article should be created (say a couple of officers debate why starfleet uses C and not F). correct me if i got something wrong, i'm new here. --kamagurka 22:25, 28 Oct 2004 (CEST)

Alternative Kirk Chronology (August 31st, 2004)

 * first sentence says it all. Someone's personal take on Kirk's career history - original research. -- Michael Warren | Talk 00:42, Aug 21, 2004 (CEST)
 * How can Cannon compare to on screen facts. It is based of the 100 year parallel between "Journey to Babel", and "Sarek" (2266). The Calendars you use suggest that the bottle of Romulan Ale 2283 is the best way to figure the date of TOS. But that is a Romulan Date. At least it is a side article rather then posted as a part of the Main article. If there are any Cannon Error's post them on the Discussion page for the Article. TOSrules 15:53, Aug 20, 2004 (PST)
 * I suggest you do it the other way around and adress your problems or suggestions regarding the original article at that article's talk page. If you've made some good discoveries, they should be included in the original article. This page should be deleted. -- Redge | Talk 01:17, 21 Aug 2004 (CEST)

 * Delete it. The title is inconsistent with our naming conventions. Problems with the generally accepted timeline should be addressed at Talk:Timeline or Talk:James T.

 * I think my opinions on non-canon sources for Starships have been made well clear. Delete them all. Alex Peckover 21:35, Aug 7, 2004 (CEST)
 * Perhaps this should go on a more general discussion page concerning canon: on each of this pages, it is clearly stated that these starships have been mentioned in a certain book (most are from the Spaceflight Chronology), and we could even put a "non-canon" notice on it, or something. But this Spaceflight Chronology is an official reference book, and was used by the writers of TOS and TNG as a reference source. I would say we keep this information, add a note at the beginning of the article, similar to the "meta trek" note that was invented some time ago, and let people decide for their own whether the information is canon enough or not... Ottens 12:22, 8 Aug 2004 (CEST)
 * According to the, most of these articles (with the exception of those mentioned in the FASA RPG) would be considered "meta trek". Ottens 12:29, 8 Aug 2004 (CEST)
 * Well, we consider the Star Fleet Technical Manual, Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, and the Star Trek Encyclopedia as "official references" when it comes to writing articles here.. but I don't think we can go so far as to shoehorn Spaceflight Chronology into it, there are two problems with that: 1) Rick Sternbach was a senior contributor to TNG's staff when he wrote the TNG TM. His writings when he was simply a newbie illustrator on TMP is certainly less relevant. 2) The second problem is that, except for the few times when a novel or a piece of art department work has referenced it, there has been no official production attention paid to this manual, most importantly little or no canon references. I belive I stated this previously, during canon policy discussions. We also nixed the idea of purely non-canon articles existing at present on MA. Unless there's any canon references to any of those ships, current policy on MA is that they cannot posess their own article page. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 14:42, 8 Aug 2004 (CEST)
 * Couldn't these articles fall under the category of "Meta Trek" than? They have something to do with Trek, and it would expand the database of we'd allow such articles to be included. There may be people who are looking for such, and as I said, they can decide for their own whether its canon enough or not. Ottens 16:01, 8 Aug 2004 (CEST)
 * No, they couldn't. Are they episodes? Movies? Officially endorsed books or comics? No. That is what 'meta-Trek' articles are. We had this discussion when the Mackensie Calhoun article came up, as I'm sure Captainmike will recall and that reasoning was rejected then, as well. -- Michael Warren | Talk 16:44, Aug 8, 2004 (CEST)

 * Except it wasn't on screen. An early preproduction version of the plaque (seen, I believe, in the documentary "Journey's End") stated it. It is worthy of a footnote in the USS Pasteur article, but not an article on its own, as it isn't canonical. The Pasteur's dedication plaque on screen gave the correct class designation. -- Michael Warren | Talk 23:15, Aug 7, 2004 (CEST)

Almost none of this information is derived from any televised or filmed Star Trek, it seems to be devised solely by the author.

Bartel 01:15, 14 Aug 2004 (CEST)
