Deletion rationale
Only mentioned in TM, never mentioned in an episode. At best make a redirect to another article. --OuroborosCobra talk 13:19, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Discussion
KEEP in the interest of completeness. The existance of cetaceans onboard certain starships is established in canon through cited episodes. The Tech Manual material is additional information.Capt Christopher Donovan 05:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Then put it in the background of the Marine mammals article (which did not exist when I made this nomination, IIRC). The fact is that "Takaya's Whale" is not mentioned in canon. --OuroborosCobra talk 05:08, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge with Marine mammals. It's either that or deletion in accordance with our Canon policy. (If Starships from official reference can't stay here, what makes you think animals can? :P) --From Andoria with Love 05:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I can support merging the articles as an alternative.Capt Christopher Donovan 10:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

EDIT The merge should be with "Cetacean", not "marine mammal" as that page has been redirected to the former.Capt Christopher Donovan 10:42, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Merging with Cetacean seems to be the way to go. Most of the information is already there (in the Background section), so this only needs to be a history merge without further rewrite of the existing article. -- Cid Highwind 11:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I added it a little while ago when I was taking care of some other business.Capt Christopher Donovan 11:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Admin resolution
Merged with Cetacean. --From Andoria with Love 11:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
