Spaniard

 * Spaniard: Was created as a redirect, does not conflict with any "immediate deletion" rules for redirects and as such shouldn't have been deleted without voting. I think it is a useful redirect (as a search term, for example) because, even if the term "spaniard" wasn't used on-screen, it is still a valid term for the "people of spanish descent" that are listed on Spanish, the redirect target. -- Cid Highwind 15:24, 17 Oct 2005 (UTC)

 * We are not wikipedia, nor a dictionary. Unlike the term "Spanish", which was clearly used-- there are no references to the term in Star Trek, therefore I see no reason why it should be linked here. --Alan del Beccio 06:54, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * But we are an encyclopedia that wants it content to be found. With the same reasoning ("exact term not used in ST"), we should then also delete USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C), Dominion philosophy and Battle of the Bassen Rift, just to name a random few, which would clearly go against that goal. Of course we shouldn't go around and link to a term that wasn't used while another one exists that was, but that doesn't mean that we absolutely have to delete each and every occurence of such term, especially if it is only used as a redirect. -- Cid Highwind 10:58, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, an encyclopedia about things that have been referenced on Star Trek, not an encyclopedia or list of demonyms. Otherwise, yes, I agree with half of those you listed, especially the Bassen Rift battle, as that is a completely "fan-boy" made name-- but, then again, those are a necessary evil (at least according to those who voted to keep them). It would be perfectly understandable to have Spaniard linked to Spanish if the Pueblo Revolt referred to the Spaniards killing the Indians in, but it didn't -- nobody said "Spaniards", so there is no need to link and I don't see it the least bit necessary. Considering the original content entered by the IP user was not created with a Star Trek reference in mind, considering the other linked term that was removed from the page was Hispano-- had that not been the case, I might feel otherwise. If you want a useful link to "people of spanish descent" then perhaps we should have Spanish people link to Spanish (and or move Spanish to that page, much like its' wikipedia counterpart page). --Alan del Beccio 11:31, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Seeing that no one is willing to budge and this is starting to grow mold and stink (worse than I already does) I'm just going to submit and restore it. I still, nevertheless, don't think it belongs here for the above stated reasons. --Alan del Beccio 08:18, 20 Dec 2005 (UTC)
