[edit] Bug hunt

Neologism and probably not really a genre anyway. A google ssearch for "bug hunt" - "starship troopers" returned only result about software bugs and entymology. I found no evidence of people using the term as presented here outside Starship Troopers. Ace of Sevens 11:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The phrase was used in the movie Aliens before becoming a primary point of the Starship Troopers movie (which differed greatly from the novel that, I think, didn't use the phrase at all). So it is at least evident in two films, rather than one. However, the article doesn't provide compelling enough evidence of there being enough films, books, comics or videogames in existence that could qualify it as a genre. I certainly don't think that three is a large enough number! Seb Patrick 12:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it originally was a mere passing comment in Aliens. Just another fragment of popular film that people try to attach legs to. PJM 13:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Not original research, but again not notable enough to be an encyclopedia entry. -Ambuj Saxena(talk) 13:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Without proper sources, how could one say it is not OR? We all know the term 'bug hunt' has been used before, but that doesn't lend support to the crux of the article. From WP:NOR: "the only way to demonstrate that you are not doing original research is to cite reliable sources". PJM 14:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
