[edit] USS Aries (NCC-45167)

Star Trek starship whose only appearance is a few seconds in a listing on a display on the Enterprise in the film Star Trek: Nemesis. The ship itself never appeared on screen, never even featured in dialogue. Just a few seconds as a line of text on a display. Please see this screenshot for everything we will ever know about the USS Aries. Delete. AlistairMcMillan 09:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the exact same reason:

• USS Archer (NCC-44278)
• USS Intrepid (NCC-74600)
• USS Nova

Correction: The Aries was briefly mentioned in dialogue in four episodes of The Next Generation. Never appeared on screen though. AlistairMcMillan 09:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Already over at Memory Alpha, so delete all. --BillC 09:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• from what i have read from wiki's policies and guidelines, there is nothing to suggest these articles shouldn't be here. i think it's more of a case of one person opinion vs another on the topic. AlistairMcMillan, i wish i could understand your motivation, and i dont know why not seeing the ship(s) is no reason to have an article on them considering that there is more information on them than other Star Trek related pages on this site. i hope you reply and give me some closure on this. on --BillC's comment, If this is the case, shouldn't all Star Trek related matter be wiped from wiki's site, and if so how are ignorant people such as myself going to access this information seeing I only accessed Memory Aplha through a link on a Star Trek wiki page. It's easy to say, look it up, but have you ever searched Star Trek on google? you come up with a lot of dodgy results dont you? so if there is any truth in what your'e saying should there be some sort of breif discription within wiki(a well known site). I would suggest to see either a KEEP or a merge take place. And if a merge is needed, maybe one of these editor's that seems to have ample time look at pages for deletion, maybe some time could be invested into, reorganising/re-editing the entire Star Trek Category(as everything I've done is nominated for deletion]], because for someone like me who know's a bit about Star Trek, it awfully hard to get the information you want from wiki --Wiki Ian 22:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll clarify my comment, which was not meant to suggest that anything that is over at Memory Alpha has no place on Wikipedia. Rather, although this might meet Memory Alpha's standards for Star Trek-related notability, a ship whose name appears once on screen in a list, and is mentioned in passing several times in dialog, does not meet Wikipedia's. As Peripitus has said, there is a Memory Alpha for this material. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and its function is not to collate information that is difficult to find in Google searches. --BillC 09:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to some list of ST ships, it is. --Tone 13:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nn ST ship. --Terence Ong 15:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to some list of ST ships. —Steven G. Johnson 16:01, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable and, as far as I can tell, no info outside of their existence is really available for most of them anyway. At any rate, this level of detail is what Memory Alpha is for. BryanG 18:02, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per —Steven G. Johnson and use as redirects. The info should be kept, but doesn't merit individual articles. Tyrenius 18:04, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, as over at Memory Alpha (unless we are planning to Borg Memory Alpha) Shenme 20:25, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: If these ships had actually been a significant part of even one episode than they might merit an article. Unfortunately, these are just useless fancruft. --Hetar 20:28, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as fancruft. Reyk _YO! 20:56, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all, nn fancruft. Lankiveil 23:45, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• 'Delete all - there is a startrek wiki for this material. Peripitus 03:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Into a Starfleet Ships Wiki... And you do realize that that the screenshot says, "USS Aires" not the "USS ARIES," right?
• Delete all, may be relevant to Trek-specific wikis but none notable enough for WP. Paddles 15:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fancruft. Sandstein 17:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. Dr Zak 17:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge all to a Trek ships list. - CNichols 22:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
