[edit] Deadlock (Voyager episode)

POV fancruft, not salvagable. Malathion 02:02, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

• pending a serious serious rewrite: delete. Sasquatch′↔T↔C 02:47, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I have produced a rewrite at Deadlock (Voyager episode)/Temp. But for the unsubstantiated but plausible copyright worries I would have just edited it in place. I'm still mystified as to the suggestions that the article was "irretrievable"--most keyboards I have ever used possess a delete key. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:05, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Deleteas per Sasquatch. Hamster Sandwich 03:41, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I'm a huge Voyager fan, but honestly, walls of text are not that appealing. Hansamurai 03:47, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete POV review. Obviously all voters have been voting on the irredeemible state of the article, not the subject matter. We're better off just deleting this and starting over than trying to fix this. Postdlf 04:06, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Is there a need to have a plot synopsis for every episode of every television show ever made? Hamster Sandwich 08:16, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Note that Louisa Maydew (talk • contribs) has made similar contributions to Investigations (Voyager episode), Meld (Voyager episode), Initiations (Voyager episode), Innocence (Voyager episode), and Death Wish (Voyager episode). I suspected a copyright violation, but could not find a source. However, the addition to Investigations (Voyager episode) contained the text "There are some episodes I have discussed in this book", indicating that all of these reviews are copyright violations of a book. Copyvio. Uncle G 05:08, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Postdif. Obviously I have no objection to having episode articles, but Wikipedia isn't an episode review service. 23skidoo 05:37, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Phasers on destroy. Episode summaries are a waste of precious electrons. Obtw in case it's not obvious, delete. Wile E. Heresiarch 17:54, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable, neutral. I can find no reason for deletion in the deletion policy, and see no plausible reason for deletion in the above discussion. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 18:10, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice. We should have articles on episodes, not potential copyvio summaries like this one. Radiant_>|< 19:05, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice against recreation as an NPOV description of the episode. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 01:09, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete. Copyvio per Uncle G. Almafeta 01:13, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, fancruft. Nandesuka 02:32, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
• Rewrite - the article is obviously garbage, but once it is deleted it cannot be rewritten without another vote. Pages for deletion is not the right place for this. All the energy invested on this page could have already rewritten it.Dovi 19:16, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Incorrect. An article with substantially different content can be remade with the same title (as Tony has done). If what you say were true, we'd need a vote every time someone rewrote an article that was a copyright violation. And, since I've not seen the episode in question, I'm not qualified to rewrite the article, but I am qualified to recognize POV writing that appears to be a copyvio. android79 20:11, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's can be fixed with a rewrite. I've done this to other Voyager episodes, and Tony Sidaway seems to have started the process for this article. Acegikmo1 20:07, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Acegikmo1 is absolutely right. I suggest replacing the current content by Tony Sidaway's rewrite as soon as the discussion here is over.--Hillel 01:03, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
