[edit] Andromedan Invaders (Star Fleet Universe)

Andromedan Invaders (Star Fleet Universe) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This mysterious race of extra-galactic beings fails notability requirements of WP:Fiction and the article itself fails WP:NOR. Another interpretation is that this article is that it is about non-notable gaming instructions that fail WP:NOTABILITY and has been padded out with original research. --Gavin Collins 10:57, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per several arguments above. /Blaxthos 11:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge Preferably, merge to a future article on the races of the Star Fleet Universe. This is getting really frustrating... you open a discussion on the Village Pump to get opinions on your deletion nominations, and then completely ignore what everyone tells you and not only go right on making nominations, but continue making the same misinterpretations of policy and the subject matter, even when you've been told repeatedly by many people that those are wrong. That this article is about gaming instructions isn't an "interpretation", it's an obvious fact that's stated in the lead-in to the article. You're welcome to argue the notability of the concept, or that this is an undue amount of coverage or too in-universe, but please don't continue to act like this is something made up in school one day, or that it's original research when the books it comes from are listed in the references.

• Merge, as this is not independently notable - a merge will hopefully force out unnecessary content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markdsgraham (talk • contribs) 20:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge or delete. Without significant real world information, this level of fictional detail is not justified. -- Ned Scott 06:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Nomination is incorrect in most points. This is not original research this is part of an an actual game setting. Edward321 05:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science fiction-related deletions. --Gavin Collins 13:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or merge No sane arguments for note independently, no WP:RS, but can cover on parent article or, if they'll take non-canon info, List of Star Trek races. MrZaius^talk 13:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• transwiki to Star trek wiki, too inuniverse for wikipedia. Mbisanz 06:24, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per Edward321. The Nomination is badly flawed, and does indeed make some incorrect assertions. OTOH, the article needs some cleanup work, as acknowledged by Pinball22, above. Deletion is not a means to cleanup articles - but another AFD may result in Deletion if the article is not successfully (and swiftly) cleaned up.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep, as I see User:Gavin.collins is once more on his perennial snipe hunt, nominating articles from genres we obviously does not understand. --Agamemnon2 16:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge/delete/or transwiki A complete lack of real world information, and way too detailed to be needed for a general over-view. -- Ned Scott 05:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep The article needs sourced and re-written but not deleted. Web Warlock 19:10, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per lack of notabiltiy and simply being a regurgitation of plot summary. Redirect Andromedan invasion to Star Fleet Universe. --EEMeltonIV 15:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:FICT, WP:PLOT, WP:N not every team on every game merits an article: White chessmen and Red checkers anybody? Carlossuarez46 21:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
