[edit] Farscape terminology
Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary or jargon guide. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rugrats vocabulary (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Firefly slang words and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blade: Dictionary. Also raises WP:PLOT concerns because of the entirely in-universe context of the list. Otto4711 22:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

- Keep This isn't a usage guide (it's not teaching anyone to speak "Farscapese"), but a description of specialized terms used on a highly notable TV show, what would normally be called a "glossary", which we have plenty of on Wikipedia, see Category:Glossaries, and which aid in the understanding of their parent topics. Notability for the terminology used on Farscape can be established by significant coverage in several reliable sources: Science Fiction Television from the Praeger Television Collection, Farscape: The Illustrated Companion, Investigating Farscape: Uncharted Territories of Sex and Science Fiction, The Farscape Season Two Episode Guide : An Unofficial Guide with Critiques (and those for the other seasons), and Farscape Forever!: Sex, Drugs and Killer Muppets. Also, the San Diego Union-Tribune considers this webpage a reliable source for Farscape terminology. DHowell (talk) 03:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
