[edit] First Mate

Delete. This appears to be fanfic. Although the character is real, he is billed in the credits as "Messenger Pirate." The details here seem pulled out of thin air ("Katanga Anthologies" gets no legitimate Google hits), and this is just the wrong use for this article name. -- BD2412 talk 22:59, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete this, but a real article should probably exist about the use of the term "first mate". The previous redirect to executive officer wasn't bad, but it appears the article doesn't even mention "first mate" in it, which it should as the redirect's subject. -R. fiend 23:04, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup and Redirect. If this is a real character, he should have a mention somewhere, but this isn't it. "First Mate" is too ambiguous, and definately needs content re-write. --Blu Aardvark 23:06, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
    • I should clarify: the character in the image was a real character appearing in the movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, but he is not referred to as the "First Mate" either in the film or in the credits. The actor, Eddie Tagoe, had a significantly larger part as "Chocolate Mousse" in the 1984 farce, Top Secret!.
  • Delete unclear, perhaps nonexistance context. As noted above, a proper first mate article could exist, but this is not it. Friday 23:16, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
