[edit] Planet Express Ship

This article is entirely originial research, given that the sources are personal fan websites with no legitimacy (please see Wikipedia's guideline in regards to reliable sources), which violates Wikipedia's policy. It also is not appropriate for an encyclopedia, failing WP:NOT hoopydinkConas tá tú? 22:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • delete I suppose if someone created an article about Futurama Devices and merged the articles into that article sans the commentary about the various derivations from other fiction, I could support the articles staying. But short of that, these are original research and not notable in an of themselves. Montco 23:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC) didn't know about List of Futurama_gadgets. Merge.

  • Keep but Trim Not all of the information in the article is original research, but some of it is, so delete that, keep the rest. Additional sources may be available in various Futurama material, including the Comic books and other magazines. And I'm sorry, but an article describing a spaceship from a nationally broadcast television program is inappropriate for Wikipedia? Are you going to argue for the deletion of USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and the other eight episodes about it, as well as the who knows how many other Star Trek, Star Wars, and other ships? Or heck, the Batmobile? Clean-up of this article is laudable, it looks like it could use it. Deleting it? No way. FrozenPurpleCube 23:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom. Seems to be pure Fancruft OR Bwithh 23:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to a single article, see above. Opabinia regalis 00:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean-up. I agree with Manticore, do you plan to nominate articles like Batmobile or Millennium Falcon? TJ Spyke 01:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per FrozenPurpleCube. The ship itself alone should be as notable as the Discovery One, Liberator or Serenity.... Though, as mentioned, some trimming can be done and likewisely expansion of the other articles (i.e. its role in the Futurama Comics). DrWho42 00:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong, strong, STRONG keep EVERY ship for EVERY sci-fi series has its own article, and those ships can't TALK! -- Kicking222 02:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The Planet Express Ship is extremely important in the plots, especially Love & Rocket Go Futurama! Sp3000 06:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per FrozenPurpleCube and above. The Planet Express Ship does play a part in many of the episodes/comics, even 'only' as a transport. Clean-up/improvement of the article is acceptable, deleting it is not. Nic tan33 06:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep: The USS Enterprise has it's own page. And just about every other starship from Star Trek has its own page. The Planet Express Ship is central to the show and has been in several plots. It makes little sense to delete it. -- Scorpion0422 06:48, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Stong Keep. - per Scorpion0422 --AAA! (talk • contribs) 07:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The USS Enterprise is just a wee bit more notable than the Planet Express Ship - and by a wee bit, I mean infinitively more so. And just because other ships have articles doesn't mean they should. Nominate them for an AfD (the less notable ones). - A Link to the Past (talk) 07:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The ship is both a character, a setting, and a "gadget", so it can't be merged easily into another article. It is at least as notable as Nibbler, if not more so. Bhumiya (said/done) 10:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge This is still an encyclopedia and not a fanboy pop-culture website. L0b0t 12:39, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and reference or Merge. Look at some of the Final Fantasy articles I helped to feature and you should know how to do this. This way, all Original Research claims are wiped out. Sir Crazyswordsman 15:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Kicking222 has a point. Danny Lilithborne 21:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Maybe it's not the USS Enterprise, but neither is KITT from Knight Rider. Much like in that show, Planet Express Ship is a transportation vessel and a character, and features prominently in almost every (if not actually every) episode of a noteworthy series. Lemonsawdust 21:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Integral part of the show, and shows up in almost every episode. Also, per Kicking222. --WillMak050389 22:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, without this ship, there would be no show. -- Zanimum 20:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per arguments for keep above. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 21:12, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
