[edit] Skirmish at Telstar
This appears to be from a work of fiction but asserts no notability and is definitely not notable outside of the work. It didn't fall directly under and speedy criteria and the original author had removed the prod Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 16:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's a plot incident from Midshipman's Hope, one that will take some third-party sources discussing the plot point in some detail to convince me that it is notable under the guidelines of WP:FICT. I'd prefer it if this AfD debate last the full five days, to gtive editors a good faith chance to find them, though I'm doubtful they can. The parent article already covers this in sufficient detail, I'd say (it's also already more than a bit plotty, but that's a cleanup issue). Redirect to Midshipman's Hope, though if any editors preferred to rescue some material here first, they should go for it. —Quasirandom (talk) 22:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. It's a minor plot point, unnotable outside the novel. Nobody's going to search for it by this title. I don't recall this being referred to that way in the book. The plot in Midshipman's Hope needs to be sliced and diced, and that Ronco <insert sharp instrument here> is me. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I've condensed the overly-detailed plot, and it doesn't need anything from this article. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Good job on the pruning. Do you also make julienne fries? —Quasirandom (talk) 14:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

- Being a New Member of Wikipedia (and the Author of Skirmish at Telstar) I am little inexperienced so if you think that Skirmish at Telstar should be Deleted all's fine with me.Theterribletwins1111 (talk) 10:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Excellent. Welcome to Wikipedia. May I suggest you contribute to some of the later novels? Other than Challenger's Hope, the rest need filling out. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:20, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect Alone it doesn't assert notability in-universe, and should probably be summarized in the main article. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 06:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
