The result was keep as a subpage of Tachyon. I have not merged due to the argument that it seems to work better as a subpage -- Samir धर्म 06:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge Into Tachyons . merge only the more notable sources as trivia. --Ageo020 00:58, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• [after edit conflict] Delete outright. This just...isn't really even interesting enough for a merge. I think Tachyons#Tachyons_in_fiction really covers it well enough; we don't have a big list of fictional uses of plasma, for example. But if others think it would add to the article, go ahead and merge. -Elmer Clark 01:09, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete 50% original research, 50% List of uses of the word "tachyons" in fiction. --IslaySolomon 02:01, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Sounds like a vote for cleanup and moving the page to List of instance of tachyons in fiction. hateless 22:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment While I think that would be a more accurate title, I'm sticking by my delete vote. There's already a tachyons in fiction section in the article tachyons and I really don't think Wikipedia needs yet another obscure fan-list. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --IslaySolomon 11:57, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Please note that the 'Tachyons in fiction' section in the main tachyons page was the original location of this list, before it was moved to the current page. [1] The entry currently residing there was copied back to that page by me, to serve as a summary for this article. [2] Mike Peel 12:08, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - and do not merge. Merging would degrade the quality of the Tachyon article by making the bulk of it a hodge podge list of occurences of the word tachyon. -- Whpq 14:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Move — to List of uses of the word 'tachyons' in fiction, although the OR/POV should be cleaned up. This is otherwise a serviceable list. I didn't find it that interesting either, but such things are subjective and not really a reason to delete. JChap2007 19:27, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Tachyons — Some of the points in the article aren't that notable, but most are. Remove non-notable points post/pre-move. Keep the points in a 'Tachyons in fiction' section, not a trivia section (as per WP:TRIVIA). Note that this article was recently (16 August 2006) split from Tachyons by Pjacobi (talk • contribs).

• Keep or delete. Do not merge with Tachyon article - this cruft was removed from there recently. It is quite useful practice to put the "popular culture" references into a leaf article so they do not pollute the main article (see Gorilla). Knowing how fast people would infest the Tachyon again I would suggest keep. It makes no harm and kids have convenient place to play. Pavel Vozenilek 21:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
