[edit] USS Endeavour (Star Trek)
Delete Another article on Star Trek starships that play no significant role in any episodes/films. One that only appeared on a chart in a cut scene from one of the films and another that only features briefly in dialogue from the television series. The very definition of non-notable.

- Comment to Nominator - I'm confused...this is a disambiguation page. Are you proposing the deletion of the disambiguation page alone, or both of the other pages of this title that it links to? If the latter is the case (as I suspect) then shouldn't you have nominated them together, just to make things clearer? Walton monarchist89 15:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

- If this is a disambiguation page where is the disambig tag? To be clear, I'm not nominating the other articles, just this page. AlistairMcMillan 16:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- OK it isn't marked as a disambiguation page, but its content consists solely of 2 links to 2 different Star Trek starships named USS Endeavour. So what's the point in deleting a page of 2 links, which is effectively a disambiguation (though not tagged as such), and not deleting the actual pages that it links to? I'm very confused. Please explain. Walton monarchist89 19:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Did you follow the two links? They don't link to articles about the two ships. They link to pages about the relevant classes, which then mention very briefly the two ships. [User:AlistairMcMillan|AlistairMcMillan]] 21:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Fair enough, the format of the page confused me. I see what you mean now. My vote is therefore Delete (see below). Walton monarchist89 09:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

- Keep - Doesn't appear to be a valid AfD. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 17:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge this is apparently a disambig page for relatively minor content, so I could support a merge to List of Starfleet starships ordered by class (which currently has the nebula-class, but not the other). FrozenPurpleCube 18:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Looks like a valid afd to me. Non-notable Star Trek fancruft. Saikokira 19:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete disambig page for rather minor fictional content.-- danntm T C 20:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - it isn't a disambiguation page. It's a page about a starship that gets mentioned a couple of times. This is trivia. -- Whpq 22:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - unnecessary page, no assertion of real world notability per WP:FICT. Walton monarchist89 09:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete The information presented on this page would be better placed on the pages it links to. Kyaa the Catlord 09:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete WP:FICT: "Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot." No real-world notability, no reliable sources cited. Take it to a fan wiki. -- IslaySolomon | talk 23:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Let us at least consider merging these articles of lesser vessels in Star Trek to one article and redirect. That way the information is adequate for an article and preserved for interested people as well as easier to maintain. Lord Metroid 15:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
