[edit] Voice of the Borg

This doesn't deserve its own article. Perhaps a merge into Star Trek: First Contact. Delete, JHMM13 (T | C) 07:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, too trivial, we don't have articles for "man on bus" or "newspaper salesman" for other movies. -Drdisque 07:42, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge to Star Trek: First Contact, according to the guidelines in WP:FICT. Far too short and trivial for a seperate article. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete (it's already tagged as speedy now) --Quarl 08:46, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. Note that Borg already says 'The actor playing the role of "Voice of the Borg" in this film is Jeff Coopwood', although I don't think that's the right grammar - "Voice of the Borg" is not an actual character. Nothing to merge --Quarl 12:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete Jeff Coopwood wrote this about himself. -- Perfecto 08:50, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
    • User:Jcoop, who created this and Jeff Coopwood, left me a message saying he's not him, so please disregard the last claim (but not the vote, see below) as you see fit. -- Perfecto 17:13, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge to Star Trek: First Contact JoJan 09:28, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Hmm, this is interesting. On one hand the "voice" of something is definitely not deserving of an article. On the other, since the Borg is a hive mind, the "Voice of the Borg" is the closest anyone can get to describe the collective Borg consciousness... which is, I think, notable. -- Миборовский U|T|C|E|Chugoku Banzai! 10:31, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
    • No. Borg describes the "collective Borg consciousness", not this. -- Perfecto 17:13, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: after delete, redirect to Borg --Quarl 10:56, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • There's an assertion of notability there (he's the Famous Voice of the Borg!), so I don't see how it can/should be speedied. A merge and redirect seems to me to be the most appropriate action here. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 10:58, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Speedied because it's a sub-stub: what else can be added to the article? Speedied because there is no such topic as "Voice of the Borg". Let's likewise create "Voice of Kermit" (saying it's Jim Henson), and "Voice of Bart Simpson" (saying it's Nancy Cartwright) since the two are more encyclopedic than this. I agree with Quarl, there's nothing to merge. -- Perfecto 17:13, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Mark, it's between A1, A3 and A7, unless I'm mistaken. -- Perfecto 00:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge as per Can't sleep, clown will eat me. Essexmutant 12:17, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge, anyone who performs the voice acting of a world-famous voice, like Borg or Dalek deserve to be covered somewhere, regardless of who wrote the entry. If it's merged, the fact it's a substub will be irrelevant. -- Mgm|(talk) 23:09, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Quarl - the Borg article already contains all the info from this article, nothing to merge. Tufflaw 05:13, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nothing to merge. Renata3 15:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge it as suggested --TimPope 14:08, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. nn. Incognito 05:40, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
