[edit] notability
Rockfang (talk · contribs) keeps removing the {{notability}} tagging from this article despite its failing of both the general notability requirements and the specific dictates of the television episode notability guideline. Both removals have been without comment, and on the second instance the user added unreferenced in-universe information while simultaneously removing the {{notability}} tag. I have now again re-added the tag as appropriate without reliably sourced real-world evidence of notability. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 03:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Feel free to put it up for deletion if you'd like, but I doubt it will get deleted. I'm going to continue to remove the notability tag. The info I added shows why this was an important episode. Rockfang 04:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- (EC) I'd rather afford people the opportunity to improve/contribute to the article in an effort to bring the episode up to muster. After some time w/o sufficient improvement, I'll redirect this page to List of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes#Season 1 (1993). The info you added may be pertinent in-universe information, but as I said above: the article needs real-world evidence of notability, not more plot. Read up on the Wikipedia pages about notability, reliable sourcing, television episodes, and writing about fiction. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 04:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- I added some references to top section. If you have any suggestions for further additions, please let me know. Rockfang 04:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Reliable sourcing alone though isn't the primary concern here, and while that is certainly necessary, the overarching concern is a lack of real-world notability. From Wikipedia:Television episodes:
This article doesn't have any of that, it's effectively an extended in-universe plot summary, something that can be easily summarized in another more apropos article (probable: List of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes#Season 1 (1993), as I aforementioned). — pd_THOR | =/\= | 04:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)"A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. [...] 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."
