The following was contributed at Ponn Farr, and is in some ways the better article--there's probably more that could be merged...
In the fictional Star Trek universe, a Vulcan condition that induces the desire to mate in an adult Vulcan. Symptoms generally include a chemical imbalance and loss of logic and emotional control.
Typically, a Vulcan will undergo the Ponn farr every 7 years of their adult life. During this time, one would generate the urge to return to their homeworld to find a mate. However, there are other means of treating the Ponn farr. Besides taking a mate one may challenge to a fight for death.
First appeared in Star Trek "Amok Time" written by Theodore Sturgeon.

[edit] Capitalization is inconsistent
The capitalization of the term needs to be made consistent throughout the article. -- J44xm 03:38, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Incorrect tense
Fixed incorrect tense in
"allowing the Vulcan to becoming bonded and to satisfy his urges."
[edit] Spock
"There is no canonical indication that Spock ever again experienced pon farr."
Well.. if you want to get technical, Spock experienced pon farr again in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock as a result of the genesis wave resurrecting him. BirdbrainedPhoenix 15:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] T'Pol
I know this is original research, but in Enterprise episode 2x25 Bounty, once T'Pol is healed, Dr. Phlox notes that T'Pol's "premature mating cycle has ended" implying that she knows when it's supposed to occur, meaning she has experienced it before. What do you think? Sxeraverx 19:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion nomination
Article nominated for deletion - article has a lot of information in it - but the article is in-universe and needs to be primarily real-world. That said, if the article was to shed the in-universe information it would not have enough real-world information to stand alone on its own. Maybe merge into the Vulcan page to save the article? But remember, that page as well needs to be real-world primarily. Articles like this are better suited for memory alpha and not Wikipedia. Ejfetters 23:11, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Result was no consensus, but you can discuss possible merging since several respondents voted to merge.--JForget 00:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pon farr.jpg
Image:Pon farr.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Tuvok
No one mentioned Lieutenant Tuvok from Voyager. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.13.47 (talk) 02:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Why the fan fiction emphasis?
Is homoerotic fan fiction really a significant enough part of the Star Trek universe that the majority of this entry has to refer to it? And not a single mention of Star Trek III? 99.232.87.203 (talk) 02:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Helo
