Talk:Supernovae in fiction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Proposed merge
(1) Precedent is for "X in fiction" pages, where X is a scientific article, to be placed in separate articles. (2) This material is not properly cited, whereas supernova is an FA rated article. The addition of this material would subject the supernova page to an FAR and possibly demotion. So it would need to be stripped out.—RJH (talk) 16:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure. Nearly every scifi franchise has involved supernovae at some point, so a fiction list would be unending. Instead of a list, it might be a good idea to create a subsection dealing with the way supernovae are often portrayed in scifi, particularly the inaccuracies, such as our Sun or a tiny red star going nova.

- The Supernova article is already past the upper limit on article size, even after the material has been split into several sub-articles. I'm sure that may be a fine idea for an article, but I would prefer to see that developed on its own page. This would be in line with the multitude of other articles along a similar vein; all of which suffer from similar abyssmal lack of citations. In it's present form this simply isn't FA worthy material.—RJH (talk) 23:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
