Talk:Wing Commander technology and vehicles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below is a deletion debate over whether articles on TCS Capital Ships should be in Wikipedia:
TCS Vesuvius, TCS Concordia, Bengal-class strike carrier, Concordia class fleet carrier, TCS Ranger, TCS Cerberus, TCS Plunkett, and TCS Murphy are a small subset of the articles created on the Wing Commander video game, much of the work done on them being completed by Iceberg3k, phong, and BobMcdob, whom I recognize from Spacebattles. While the series is an undisputable cult classic, these articles are just more of the well-known problem of inappropriate fiction breakouts. I recommend a delete as non-notable -RedWordSmith 00:15, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to a single page, preferably the game itself. -- Allyunion 00:31, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Merge/redirect to Wing Commander (computer game).— Gwalla | Talk 03:11, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)- Just merging Bengal-class strike carrier into Wing Commander would make it a very long article -- this is basically a Pokemon-style datadump, and there are over 50 breakout articles from the main Wing Commander article as it is, which will have to be dealt with one way or another; merging these 8 in gracefully would be a difficult task. If it absolutely must be merged rather than deleted, I'd much rather that it be merged into the already questionably existing Technology and Vehicles (Wing Commander). But seriously, do wikipedia really need to know that the TCS Tiger's Claw has 28 Hornet light fighters, 28 Rapier II medium fighters, 14 CF-105 Scimitar medium fighters, 14 Raptor heavy fighters, 04 F-54 Epee light fighters, 04 F-57 Sabre heavy fighters, 4 A-17C Broadsword heavy bombers, 4 Interceptors, 2 CF-337d Troopships, and 2 Shuttles? - RedWordSmith 04:32, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Do anything that reduces the visibility of this stuff. Don't forget to to categorize into something under Category:Fictional, so that some day, praised will be the developers, I can make this all inivisible by setting one preference. -- Pjacobi
- Ooh, what a lovely idea. Average Earthman 00:57, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Delete all: subtrivial fancruft. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:20, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect (or, for all I care, delete outright). I do want to remark though, that Category:Fictional includes plenty that is not fancruft: I for one wouldn't want to turn on a switch that sends Newspeak down the memory hole. -- Jmabel 04:57, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)
- Merge into Technology and Vehicles (Wing Commander), and Delete originals. This is valid info about a computer cult classic, but not important enough for separate articles. Key45 21:42, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Merge and Delete is, regrettably, not generally considered a valid move, due to the requirement of attributing edits. See the policy page for details. - RedWordSmith 01:43, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- If it can't be merged just keep it and put it in category:fictional. So long as it is factually correct why worry about it? Unlike a traditional encyclopedia you don't have to thumb through the articles you aren't reading so why don't we take advantage of this. Perhaps someone someday will want to know this stuff and it seems a shame to delete valid information because we can't merge it (could someone explain why).Logicnazi 07:10, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I agree. Seeing as how there seems to be too much info to put into 1 article, I vote keep. Since the info is valid and the titles don't cause confusion with anything else, I don't see why this shouldn't stay. --Aqua 00:35, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 22:46, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
