Is this article strictly necessary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfakim (talk • contribs)

There are many articles about fictional elements (Try looking up just about anything from Star Trek). I think that as long as the first thing one reads is that it's fictional and where it comes from, it's fine. --Lengau 23:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Ancients, Alterans, or Lanteans?
(From Paragraph 3) "For millions of years the Ancients (or Alterans, as they have been referred to) spread human life and prosperity throughout Pegasus..."

I thought that they were called Alterans before they entered the Milky Way, then Ancients in the Milky way, and finally lanteans in Pegasus? Gateworld.net's Omnipedia seems to agree with me.--Lengau 23:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

The name of their people was originally the Alterans, and remained as such throughout their existence. However, once they abandoned the Milky Way Galaxy for Pegasus, most species only knew them by their artifacts, and as such termed them the Ancients (Much as we refer to the Roman Monarchy/Republic/Empire as Ancient Rome). When they went to the Pegasus galaxy they travelled in and were ruled from the city of Atlantis, and as such were referred to as Atlanteans (Or simply Lanteans, depending on your interpretation of dialogue). You can think of it as their species being Alteran, their nationality being Atlantean, and Ancient simply a nickname given to them by others who didn't know better.

P.S. Please note that my species/nationality/nickname example isn't actually official, I just feel that they're good analogies.

Error
This article says that the Ancients spread life in the Pegasus Galaxy "just like" they did in the Milky Way Galaxy. That's not entirely true though. The Ancients did create the humans in the MW Galaxy, but they didn't spread them around. That was the Goa'ulds' doing much, much, much later. The Pegasus Galaxy is the only place so far we have seen in which the Ancients actively spread life throughout the galaxy. We actually, they could have just put them on one world again, and the humans utilized the Stargates and spread themselves. Who knows. Anyway, that paragraph implies a whole lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.50.49.239 (talk • contribs)


 * You make a good point. I'm not sure how much the Ancients spread life in the Milky Way, but they certainly didn't finish the job - the Goa'uld played a major role in that. --Tango 14:18, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Merge-and-redirect to Planets in Stargate
This article lacks demonstration of WP:NOTABILITY, and I believe the topic cannot even if it wanted to. Except for the intro, which I merged into Planets in Stargate, this article (Pegasus Galaxy (Stargate)) is just a retelling of plot in violation of WP:NOT. There is no article about Milky Way Galaxy (Stargate) for Stargate SG-1, so I believe this article is also not needed at all and I'll WP:BOLDly redirect it to Planets in Stargate. Per WP:BRD, please revert if you disagree, but demonstrate how this article could pass Notability (fiction). – sgeureka t•c 11:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
