Starfleet predates the UFP
Doesnt starfleet predate UFP? After all the Enterprise (NX-01) was not a federation vessel. -- Cat chi? 14:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

According to Enterprise, Earth Starfleet and the Federation Starfleet are not the same organization. Earth Starfleet (and it's academy) presumably was merged into a new Federation Starfleet when the UFP was founded.Gotham23 05:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Real Life
What about the "real life" club organization? 74.243.201.45 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.243.201.45 (talk) 17:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Ex Astris Scientia website
It isn't a fanon website.Dalek9 (talk) 07:13, 1 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is. Or, at least, it fails our criteria for WP:RS. --EEMIV (talk) 11:23, 1 September 2010 (UTC)


 * It is not fanon based on the definition from Fanon_(fiction). (Whether it is canon in the respective franchise is independent from whether it is or is not acceptable as a reliable WP source.) According to that page, "fanon is a customary and unofficial canon established in a spontaneous manner by the community of fans at large, for example fan clubs, whenever the official canon is not clear on some points of its narrative[1]." The Ex Astris Scientia website, in contrast, defines itself as sticking exclusively to the official canon facts, in fact pointing out inconsistencies in the canon, but not attempting to reconcile them by making up additional facts (fanon) (cf. "The canon policy at EAS accepts the definition of canon given by TPTB as the easiest way to avoid unnecessary discussions. (...) In contrast to websites that are based on a "personal canon", EAS neither ignores canon accounts at the outset nor adds non-canon information." ). Hence, calling it "fanon" is incorrect. To avoid confusion, "a website about canon" would probably be a better description than "a canon website", as the latter could be mistaken for saying that the website in itself is canon. The website is not, it just lists merely canon facts and no fanon facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.180.10.42 (talk) 15:49, 24 August 2011 (UTC) Sho


 * Should there not be some mention of said website somewhere on this page? Perhaps in the "other references" section. As one of the leading websites on the topic of Star Trek, and having been maintained for over 20 years it is more notable than, for example, the TV series based on Starfleet Academy which was never produced. 160.3.224.250 (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Notability
I'm not sure that Starfleet Academy is notable. A few hours looking for good sources came up empty, with there being a few enyclopedia entries and mentions of the new TV show, but no significant independent and reliable coverage. Perhaps it would be best to merge it with the Starfleet article? Imzadi23 (talk) 06:27, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
