Talk:Ur-Quan

Mediocre writing
It's really quite bad how the author of this page told the story of the Ur-Quan. Striving not to look like he's plagiarising the actual in-game content (which failed rather badly), he/she robbed the telling of most of its story-likeness. This looks like a police report, not something told in the presence of an open fire, to fascinated listeners. Single-verb sentences aren't really good for keeping the reader interested, you know. Someone PLEASE rewrite this?

--AbuDhabi

Why don't you rewrite it?

Agreed, why dont you show us how it should be done instead of criticising?

Exerpt from Fred Ford email discussion
I wanted to archive this here. I have no doubt that the quote is authentic, but the source is old and janky. It's documented here in case there is further discussion. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:39, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Notability
How is this notable? We do not have similar pages for more famous franchises (e.g. Zerg). This page has been deleted before for this reason. However, it was recreated with only "reliable source", not "secondary sources" or "independent of the subject".

Most of the "name drop" quotes in the "Reception" section are simply "mentions" in context of the game rather than about the race itself. They do not make the race stand out as a plot device or character. For example,

the above quote simply complement the soundtrack of Star Control II, rather than make a relevant statement about Ur-Quan's significance.--Voidvector (talk) 00:12, 19 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Wait, now it's the featured article of the whole wikipedia, lmao Baller McGee (talk) 20:32, 17 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed czar  04:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)


 * At one point it was all merged to List of Star Control races, but now this seems to be the only one with its own article. I think it does appear to be well-sourced, it would be pretty hard to become a featured article without it. Personally I am supportive of keeping the article. Andrevan @ 04:43, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
