Arbiter of Succession
This article spent more than 24 hours tagged for Speedy Deletion without any admin finding a case for it, or removing the tag as obviously inappropriate. I have replaced the Speedy tag with a VfD tag and am listing it accordingly. No vote. SWAdair | Talk 10:52, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Insignificant piece of Star Trek trivia. jni 11:35, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. For the same reason. Note, however, that there's a stomach turning amount of star trek trivia in the wikipedia that could be similarly deleted or merged or whatever. Avriette 12:09, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge or keep Star Trek stuff. Kappa 12:46, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or at best compress down to a sentence or two and stick in with Klingon Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 14:54, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into an article on the relevant episode. - SimonP 14:58, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Since the article for the episode doesn't currently exist, maybe Move it to Reunion (Star Trek) (that's the title List of Star Trek: TNG episodes is looking for) and tweak it so it's a start of the episode article, as that ep is the only time the 'Arbiter of Succession' is a major factor in Trek canon (the events of "Reunion" play a smaller role in the later ep "Redemption (Star Trek)", which already has an article)? Otherwise, de-link from Klingon and Delete, or merge/redir into Klingon. Niteowlneils 18:47, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Klingon. Kbdank71 19:32, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. What about all the other separate articles listed in Category:Star_Trek_politics? Should we merge each one into its relevant episode? Or combine them into one "Star Trek politics" article? Zzyzx11 20:45, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * In response to ZZyzx11, my answer is yes, if it's a minor or one-time reference such as Arbiter of succession. In the case of this article, merge with Klingon. 23skidoo 21:49, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * either Keep or merge to Klingon. Megan1967 23:18, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Klingon, Star Trek politics, or other suitable article. The Arbiter of Succession is a notable term in Star Trek but does not merit an article all to itself.   &mdash; J I P | Talk 17:11, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. Andrew pmk 04:13, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Klingon High Council rather than Klingon, since the subject's already mentioned there. Gazpacho 12:33, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
